My name is Mandy Zimmermann, and I work with leaders and their teams on how they lead, make decisions and work together. What matters most to me is how the people in an organisation are doing, and that includes their mental health.
Before this, I spent many years in global operations, working with colleagues in many countries. I saw good projects stall and good people burn out because of the way they were led, even when the plan itself made sense. That experience is the reason I do this work today. I live on Fuerteventura and work with clients remotely as well as here on the island.
I coach individual leaders on the things they find hard in their role, such as making decisions, giving feedback and dealing with conflict.
When a team is stuck, I start with a diagnostic to understand what is going on. We look at the results together in a workshop, and afterwards I accompany the team for several months while they work on what came up.
I design and run programmes for groups of leaders. Some of them take place here on Fuerteventura, where we combine coaching with time outside in nature, including coaching walks.
I work with senior leaders as an advisor on leadership development and executive coaching, and on how leaders work together across functions and cultures.
I am an associate of Beruf und Gesundheit e.V., a network of specialists in Germany who support companies and individuals with health, coaching and HR questions. My part in the network is healthy leadership, meaning the mental health of leaders themselves and the effect their leadership has on the health of their people. This includes burnout prevention, psychological safety, stress management, conflict and leading through change.
