Purposeful Growth Coaching in Berlin
Everyone is different. That means that the picture of success and the journey to get there is different for everyone. Our Being and Doing are interrelated. This idea is core to Purposeful Growth Coaching.
Through personalized coaching sessions, I will help you clarify your picture of success, identify the limiting beliefs that are holding you back, and help you overcome them to achieve success in line with your purpose.
Experiences of clients
I had the pleasure of working with Leonie over a period of 4 months, in which she helped me target the limiting beliefs I had about myself and my career, see things from a different perspective, and create tools to handle challenging situations. I went from feeling lost about my career choice to feeling inspired and confident about my future. She is patient and warmhearted, but also not afraid to ask challenging questions that helped me grow and make important realizations about myself. I would 100% recommend her. Thanks again, Leonie! 🙂
Leroy, Team Lead
I can’t say enough great things about working with Leonie as my career coach. From our very first session, she made me feel completely at ease and comfortable opening up. Her warm personality and ability to really listen created such a supportive environment for self-reflection and growth.
What sets Leonie apart is her remarkable patience. She never rushed me and allowed me to proceed at my own pace, ensuring I had the space to fully explore my thoughts and goals. This patience was coupled with an incredible knack for gently pushing me to dig deeper when needed.
Another major strength is Leonie’s flexibility. Despite my constantly shifting schedule, she worked around my availability and made it easy to find times that worked for both of us. I always felt like a priority.
Overall, working with Leonie has been a transformative experience. She brings out the very best in me as a professional and an individual. I’m leaving our coaching partnership with more clarity, confidence, and drive than ever before. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Jeet, VP of Revenue Operations
As my first coach I ever worked with, Leonie assisted me in such a professional manner to have a more efficient and organized approach to some of the challenges coming ahead in my life and professional journey.

Esmaralda, Business Controller
Working with Leonie has been such a transformational experience. Leonie helped me understand and untangle my strengths from my limiting beliefs, by skillfully applying moments of reflection and encouraging me to think beyond my preconceived limitations. It was definitely challenging at times, but she does this with endless compassion and openness, and I have always felt safe to explore my thought pathways. While I recognise that personal growth is a journey, the lessons I have learnt with her so far have brought me already so much more balance – I will always take these with me wherever I go. Thanks so much Leonie!
Sharah, Senior Compliance Officer
Working with Leonie as a coach was a true game changer! As it was my first career coaching experience, I did not know to expect, but with Leonie’s help I could openly explore a lot of topics that were present in my career journey and get a confidence that I can keep building my career in my way. The spirit of co-creation was truly present in our sessions and Leonie did a great job making sure every session had a goal that we could make proactive steps towards. She is also a very open and earnest person, and walking into every session was a true joy for me – I often left our sessions energetic and inspired for the rest of the day or week. Also, her very tactful but direct way of communicating was a great fit for me. Thank you Leonie!
Natalia, Senior Product Manager
I experienced fantastic job coaching with Leonie! Her coaching has helped me tremendously, not only in professional matters like optimizing my resume and LinkedIn page, but also in personal development. The conversations about thought patterns not only helped me get to know myself better, but also helped me present myself more convincingly in the application process.
The positive atmosphere that Leonie has created has already improved my mood. She is not only friendly, approachable and accommodating, but also extremely solution-oriented and optimistic. Her holistic approach helped me grow not only professionally but also personally. I can fully recommend Leonie as a coach!
Christopher, Senior PR Manager
I had the pleasure of working with Leonie as my career coach. She is an exceptional listener, incredibly patient, and adept at challenging you to open up and discover professional and personal aspects of yourself you didn’t know existed. Her talent lies in creating a safe space where you can deep dive into self-reflection without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. As a result, you are empowered to pursue your career journey on your own terms. If you’re seeking a coach who truly understands, supports, and challenges you, consider hiring Leonie!
Jovan, Design Leader
Leonie helped me a lot as a career coach during the application phase and my career start. She created a very pleasant atmosphere and asked a lot of questions that challenged me, but I always felt like I could say anything. This gave me a lot of clarity about my insecurities and needs, and I also found ways to overcome them step by step. She helped me a lot to understand my thoughts and actions, which often occur automatically subconsciously, so that I can decide more consciously how I want to move forward. In any case, this gave me more self-confidence for job interviews, but also clarity about what I wanted and what a good path could be. The eye-opening moments are fun too 🙂 Leonie works a lot about listening and asking questions, there was never any judgment. I think she is a very positive, motivating person, so I can fully recommend coaching with her. (Translated by Google, German Original)
Laura, Junior Lawyer
I had an excellent coaching experience that led me to discover answers and brought new insights about myself to my awareness. Working with Leonie was enjoyable, and I felt at ease sharing my story with her. The entire experience felt holistic and aligned, contributing to a positive and transformative journey.
Christopher, Product Marketing
Leonie coached me purely because I was interested in coaching, with little preparation or previous thought about coaching at all; I merely wanted to see how it could support my personal growth. Leonie skillfully challenges your lines of thought, habits, your acting and how you interact with others and vice versa. We have also looked at situations that I brought in everyday life that I wanted to reflect on. Leonie is able to quickly come up with exercises to change your perspective on situations, and is super compassionate. Very professional and kind person, 100% recommend! Thank you!
Toine, Procurement & Supply Chain Manager
Together with Leonie, I have made a lot of progress in a relatively short time with organizing and managing plans for my professional and personal future. Leonie has a pleasant, relaxed way of coaching that made it very easy for me to get started with her suggestions and instructions.
Frank, Building a Brewery
I would definitely recommend Leonie as a coach! I came to her to guide me in the early career stage I am in. She knows exactly how to ask the right questions at the right time in a very pleasant manner. She is very understanding, a great listener and has a fun personality. Coaching has given me the tools to reconnect with inner-strength and made me more self-consciousness. Thanks Leonie!
Hanna, Project Manager
Leonie has helped me tremendously with a number of personal learning goals. She made, and makes, me look in the mirror in a nice way in order to make discoveries about myself. Definitely recommended if you want to work on your personal development in a nice, friendly way! Thanks Leonie 🙂
Sebastiaan, Account Manager
Leonie helped me unravel the entangled ball that contained my – sometimes contradictory – longings, wishes and dreams in a tangled web. Not by laying out the path I should take, but by discovering the internal mechanisms that obstruct me and to strengthen the tools to support me in dealing with these ‘saboteurs’. She did so with empathy, playfulness and sharp questioning.
Annette, Curation, artistic ally, cultural projects
Leonie helped me grow during the start of a new challenge in my career. She is a good listener, flexible and focuses on the right topics at the right moment. She understands the work context very well and has experience with moving abroad. Leonie helped me to find my inner peace and to focus more on my talents. I recommend working with her if you need support in personal growth.
Stefanie, HR & Recruitment Manager
I am so pleased that I started coaching with Leonie during the COVID-19 lockdown when I launched my own non-profit. My regular routine was upended and I was searching for support as well as the release of some blocks that I felt were in the way of my personal and professional well-being. She is a fantastic, empathetic listener who hears what you say – and even what you don’t say – in order to help you see your own inner wisdom. Leonie has helped me to create more joy in my work and in my life.
Beth, Non-profit Founder and President
Leonie was recommended to me as a coach at a time when I was feeling stuck and I’m so glad I started working with her. Her approach and her personality immediately resonated with me and our sessions, even though they push me out my comfort zone, are always uplifting and empowering. Thanks to Leonie I discovered tools that help me connect with my inner strength and detect what stands in my way to a purposeful and fulfilled life. Highly recommended to anyone who wishes to get some support on their path!
Sofie, Project Manager
I am a big fan of my Coaching sessions with Leonie. I always leave the sessions far more structured, with new ideas, points of views and perspectives, more positivity and a bigger smile than before my sessions. Leonie is not only a wonderful person to talk to, she never runs out of ideas, is very professional yet compassionate, very well organized and clearly communicating, and makes me feel always welcome and inspired. I am very grateful being able to work with Leonie!
Birgit, Product Manager
My experience with Coaching by Leonie is wonderful. She creates a safe and strong space for exploring. She makes an effort in finding and surfacing what it (what are you talking about) is really about, and can sense the truth behind your words. She is a strong listener and points you to things that can be brand new on your path of discovering yourself.
In addition, her program to find your niche combines her two powers (coaching and consulting) in a synergy that has care, curiosity and fun in it. It is a thorough program, and Leonie has a way to make it easy, fun and worthwhile. I have found my own way of marketing and in stead of resistance feel comfort around this now. Highly recommand for all who seek coaching or want help with their marketing struggles.
Noor, Transformation Coach
Leonie is a great coach, and I would highly recommend working with her. She helped my in my process to figure out next steps in further developing my company and myself. Leonie is really committed to your growth and she challenges you to get out of that comfort zone.
Sanne, strategy consultant and sustainability & social justice specialist
Jasminka, Creative Producer and Fundraiser
Leonie is exactly the coach I was looking for. Our sessions are an anchor point in my life wherein a lot is happening at the moment, from a break-up to the start of a new company. Every session is valuable, and she brings me almost effortlessly back to my strength within. I am very grateful she came on my path and I can see the positive impact the sessions have in my life, even amidst the turmoil. Leonie is very dedicated, makes the spiritual practical and walks her talk.
Florentine, Art Historian and Feng Shui Interior Specialist
Starting my own business had me facing important decisions and dilemma’s. What can be more helpful than a professional business coach? Leonie fulfilled this role perfectly. She is sharp, empathic, non judgmental and encouraging. Exactly what I needed!
Noortje, expert in political policy and communication
Working with Leonie was wonderful. I started engaging with her services in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown when I found myself in a deep crisis as I was going through some severe life changes. Although I had some vague ideas for my future, I lacked the clarity and conviction to actually set steps and follow through on them. Leonie’s natural sense of empathy and her skilful commitment to support me with whatever I needed at any moment helped me greatly with progressing with my life, and I now feel much more equipped to keep pursuing this direction. Highly recommended!

Purposeful Growth
I define “Purpose” as “Essence in Action”. It is about being and doing. Your being is the essence of you. It consists of the things you deeply believe in. All that you value most and what you want to take a stance for in life. Your doing, is all that can be observed about you. These are the roles you fulfil in a family or in a business. It’s the way you react to certain situations. The choices that you make – or not make.
Purposeful growth happens when being and doing team up. It is a continuous process of consciousness, awareness and movement. Growth is ongoing. Fulfilment is found in the flow of purposeful growth itself. It’s when this flow gets out of balance, when we feel stuck.
Purpose is Essence in Action
It's about being and doing

Go for it!
To all wanderers
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
– J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
