Profile of Gabriele Braemer
I love playing with life’s complexities
What keeps me busy
I love diversity. It can give rise to so many new things. It invigorates and enriches. And is equally challenging.
Travelling is therefore one of my key sources of inspiration, enabling me to continually re-explore how to navigate the dynamics of change and the complexity of our lives. You learn to improvise, to adapt flexibly to unfamiliar situations and to be patient, to cope with uncertainty and to engage with very different cultures, their values and rituals. This realisation became both my calling and my profession. The phrase ‘Understand the situation, make it your material and work with it’ sums it up quite well.
The roots of my company, founded in 2000 lie in a particular ‘golden’ moment during my education in corporate theatre. I was fascinated to see how issues of change within organisations and teams could be addressed with a light touch yet great impact through playful detours. That’s when I knew, ‘This is how I want to work!’ and ‘clear entrance’ in Hamburg was born.
I see my work as that of a catalyser and source for inspiration, geared towards long-term effectiveness and ‘helping people to help themselves’.
My services as an organisational developer and team coach focus in particular on globally operating small and medium-sized companies that are facing change and transformation processes or are stuck in them. My work begins where growth, restructuring, cultural change, new leadership requirements or conflicts are pushing existing solutions to their limits.
Clients come to me when, for example… they wish to strengthen cross-departmental and cross-site collaboration, further develop leadership skills, support teams through change processes, carry out a review of their current situation or resolve tensions. Or when they wish to introduce or have support with internal intervision, for example in care homes and clinics.
I also pass on many years of consulting and training experience at home and abroad, as well as my penchant for a creative, humorous and practical approach to seemingly hopeless situations, as a trainer and author. Together with other trainers and consultants, I have written ‘The Emerging Leader – Their Problems, Their Solutions’. And ‘A Heart for the Team’ and ‘Getting Together’ (managerSeminare) were two joint projects with Amelie Funcke (all books available only in German).
