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.”

Auf der Schwelle zu einem neuen Zeitalter

Disruptive Technologien verändern unsere (Arbeits-)Welt in ungeahntem Ausmaß. Auch wenn noch längst nicht klar ist, was genau auf uns zukommt, steht eines bereits fest: Die Menschheit tritt in ein neues Zeitalter.

Ein häufig gehörter Spruch während meiner Wehrdienstzeit war Nichts ist wechselhafter als die Lage. An ihn erinnere ich mich immer dann, wenn ich versuche, die Auswirkungen disruptiver Technologien auf die Arbeitswelt von morgen zu verstehen und für meine Klienten begreifbar zu machen. Denn die Veränderungen sind gleichermaßen rasant wie fundamental, weshalb Erkenntnisse von gestern oft die Trugschlüsse von morgen sind. Weiterlesen

Kennen Sie Ihre inneren Glaubenssätze?

Glaubenssätze prägen unsere Persönlichkeit und unser Weltbild. Sie sind tief in uns verankert und schwer loszuwerden. Das ist aber überaus wichtig, wenn sie zu einem negativen Selbstbild beitragen oder ursächlich für tiefe Krisen sind.

Tatsächlich ist es nicht erforderlich, die inneren Glaubenssätze zu kennen. Wer gut durchs (Berufs-)Leben kommt, kann sie gerne unerforscht in sich ruhen lassen. Doch wenn von ihnen strukturelle negative Wirkungen ausgehen, kann die Reflexion der inneren Glaubenssätze notwendig werden. Manchmal ist sie sogar die letzte Lösung, wenn in der Krisenbewältigung alle anderen Ansätze nicht fruchten. Weiterlesen

Die Kunst der eleganten Kündigung

Eine Kündigung oder Trennung ist im Berufsleben manchmal unumgänglich. Doch viele Arbeitnehmer halten aus den falschen Gründen zu lange an einem schlechten Job fest, während andere wiederum überstürzt flüchten. Doch es kann auch anders gehen.

Wer unzufrieden im oder mit dem Job ist, kann sich damit abfinden oder versuchen, die Gesamtsituation zu seinen Gunsten zu verändern. Über beide Optionen hatte ich zuletzt an dieser Stelle geschrieben. Manchmal fallen beide Möglichkeiten aber aus – dann bleibt nur noch die Trennung. Doch dabei können nicht nur aus rechtlicher Sicht Fehler passieren. Und es gibt es weitere Aspekte, die es zu bedenken, zu beachten und zu planen gilt. Weiterlesen
