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.”

Es gibt zahllose Annäherungen an den Begriff, die sich entweder auf den Kern der Bedeutung beziehen oder die umfangreichen unterschiedlichen Variationen beleuchten. Alle eint das Ziel, mit einem grundlegenden Verständnis eine Vorstellung zu entwickeln, was gute Teamarbeit sein kann. Weiterlesen

LinkedIn für Fortgeschrittene: Was gut funktioniert und was nicht

LinkedIn ist seit einigen Jahren die wichtigste berufliche Social Media-Plattform. Viele, die sich dort neu registrieren, wissen allerdings nicht, was sie von LinkedIn erwarten können – und was nicht.

Durch den anhaltenden Niedergang von Xing ist LinkedIn nicht erst seit gestern der zentrale Anbieter für digitale Selbstvermarktung und Netzwerken geworden. Nicht nur für High Potentials, Führungskräfte und Freiberufler bietet LinkedIn viele nützliche Funktionen, für die kein Bezahlabonnement erforderlich ist. Dennoch gibt es so einiges, worauf Erwerbstätige achten sollten, wenn sie dort aktiv sind. Weiterlesen

Woran auch leistungsstarke Fach- und Führungskräfte scheitern können

Scheitern ist in unserer Leistungsgesellschaft immer noch weitgehend tabuisiert. Denn ihm haftet ein Makel an, der auf der persönlichen Ebene Spuren hinterlässt. Da dies mitunter lange nachwirken kann, ist es höchste Zeit, diese Denkschemata hinter uns zu lassen.

Der legendäre Erfinder Thomas Edison lehnte die Möglichkeit zu scheitern rundheraus ab. Bis heute ist sein berühmter Ausspruch in Erinnerung geblieben: „I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.“ Da er letztendlich doch noch sehr erfolgreich die Glühbirne erfand, konnte er offenbar recht milde auf den langen, mühseligen Erfindungsprozess zurückblicken. Doch das ist im Berufsleben nicht jedem vergönnt. Und tatsächlich halte ich es vielmehr mit seiner Landsfrau Goldie Chan, die 2018 ihren Lesern zurief: „Be ready to fail.“ Weiterlesen
