Who is Violetta?
My relationship with the German language began as a small child living as a German minority in a country behind the iron curtain. Surrounded by émigré relatives, their cultures and their languages like German, Polish, Hungarian, and Romanian.
Before we left Poland and its (at that time) vicious political system I could only speak a couple of sentences, but it took me just around 6 months to speak German fluently.
Living my teenage years in Germany and learning the way my new German and multicultural friends and classmates spoke the language (instead of just the standard textbooks) really helped me to pick up the unique idioms and vernaculars that you don’t always pick up on the printed page.
Little did I know at the time how much of an impact this exposure to multiple languages and cultures would have on my career.
I still carry the motto “use what works and leave the rest” to this day in my personal and professional life, which has enabled me to enrich my skills as a real-world coach, trainer, and connector with an authentic, boundless curiosity for new cultures and personalities both in and out of the workplace.
With over a decade of experience as a professional development coach and trainer, I work with both expats and German employees to improve effective communication between local and global team members. I bring a multicultural perspective to my work and meet clients where they are with empathy and acceptance.
I also have a rare gift for being able to listen deeply, which inspires my clients to embrace their own exceptional talents, creating a new sense of belief in themselves and seeing all they have achieved with a fresh perspective, so they can reach further and grow to their full potential.
For example, my first job in the corporate world opened my eyes to my true passion – coaching and professional development. I was hired to train the company owner. Shortly after, he confided in me his personal challenges, and he trusted me from the start. At that moment, I knew this is what I really loved to do.
My biggest thrill is being a sounding board for my clients, and watching them grow and develop, both personally and in their work life. I love pushing them to use what they already have inside to help figure out what will truly bring satisfaction in their life and in work.
I’ve discovered over the years that when people harness and maximize their unique skills it lights a spark within the team environment. Team members become more agile and optimistic as they work off of each other’s strengths.
In my coaching, I emphasize the importance of uniting energy, professionalism, and vision to create greater impact in the workplace – because happiness is the new productivity.
