Benefits:
Give structure and guidance in defining my purpose and my way forward (personal development)
Helped me to sharpen my view on what is important for me and where I can take energy from
Introduced me to ZF-game changer, a format to booster digitalization in ZF but as well to create a
new work throughout all divisions.
With Francesca’s open and collaborative way, she allowed me to open myself during our sessions
and experienced a total circle of trust, in which I could share all my thoughts and received valuable
feedback in a reflecting way on what and how I shared it.
Our coaching sessions increased my motivation and increased my awareness about importance to
help people develop, which changed my focus from supporting my teams to get “things done” into
guiding them to find their own ways to solve the problem.
Furthermore, I tried to use my learnings to develop individual development plans for my team
members based on their interests and motivation.

Feedback:
As stated above, Francesca created a circle of trust in which gave me a safe room to share any
thought.
Her way of asking questions, but as well listen and summarize / feedback what she heard, were
amazing, as it helped me to identify what is important for me.
We selected the right speed and sequence of meetings to let me digest and reflect on our
sessions.
My personal highlight was our f2f coaching in Hanover, and this would be my only idea for
improving, meet more frequent f2f.
