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!”

Von der Kunst, zuversichtlich zu bleiben

Die Welt taumelt, und alle sind mittendrin. Wie es angesichts der größten Krise seit 75 Jahren gelingen kann, zuversichtlich zu bleiben.

Zugegeben, auch mich beeindrucken die desaströsen Nachrichten rund um Covid-19 nicht zu rational, sondern auch emotional. Wer könnte schon von sich das Gegenteil behaupten? Solche Personen müssten schon ein deutliches Defizit an Empathie aufweisen. Es ist daher nur menschlich. Aber wie so häufig im Leben kommt es auf das richtige Maß an – zu viel Empathie in der jetzigen Situation wäre fatal, denn sie ebnet den Weg zu notorischem Pessimismus. Auch wenn die Faktenlage eher dafür spricht. Weiterlesen

Im Strudel von Covid-19? Was jeder nun für sich beruflich tun kann

Der Virus Covid-19 und seine Folgen haben das Potential, unseren Wohlstand wie kein anderes Ereignis seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zu gefährden. Da ist es aktuell wohl nur ein schwacher Trost, dass mit einer Krise meist auch neue Chancen entstehen.

Eigentlich wollte ich in diesem Monat über den Mythos Fachkräftemangel bloggen. Doch Covid-19 stellt alles auf den Kopf. Und da wir uns allem Anschein nach am Vorabend einer Rezession befinden, dürften bald wieder deutlich mehr Fachkräfte nach einem neuen Arbeitgeber suchen als umgekehrt. Man muss kein Prophet sein, um zu erkennen, dass nicht wenige Beschäftigte und vor allem die 5 Millionen Freiberufler und Soloselbständigen vor überaus schwierigen Zeiten stehen. Weiterlesen

Pitchen will gelernt sein

Gründer, die die Kunst im Pitchen beherrschen, kommen ihrem angestrebten Ziel meist einen großen Schritt näher. Dabei ist es weniger Rhetorik als Handwerk, das jeder erlernen kann.

Wer in Berlins pulsierende Start-up-Szene eintaucht, kommt um sie nicht herum: Events, auf denen Gründer ihre Ideen präsentieren. Pitchen nennt man das neudeutsch und bedeutet nichts anderes als in wenigen Minuten andere vom Wesentlichen zu überzeugen. Doch was dieses Wesentliche ist, unterscheidet sich von Gründer zu Gründer mitunter erheblich. Leider sind sich die meisten Präsentatoren darüber nicht im Klaren und vergeben so Potential. Weiterlesen
