About me
As a certified Systemic Change Manager and Agile Coach, I integrate a wealth of knowledge into my work with teams and managers. As a Scrum Master and Design Thinker, I can also apply this New Work Mindset in practice.
In over 20 years of working as a freelance choreographer, I have also developed a strength in leading multidisciplinary groups through complex projects. In this art form, you work under time pressure, with constantly changing parameters and challenges. It is a field of work in which agility has long been a prerequisite for productive work.
In my professional career in the cultural sector to date, I have gained leadership experience in various positions in addition to my artistic work and have initiated or accompanied several change processes.
In addition to the creative-artistic methods, I bring my extensive experience as a dance artist and manager in the cultural sector to this work and mediate across a broad spectrum of disciplines and organizations. I facilitate in the fields of urban planning, culture and other interdisciplinary settings. At the core of my work lies a deep trust in the art of improvisation as the most effective practice for transformative action.
What’s important to me
For me, creativity means thinking in all directions. Building on two decades of artistic and pedagogical work, I have developed a form of team training that focuses on the body and perception, that trains curiosity and imagination. This somatic approach via the body can trigger miraculous developments, especially for teams in which there is resistance that has already been talked about a lot.

Gabriele has been supporting our institution in a long-term change process for some time now, while also coaching both the team and individual employees on specific projects, conflicts or issues in the short term. She manages to understand very different characters and how they work together, to get everyone involved, to build deep trust and to initiate reflection. She understands complex relationships and interlocking processes very quickly, always gets to the heart of the matter and never loses sight of the goal.
With her humor, her clarity and her high level of empathy, she succeeds in creating and maintaining a space of security and possible further development even in challenging situations. She incorporates exciting methods of agile coaching, design thinking and bodywork, while always reacting openly and flexibly to everything that arises in the process. We are very grateful to Gabriele for the enriching and sustainable collaboration!
Gabriele’s workshop was great – her combination of technical scenario planning with performance skills has helped me to make future visions more tangible and more actionable. Super productive and easy at the same time – that’s how workshops have to be!
