The Scientist Coach

I had the opportunity to be coached by Iris and it was a very helpful experience. I was looking for a way to identify my skills and how I could use them on my new career path. She gave me tools and feedback which guided me to reflect and develop my own conclusions. She really understood my needs and she was very supportive during the whole process.

I would like to thank you for offering such an interesting workshop! I really like the way it was handled virtually. It was super dynamic and you could really see that we took advantage of the digital tools in the best way possible.

I started the coaching with Iris because I needed some light in my next step in the career path. All the sessions were very fulfilling and I was always looking forward the next one. She made me look at my life holistically and focus on the things that I wanted to improve or change. She helped me to organise my goals, put them on a time line and centre my efforts in accomplishing them. I definitely recommend her coaching sessions.

I found the course extremely useful because it gave me tools to explore my career options from the basis (knowing my self) to the final steps (like applying for a job).

I recommend this course because it can really help kick-start your career planning and provide you with plenty of very helpful information, exercises and insights.

Iris has a past academic career, which makes the communication of professional goals and wishes easier. I also felt like the practical exercises offered in the coaching sessions were a good way to bring the abstract nature of academia to a more palatable, industry-friendly level.

Der Kurs zum Kompetenzprofil hat mich wirklich in besonderem Maße in meiner persönlichen Entwicklung vorangebracht. Was vorher “unbeschreiblich” schien, hatte ich nachher als Liste vor mir, an der ich nun weiterarbeiten kann und die ich in meinem Lebenslauf oder auch in konkreten Bewerbungen aufgreifen kann. Vielen, vielen Dank!

Ein sehr gut organisierter Kurs, der einem hilft, die eigenen Kompetenzen zu erkennen und dann auch für Bewerbungsgespräche formulieren zu können. Iris nimmt sich sehr viel Zeit für jeden einzelne. Sehr zu empfehlen!

This course opens a space to learn, reflect, and discuss the importance of reducing stress in our daily life… a very important issue in our busy lives.”

Working with Iris has been expansive. We’ve had three sessions over which we dove deep into ‘former lives’ and work experience, teased out long-forgotten skillsets and re-examined core values. The basic package is a decent starter kit for relocating that often elusive sweet spot or ikigai – between what you’re good at, what inspires you, and what you can ultimately make a living from.
