Marc Andressen
An executive coach practising in German and English, Marc believes that a holistic view of work and life forms the basis for growth and development.
He is skilled in building high-performance teams and in facilitating and establishing cross cultural communication.
About his coaching style:
'My aim is to bridge cultural diversity in the international workforce. We enable individuals and teams to deal with irritations and incidents in a self-reflective manner rather than learning about facts and customs of specific nationalities and cultures.'
Marc has wide industrial experience and has worked in sectors such as hospitality & catering, social work and education. He has a substantial range of business skills, which he draws on in his coaching sessions.
Marc is a Member of the International Coach Federation and the European Mentoring & Coaching Council, and a Licentiate of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. He holds a German Diploma in Social Work and Social Education, an MBA in European Management and a Post Graduate qualification (Advanced Diploma) in Professional Coach-Mentoring from the OCM. He is also a certified PRinCE2 Practitioner.
