What our clients say

“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

“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

“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

“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

“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

“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.”

Dr. Tilman ScherfAttaché

“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

“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!”

Spekulative Fragen in Vorstellungsgesprächen elegant umschiffen

Zur Gattung kniffliger Fragen in Vorstellungsgesprächen gehören auch solche, die Bewerber zum Spekulieren verführen. Sie zu erkennen und angemessen zu kontern fällt selbst erfahrenen Bewerbern oft schwer.

Viele Bewerberinnen und Bewerber begehen den Kardinalsfehler bereits vor ihren Vorstellungsgesprächen. Denn sie missinterpretieren sie als Prüfung mit klar verteilten Rollen. Daher sei es bereits an dieser Stelle deutlich gesagt: Nein, die Arbeitgeber-Vertreter sind keine Prüfer, der Bewerber kein Prüfling! Anstatt dessen prüfen beide Seiten, die sich immer auf Augenhöhe begegnen sollten. Weiterlesen

So kommen Sie nach dem Vertrauensbruch im Berufsleben wieder auf die Beine

Ein ultimativer Vertrauensbruch setzt vielen Betroffenen schwer zu. Wenn er passiert, sollte jeder seine Optionen kennen und proaktiv handeln.

Bei Julia H. lief der Berufseinstieg phantastisch. Sie hatte ihrem Teamleiter schnell gezeigt, wozu sie imstande ist, der ihr wiederum immer verantwortungsvollere Aufgaben gab. Dazu gehörte auch die Vorbereitung einer Kundenpräsentation, in der sich beide eng abstimmten, um die Vorgaben des Abteilungsleiters umzusetzen. Doch das Kundenmeeting endete abrupt, als der Key Account missbilligend einen völlig neuen Ansatz forderte. Gegenüber der Geschäftsführung waren sich Team- und Abteilungsleiter darin einig, dass Julia H. die Präsentation alleine erstellt habe. Sie konnte einfach nicht das Gegenteil beweisen, da es keine schriftlichen Vorgaben gab und die Präsentation an ihrem Rechner erstellt wurde. Weiterlesen

Willkommen in der VUCA-Welt!

Die Spatzen pfeifen schon lange VUCA! von den Dächern. Durch Covid-19 dürfte es auch der letzte gehört haben. Aber noch haben nicht alle wirklich begriffen, was sie uns bringt, die schöne neue VUCA-Welt. Und viel wichtiger noch: Wie begegnen wir ihrer neuen fundamentalen Herausforderungen?

Die Welt ist VUCA, daran kann es keinen Zweifel geben. Vielleicht war sie es schon immer, aber neu ist das hohe Tempo, das Mobilität, die digitale Revolution und weltumspannende Liefer- und Wertschöpfungsketten auf ein schwindelerregendes Ausmaß geschraubt haben. VUCA wurde in den 1990er Jahren beim amerikanischen Militär entwickelt und bedeutet volatility – also Volatilität bzw. Unbeständigkeit –, uncertainty (Unsicherheit), complexity – Komplexität – und ambiguity (Mehrdeutigkeit). Weiterlesen
