What my clients say

“Dr. Karbaum helped adapt my profile and experience to the German market in a way that allowed me to find my next challenge. I highly reccomend his services, he is willing to go the extra mile for his clients.”

Flavia Galacho CórdobaBusiness Development Manager

“As an experienced engineer, I was advised by Dr. Karbaum during a phase of professional reorientation. I particularly appreciated his extensive, cross-industry knowledge of the working world and the related knowledge sharing.”

Thomas KäßemodelQuality Manager

“I am a satisfied client of Dr. Markus Karbaum. He delivers coaches either in English or German language depending on client’s choice. Sitting around the coaching table with him objectively guided me in putting my Business Idea on a paper. He is currently partnering with me on operationalisation of my Business Plan. I highly recommend him to clients. Try him too, his services are five-star thumbs-Up!”

Dr. Evans RonoBiologist & Founder

“The cooperation with Dr. Karbaum has had a lasting impact on my professional goals. He could very quickly objectively think his way into my personal situation. In the coaching sessions with him, we developed various professional options – many of which I personally would never have thought of before. He encouraged me to consider options that were unthinkable for me even before and encouraged me to leave my comfort zone. So I had a lot of possibilities on the table and a lot of ‘food-for-thought’ after the appointments.”

Anja FröhlichProject Manager

“At a time when I felt that I had done nothing at all in my life, Dr. Karbaum managed to give me the confidence that it is more the world that needs me than the world that needs me. This may sound pompous, but it is precisely this belief in oneself that is desperately needed in order to appear in job interviews with the little something that makes the decisive difference.”

Jana LöschkeRisk Manager

“Dr Markus Karbaum is an excellent tutor in phases of professional (re)orientation. His coaching and extensive knowledge of cross-industry job requirements and potential career opportunities have always proven to be of great practical value to my application work and have successfully guided me through numerous selection procedures and interviews. For the special challenges of professional change processes, I can unreservedly recommend the expertise and work of Dr Karbaum. If you are looking for an experienced, dedicated and at the same time open and directly communicating sparring partner, you are making an excellent choice in the jungle of other job-related coaching and consulting offers.”

Konstantin KostenConsultant

“Many thanks for the coaching and your support in my start phase. I particularly liked your openness, coupled with the necessary leadership and focus on results. Thanks to our regular exchange, I was able to integrate your recommendations well into my daily business.”

Sebastian ClasenCarsultant

“Markus Karbaum coaches with true conviction and empathy. Through his goal-oriented coaching I gained the necessary self-confidence and sovereignty to successfully complete complex application procedures in the political field (Foreign Office, GIZ, United Nations). I am very grateful to Mr Karbaum for his commitment.”

Wie Sie das Impostor-Syndrom in den Griff bekommen

Das Impostor-Syndrom erschwert vielen Erwerbstätigen, positiv auf ihre Arbeit zu blicken und Erfolge als solche zu verkaufen. Diese massiven Selbstzweifel können eine Karriere nachhaltig beschädigen – also weg damit!

Fühlen Sie sich manchmal als Hochstapler und kurz davor, als solcher entlarvt zu werden? Denken Sie häufiger, dass Sie mehr Glück als Verstand hatten, um berufliche Aufgaben zufriedenstellend zu lösen und Ziele zu erreichen? Und glauben Sie fest daran, dass Sie das, was Sie bisher erreicht haben, nicht verdient haben? Dann kann es sein, dass Ihnen das Impostor-Syndrom bzw. Hochstapler-Syndrom zusetzt. Weiterlesen

Nur keine Hemmungen im Bewerbungsprozess!

Hemmungen und Blockaden sind bei Jobsuchern nicht selten. Oft lassen sie sich auflösen, wenn Bewerber die Perspektive verändern, mit der sie Stellenanzeigen begegnen und den weiteren Kennenlernprozess gestalten.

Nicht alle Erwerbstätigen schaffen es nach Beendigung einer Beschäftigung, sich sofort und mit Elan in den Bewerbungsprozess zu stürzen. Oft ist es nur eine gewisse Unlust gepaart mit dem Bedürfnis, sich von der letzten Anstellung erst einmal zu erholen. Andere wiederum sind zwar überaus motiviert, eine neue Stelle zu finden, kommen aber trotzdem kaum voran. Dann gilt zu überprüfen, woran es liegt – und ob tiefersitzende Blockaden dafür ursächlich sind. Weiterlesen

Altersdiskriminierung: Woher sie kommt und was dagegen hilft

Altersdiskriminierung ist mit voller Wucht in den Arbeitsmarkt zurückgekehrt. Mit Blick auf den angeblichen Fachkräftemangel darf dies durchaus verwundern. Was ist bloß los in Deutschland?

In den letzten eineinhalb Jahren waren die Zeichen der Zeit kaum noch zu übersehen. Deutlich mehr Menschen haben mein Coaching in Anspruch genommen, die selbst zu Beginn der Pandemie deutlich weniger Schwierigkeiten hatten, eine sozialversicherungspflichtige Beschäftigung in dem von ihnen bevorzugten Bereich zu finden. Auch wenn es aktuell (noch) keine eindeutigen statistischen Belege gibt, bin ich mir ziemlich sicher, dass hinter der wachsenden Altersdiskriminierung ein unguter Trend sein Unwesen treibt.
