Erfa is an executive coach, former diplomat, trade negotiator, management consultant and lawyer. (She also spent a year as a stand-up comic!)
Her journey to coaching started as a search for an approach to assist when nothing else worked (the initiatives where either everything made sense and nothing moved or conversely where nothing made sense and there was no choice but to move). Since then she has unleashed insight, creativity, renewed purpose, clarity and commitment with humor and play.
Personally, she became both a refugee and a widow unexpectedly and overnight (two separate events). She knows change and has an aptitude for ambiguity and uncertainty.

I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO LIVE AT A FAST PACE
In my past 15-year successful career as a business leader, I acquired new professional skills and built a successful career in the IT industry as Software Development Engineer. I also gained experience in developing new business strategies and my own projects. I know firsthand what rush jobs, frequent business trips, and stressful deadlines are.
I have two children, and I know what it means to have enormous career demands while managing a «bad parent» syndrome.
Today I feel balanced, full of energy, and personally and business-wise fulfilled, having previously experienced chronic fatigue, burnout, poor communication with friends, and lack of “me” time.
I found my destiny, and now I am happy to share with others what I can do myself while building financial independence and stability without having to count on rich parents and start-up capital.
I helped dozens of people find inner harmony and that elusive life balance, helping them become successful Kings and Queens fully in charge of their lives who can and do give their love and attention to loved ones and to themselves.

Christian’s life changed on the 23rd of December 2016. That’s when he downloaded Kim Cameron’s “Practicing Positive Leadership” on his Kindle device: Like an epiphany, he realized what made many of his own bosses in the media industry brilliant – and what his strengths in leading others might be. And he realized what he and some of his own leaders were missing. So he set out to study Positive Leadership and Positive Psychology wherever he could. With Robert Biswas-Diener, with Judith Mangelsdorf, with Christian van Niewerborgh, etc. So meanwhile, he may consider himself as one of the leading figures in the German-speaking world spreading the science and theory of positive Psychology into the world of business and leadership.
