Claudia Scherrer
My mission is to empower people to design their professional future in a rapidly changing world of work.
As a former management consultant, I have helped shape the digital transformation of many companies. One of my key learnings from that time:
In times of rapid change, a perfect plan is an inadequate means of successfully shaping the future.
An agile, iterative approach works much better. This is precisely the essence of the life design approach.
I used Life Design to design my own career transition from management consulting to career counseling and thus experienced for myself how the approach works. This motivated me to help other people design their professional future with Life Design.
In addition to my freelance work as a Life Design Coach & Facilitator, I work part-time as a vocational, academic and career counselor in the public sector and I am the mother of two school-age children.
