I want to achieve understanding for other cultural influences, for other needs, that we respect our diversity - and that we are in conversation. This means that we listen to and appreciate each other. But we also need to be clear and take a stand when someone does not abide by democratic rules. I look forward to exciting discussions!

Nicole Hahn

Coaching for more joie de vivre and ease of mind through work-life balance.

In my coaching sessions, I accompany people on their path to pursuing their professional ambitions with determination and achieving fulfillment in their careers. I also support clients in finding ways to reconcile family and career without a guilty conscience and to develop inspiration and courage for their future career path after parental leave or a sabbatical.

The personal needs of the client are at the forefront.

In addition to individual systemic coaching, I work with methods such as painting in coaching or coaching while walking.

I am a systemic coach, business education graduate and NLP practitioner. After 15 years in various positions at different companies in the textile industry in Innsbruck, Munich, London and Hanover, I decided to focus on my core topics of work-life balance, understanding of roles, equality and partnership.

I am passionate about the creative and unconventional. I like to paint and dip my hands in color. That's why I also run painting courses for children. Art makes me feel alive and free.
When I have the opportunity, I go hiking in the mountains. Walking is meditation for me and I draw my energy from nature.

My motto: "Everyone said it couldn't be done. Then someone came along who didn't know that and just did it."

I have been working as a holistic expert at Holisticon AG since September 2018 and am an agile coach by conviction. I am driven by transparent communication, value-adding work and, above all, respect in collaboration.
Together with my colleagues, I help companies on their path to agility and respectful cooperation. We use methods and frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban or Liberating Structures, but above all we focus on coaching and a holistic and systemic view.

In addition, I am committed to my favorite topic, "Working Out Loud", to bring people together and help them build sustainable and stable networks.

I have been living my vocation as a freelance coach and trainer since 2010. Member of the German Federal Association of Coaching as a Professional Coach DBVC.

I run certified health courses such as "Calm and confident under stress", "Progressive muscle relaxation" and workshops in companies in the area of workplace health promotion.

Two mottos whose truth I experience again and again - not only in coaching:

2. "Instead of letting the waves roll over you, learn to ride them."

After ten years as a social and cultural anthropologist in Berlin and Bhutan, I returned to my old home in Hanover. My interest in women and women's issues, which I had already focused on in my research, has led me on my new path towards equality, diversity and anti-discrimination.

My aim is to support people on an individual level to improve their personal life situation and on a social level to do something about structural discrimination against women and other genders as well as people from different cultural backgrounds. The topic of "reconciling family and career" has also grown close to my heart since my three children present me with new challenges on a daily basis.

Nerissa Rothhardt

Your rhetorical concerns are in the best hands with me in many respects:

Since 2010 I have been training groups, teams and individuals in seminars and coaching on the topics of rhetoric & voice and communication & conflict.

I am also an event presenter, keynote speaker, podcaster and organizer and presenter of the event series "Nessis Promi Talk", as well as a qualified conflict mediator, supervisor and systemic consultant.

Originally coming from a classical music background, I am a qualified orchestral musician and have been performing solo, in chamber music and orchestras since the age of 14.

After 25 years in orchestra and musical theater, I have changed sides and now, 14 years and about 10,000 people later, I am ready to make YOU fit for YOUR performance on the stage of life.

Since July 2021, I have been supporting the Women and Work Coordination Office as a freelancer in the areas of public relations and event planning.
As a special needs teacher, I particularly like the individual and holistic approach that the Coordination Office uses to empower women and promote equality.
The meaningfulness of my work is also important to me at my other job, the BNW. In one project, I support people looking for work individually over several months to improve their life situation.
