Ute Kranefeld specializes in working with those who are in transition or thinking about it. Why? “I have navigated through so many transitions in my life so far – i.e. career change, divorce, living abroad, immigrating to Canada from Germany, building my own business, personal transformation – and learned so much from it. If I knew then what I know now, the one thing I sure would have done differently is to hire a coach! Someone who would have supported me with both compassion and competence to get clarity on what I really want and need, to connect to my power and resourcefulness so I can feel confident, to move through resistance and blocks, to communicate effectively and to reach my goals so much faster and more easily!” So she is passionate about supporting others with what she missed so much during her own transitions.

Besides her own personal experience and motivation, she brings professional expertise from various fields:
• graduate of Coach for Life, San Diego, a leading ICF accredited training institute
• many years of experience as an executive and board member in the communications business, as a communications consultant for change management and as a corporate trainer and coach
• member of the International Coach Federation ICF, the leading international professional organization for coaches; she fully subscribes to their Pledge of Ethics and Standards of Conduct
• Certified NLP and Hypnosis Practitioner
• Trained in Gestalt therapy, client-centered therapy, EFT (Emotional FreedomTechniques), essence work and meditation
• Inspired Learning Facilitator
• Certified teleleader
• Master’s degree in business administration

Ute has always loved to connect with people from all over the world. She has studied, worked or just lived in Germany, Spain, the U.S. and Canada and is delighted to reach out to clients from all over the world with her services in English and German. She also intensely networks with colleagues from different countries, exchanging ideas, resources and leading edge knowledge. In 2007, she made her dream come true and immigrated from Germany to Canada, her perfect place to ground and to live her passion for beautiful nature and open space. Her hobbies and special interests also include dancing, singing, music, painting, writing, spirituality and “exploring new territories”.
