Katharina's work experience:
I’m Katharina, a senior director strategy at adidas and your career and leadership coach.
I empower ambitious women so that they get more recognition for their work and create career opportunities that are exciting for them and match their potential. I believe that women can have it all - a successful career and a great family life!
My unique understanding of processes in the corporate world, as well as my coaching and leadership experience with executives, helps women worldwide to create real business-relevant added value for a company and to position themselves as highly sought-after experts or leaders.
I have supported many women around the world to create quality career opportunities, to move into the jobs they really want, to successfully manage their leadership roles, to negotiate the terms that suit their career stage and to negotiate their salary with confidence and fun. I support women to go their own personal way authentically and self-confidently in order to be successful and relaxed. Mindful high performance!
For more than 25years, my mission has been to promote equal opportunities and close the gender pay gap. You too can make a significant contribution to this if you take active responsibility for your own career development, both in terms of content and financially.
Get more recognition for your work and create career opportunities that are exciting for you and match your potential - I am by your side!

I'm having trouble deciding who to apply for, how do you pick a good mentor?That all depends on your career goals for the upcoming months- so ask yourself where do you want to be in half a year or year from now. Do you want to expand your company in a certain field? Start your own company? Or side business? Do you want to gain a particular skill set? Or maybe you want to move up within your corporation? Choosing a good mentor FOR YOU depends on a lot of things. But we’ve seen that a good mentor mentee relationship and successful outcomes mainly depends on good chemistry aka. you two get along and that the person can give you relevant advice and know-how that will help to excel in YOUR personal career. So ask yourself: “Will I vibe well with this person?” “How is their career and experience relevant to mine?” “How will it help me get to where I want to be in a certain period of time?” "How could my mentor actually benefit from my knowhow and skillset?"
