- “Felicitas von Elverfeldt is more than a coach – she is a true partner when it comes to personal and professional growth. What I value most about her: she never tries to change me. Instead, she helps me focus on what truly matters to me and on how others perceive my strengths and my behavior. The decision of how far I want to go to meet expectations always remains mine.
One thought of hers that I have adopted as a guiding motto: “You are good just as you are. And your potential lies within you – you can use it or leave it untapped – it is always your decision.” This simple yet powerful message has helped me accept myself with all my ups and downs and make conscious decisions.
A central element of our work together was the Hogan assessment, which has had a lasting impact on my understanding of myself, my drivers, and my triggers. Felicitas von Elverfeldt guided me through the results with great empathy and clarity and showed me that there is no “good” or “bad” – only individual traits and patterns worth working with. Her approach is never judgmental, but always aimed at uncovering what is truly relevant and helpful for me.
Felicitas von Elverfeldt creates a space of trust, clarity, and genuine empowerment. Working with her has been of great value to me.”
Dr. Astrid Bauer, Global Tax & Legal Risk & Quality Leader, Partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers - “We asked Ms. von Elverfeldt to support us in transforming the leadership culture for the Europe region through team and individual coaching at board level. To that end, Ms. von Elverfeldt first used Hogan Assessments to conduct a baseline analysis with each of us, assessing the extent to which we were already living the leadership culture we aspired to.
For more than a year, Felicitas von Elverfeldt has done an outstanding job of helping our leadership team grow closer together by clearly identifying the team’s strengths and weaknesses and successfully integrating new members into the team. Throughout, Ms. von Elverfeldt works in a highly professional, methodically astute, and empathetic manner.
The team coaching she led played a decisive role in raising the mutual trust within our leadership team to an unprecedented level.
This helps us successfully master even major challenges together.
With equal success, great sensitivity, and remarkable clarity in individual coaching, she has been instrumental in making it much easier for each of us to master our individual challenges. Working with colleagues and superiors we previously found difficult now comes easily, and both as a team and individually we have significantly more self-confidence – and we radiate it into the organization.”
Andreas Hamann, Senior Vice President HR Europe, automotive industry, member of the Europe Board - “Ms. von Elverfeldt quickly connected with the most diverse personalities through clarity, humor, and sensitivity. Her insights reach far beyond individual coaching and have opened up new perspectives in my career.
She lastingly strengthened the collaboration within our international leadership team, rounded out by her experience of the ‘inner workings’ of large corporations.
It is not without reason that I have recommended her within my closest circle.”
Philip Schaefer Jaramillo SVP – Head of Downstream Processing & Validation Services / Process Solutions at Merck Life Science - “Ms. von Elverfeldt is without doubt an outstanding coach. She has many strengths, above all in reflecting on strategic and tactical levers in the business world. Her broad network in the banking industry further supports her valuable solutions.
She was always available, even at short notice, and responded quickly. Through her excellent contributions in the context of leadership coaching, Ms. von Elverfeldt has had a lasting positive impact on my professional performance and development.”
Lothar Meenen, Managing Director, Deutsche Bank - “Analysis at the speed of light – with help translating it into practice.”
Dr. Michael Frank, Executive R & D Leader, Leica - “Through our coaching, Felicitas von Elverfeldt helped me make a life decision that proved pivotal for me. It allowed me to set out on a new path with strength and conviction – a path that was, and continues to be, the starting point for so much good in my life. I have not doubted or regretted that decision for a single day.”
Executive at an international company - “Ms. Elverfeldt is a business coach who supports self-discovery with highly committed and targeted suggestions.
Starting from a vision of measurable and verifiable improvements, she helped me achieve these goals through concrete tasks and activities, combined with tips and tricks to try out and a regular review of the results.
Alongside this structured and rigorous approach, she posed highly nuanced and multi-layered questions to foster my self-realization and help me discover my own answers.
For me in particular, coming from an international background and working in a German-led organization, this helped me develop my own personality and my own style.
Most importantly, however, it enabled me to build lasting relationships with bosses and team members across cultures (South American, German, European, Middle Eastern) while achieving highly respected results within the bank.”
Managing Director, Deutsche Bank - “Ms. von Elverfeldt’s highly professional coaching sessions – tailored all the while to individual needs and situations – coached and supported me through a very complex and demanding leadership role.
Her repertoire of diverse styles and techniques is outstanding and made it possible to generate solutions and successes for every situation quickly and with great efficiency.
I am also extremely grateful for the personal guidance and support Felicitas von Elverfeldt has given me in my working life as well as on a personal level. This has not only strengthened my personal skills and self-confidence, but also given me the tools to handle challenging situations, both professional and private, far better in the future.
Thank you so much for your support and the excellent coaching!”
Michaela A. Reuter, Global Fortron® PPS Strategy Manager, Ticona Engineering Polymers (A business of Celanese) - “The training with Felicitas von Elverfeldt was an important enrichment for us. She shares her knowledge with expertise, focus, and charm.
With her analytical skills and her deep understanding of corporate structures and processes, she gave us very concrete impulses that we could put to use immediately.”
Monika Schammas and Udo Lahm, partners at comtract (communications and HR consultancy) - “A management seminar gave me plenty of ideas and food for thought regarding my positioning within the company, opportunities for developing my personality, and questions of people leadership.
Turning all of this into concrete objectives, putting them into a meaningful order of priority, and then successfully implementing them within a relatively short time, however, was a mammoth task I could not have managed on my own.
Ms. von Elverfeldt provided invaluable assistance at every stage, advised me competently and purposefully, and gave me the confidence that I could master this task.
The positive feedback from my superiors as well as from my professional and private circles motivates me to continue on this path and actively seek out new challenges.
I look forward to Ms. von Elverfeldt continuing to accompany me on this journey.”
Ralf B., Managing Director in Global Markets, banking sector - “Focused coaching that responds to individual preferences and needs.
Ms. von Elverfeldt combines extensive methodological knowledge and experience with intuition and a keen sense for the realities of the business world.”
Bernhard S., Team Head, Frankfurt/Main, banking sector - “An apt and precise analysis of the starting situation. I quickly learned to use my strengths in a more targeted and pointed way, and I experienced tangible positive changes.”
Torsten L., second-level executive, international financial services provider - “The coaching was a win for me personally and for the company.”
Andreas H., Managing Director, banking sector - “Outstanding support for mastering difficult professional situations with professionalism and composure.”
Peter F., Head of Logistics, large international industrial company - 1. “Helping me help myself is what I expected. That expectation was fully met.”
2. “An empathetic coach who understands her role can reveal paths that were merely hidden.”
3. “Where do I stand, what am I capable of, where do I want to go, what have I achieved?
Elementary yet very difficult questions. Ms. von Elverfeldt has the gift of providing decisive pointers toward answering them.
4. “Now that I am fully aware of my values, life is easier, happier, and more purposeful – something I would not have achieved without coaching.”
Thomas S., Engineering Manager, international industrial group - 1. “Coaching helps me deal with unfamiliar situations or people. You pay less in costly lessons, because you can work through the situation with your coach in advance. Coaching helps you become aware of your own patterns of thinking and acting, view them from a distance, and, when necessary, let them go.”
2. “Other people sometimes have completely different needs and ways of thinking, whose significance for those around them we tend to completely underestimate.”
Alexis T., project engineer, large German industrial company - “I speak of ‘collaboration’ here because I often do not feel coached – it feels much more as if I were sitting in a workshop on optimizing a work process.
The structured approach – ‘describing the case, condensing it through follow-up questions, discussing the framework and environment, and finally a clear analysis with proposed solutions that takes my personal situation and character traits into account’ – is what makes your coaching so practical and actionable.
Beyond that, I am often amazed at the profound thought processes – reaching far beyond the professional sphere – that your questions or ‘exercises’ trigger in me. For me, coaching is the foundation for safeguarding my performance over the long term.”
Jörg H., managing director in the logistics industry - “Strong, rapid growth of our corporate group requires a series of changes, development initiatives, and personality-oriented growth across all management levels, grounded in the existing corporate culture and social competencies.
Whether individual coaching or a management audit, Felicitas von Elverfeldt is always spot-on with her expertise in these processes – and that is how we found our direction.”
Heinz D., Member of the Executive Board/COO, technology group of an internationally operating holding company
