Hi, I'm Jana.

I work with leaders and professionals who are navigating change, responsibility and complex workplae dynamics.

My background spans more than 15 years in international environments across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. I have worked with executives, institutions, partners, clients, and multicultural teams, leading international programs, managing stakeholder relationships, and coordinating complex projects and collaborations.

Across these different roles, one theme has remained constant: helping people make sense of complexity, bring different perspectives together, and move forward.

Originally from Kazakhstan, raised in Germany, shaped by time in the United States, and based in Paris for the past decade, I have spent much of my life working across cultures, languages, and ways of thinking. This experience continues to influence how I work today: with curiosity, empathy, pragmatism, and a strong interest in the human side of leadership and organizational life.

Let's talk

Coaching

Many clients come to coaching during periods of transition or increased responsibility: stepping into a new role, leading a team, managing competing priorities, navigating organizational change, or preparing for important conversations.

Coaching offers space to pause, reflect, and think more clearly about what matters. Together, we explore challenges, clarify priorities, strengthen decision-making, and work through leadership and workplace dynamics in a thoughtful and practical way.

Common topics include

Leadership transitions and promotions
Communication and stakeholder relationships
Difficult conversations and feedback
Role clarity and positioning
Decision-making and competing priorities
Confidence, visibility, and influence
Managing uncertainty and complexity

Sessions are available online in English, German, and French.

Thank you very, very much for your professional coaching support. I was really moved by the way you work with people. You were able to clearly work out my challenges from my vague explanations and not let me lose sight of them during the sessions. I really appreciated your sense of humour which did not mean that you lost a certain seriousness when working on the topics. The main thing I take away from working with you is to appreciate what I have already achieved. I realise that it's okay to sometimes simply relax and not have to give 120% all the time. Every time I walk past my mirror, I have to smile because I can't help but think of our shared appreciation phrase ;)

about me

Professional Background

Before becoming a coach, I spent more than 11 years working in international business and organizational environments.

I led international programs and events, managed partnerships, and worked closely with executives, institutions, sponsors, government representatives, and multicultural teams. My growing interest in leadership, communication, decision-making, and organizational dynamics eventually led me to executive coaching.

I trained as a certified executive coach at Henley Business School and hold accreditations recognized by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the Association for Coaching (AC), and the European Mentoring & Coaching Council (EMCC).
