Kathrin Schmitz

Certified Trainer for Non-Violent Communication and Sociocracy

“Echt im Team” means “Being Authentic As A Team Member” as well as “Being a successful team” (in German “Echt” Has Two Meanings)

Thanks for visiting my homepage!

It is my passion to discover ways how we can truly cooperate as a team:

How can we build strong interpersonal relationships and emerge stronger from conflicts?

How can we organise and communicate in a way which enables us to develop our potential and make decisions that everyone can support?

How can leadership tasks be executed in ways that strengthen teams? And how can feedback processes be constructive and honest?

What ways have proven successful for distributing responsibility across many shoulders in teams and organisations?

How do we further develop ourselves and our resilience – in teams and as individuals?

For me, Bird Migration Stands Symbolically for Several Realizations:

... that we get much further as a team than any one of us could ever do alone

... that a regular change of position can be smart and conserve our resources

... that we can fly more easily in the slipstream of each other

... how important it is to have a common objective and destination

... that you can see the big picture more clearly from a bird's eye view

A conscious, constructive way of thinking and speaking – with others and with ourselves – will change our world.

Get in Touch, Get connected

I am constantly inspired by how powerful communication is. And by how crucial the attitude from which it arises is.

Communication serves to connect people, and language is also a way to get in touch with ourselves more consciously, to understand ourselves and others better. Our communication is therefore the key to successful collaboration in teams and organisations, in decision-making and in moderation.

My work as a trainer, consultant and facilitator for teams and organisations such as companies, housing projects, non-profit organisations, associations and networks focuses on all of these topics.

I support you to achieve and enjoy more connection, clarity, lightness, team spirit and effectiveness.

„Echt im Team“ – Some Feedback from Clients I was allowed to accompany

"A training like a piece of very good chocolate: Only a small piece... and when it develops its full flavor, you'll want to eat the whole bar!"

Dr. Daniel Kramp, Center for the education of teachers, University of Cologne

"A professor friend of mine once said to me in an aside: «Ohne Selbstorganisation gibt es keine lebendigen Systeme». With this in mind, I hope that I can attend many more of these training courses. I can recommend Kathrin Schmitz without reservation."

Christian A. Herbst, Master Coach HEB

"The online course "Emotional Intelligence in the Self-Organised Team" was a great personal enrichment for me, because the mixture of theory and practice has satisfied my need for new experiences, personal development and exchange. Many thanks again to Kathrin Schmitz for her commitment."

T.K.

"I have benefited an incredible amount from your training. It has triggered many reflections in me. Not a day goes by that I don't think of one of your valuable tips on communication"

The founder and manager of a photovoltaics company

"The trainers guided me competently through the sociocratic world. Didactically well planned and guided, we experienced sociocracy in our own projects."

Susanne Vathke | Training & Consulting | Wiesbaden

"I found it impressive how you managed to empathise with parents without having children of your own and convey the topic in a very credible way. Therefore, us participants quickly tried it out and achieved successes."

The father of a then two-year old girl

"The course with video and live session perfectly met my needs. With the help of the video, I was able to familiarise myself with the method, which was still unknown to me, in a self-organised way. The live session accompanied by the documents as well as tips and hints from the field really brought the topic to life, thanks!"
