Hello, I’m Katrin!
I have always been fascinated by people and the environments in which they work. Understanding what makes individuals thrive professionally and contribute meaningfully has been at the heart of my career for years.
But it’s also personal. There have been times when my traits made it difficult for me to deal with work demands and challenges. I had to adjust, change my behaviour, and actively build resilience, gaining new knowledge and skills along the way. That journey has shaped both my expertise and my approach to helping others.
With experience across different organisations and roles, I have helped professionals optimise performance, build resilience, and navigate career transitions. As a manager, I have guided individuals toward success, but I’ve also faced difficult moments that forced me to reassess my values, leadership style, and professional presence.
These experiences reinforced my belief that sustainable high performance isn’t just about technical skills. It’s about emotional resilience, strategic adaptation, and creating work environments that empower us to do our best.
Today, my passion sits at the intersection of strategic execution and human performance, helping knowledge workers actively shape the direction of their work, the way they perceive themselves and their careers Through WorkMentor, I bring together evidence-based self-regulation tools, psychological expertise, and hands-on coaching to help people stay sharp, resilient, and genuinely well under real workplace pressure.
My educational background is in psychology (BA; including microdegrees in performance and sports psychology, career counselling), behavioural science (MA), and strategic management (MBA). I’m a certified coach and mentor (EMCC) and an accredited facilitator (AoF).
If you’re looking for personalised, research-backed guidance on strategies for dealing with work-related situations, you’re in the right place, and I’m so excited to work with you.
Let’s connect and shape the future of work together.

“Katrin and I had only been working together for a few weeks when I could feel and see the first big change – I had become calmer. Now, 5 months later, I’m like a completely different person – I'm calmer and I know which tools to use subconsciously to find the best solution. I know what tools work for me to stay calm and be the best leader for my team.”

“Our collaboration has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of industry best practices, develop strategic thinking, and enhance my problem-solving skills. Katrin has kept me focused on the goals I want to achieve in my role, helped me cope with challenges, and made the most of these learnings. Perhaps most importantly, she has helped me maintain a suitable headspace, which enables me to perform to the best of my ability.”

“For a long time, I felt confused and dissatisfied. I wanted changes in both my work and personal life, but I was hesitant to take steps towards them. I doubted my abilities and was unaware of various possibilities. After sessions with Katrin, I have a structured work tool / development plan, and working with it helps me progress toward my set goals. I have clarity about my objectives and the courage to move towards them. Katrin is always there for me in case I need additional support and advice.”
