Mentoring: Experienced Backup for the Next Generation
Supporting future leaders in technical industries
Technical companies—especially in sectors like mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and industrial automation—are facing a growing challenge: attracting and retaining young management talent. Interest in leadership roles is declining, often due to the high expectations, time pressure, and lack of work-life balance that still define many leadership environments. These issues affect many, but they disproportionately impact young female professionals. Family-run businesses in particular are feeling the pressure.
To ensure long-term leadership continuity, companies need tailored development strategies that recognise individual potential and provide meaningful support. Structured mentoring and coaching programmes have proven highly effective—boosting both confidence and competence while strengthening long-term commitment to the organisation.
With decades of hands-on experience in technical and industrial environments, I offer practical, results-focused mentoring for up-and-coming managers. I support them in navigating everyday challenges, developing their own leadership style, and finding solutions that fit both their role and the company culture. On site or remote. In German or English.
