Wer wir sind
Andrea Birte Schüller
„Nach über 30 Jahren liebe ich das, was ich tue, nicht immer noch, sondern noch mehr.“
Ursprünglich als Organisationspsychologin ausgebildet, konzentriere ich mich seit über 30 Jahren auf eine Sache: Einzelpersonen, Teams und Organisationen dabei zu unterstützen, ihr Potential zu entwickeln und es sowohl effektiv als auch aus Überzeugung und mit Spaß umzusetzen. Ich kann mir kaum eine berufliche Aufgabe vorstellen, die spannender, abwechslungsreicher und erfüllender wäre.
Den Großteil meiner Zeit verbringe ich damit, bedarfsgerechte Führungstrainings zu entwickeln und zu leiten. Sie wenden sich an Führungskräfte und High Potentials internationaler Unternehmen und Professional Service Firms, NGOs und akademischer Einrichtungen, die auf weiterreichende Führungsaufgaben vorbereitet werden.
Ich habe als Beraterin für Firmen angefangen, die große Transformationen durchliefen. Sei es, weil sie ihre Verkaufsstrategie grundlegend verändert haben, sei es, weil sie durch große Restrukturierungen gingen oder nach einer Firmenübernahme zusammenzuwachsen versuchten. In dieser Rolle wurde mir klar, was Führungskräfte tun müssen, um anderen zu ermöglichen, bestmöglich zu reagieren und zu agieren: Es geht darum, deren Selbstwirksamkeit und Gestaltungswillen zu fördern und dafür zu sorgen, dass sie die Gründe, die das Unternehmen zu diesen Veränderungen veranlassen, wirklich verstehen. Nur dann können sie bewusst entscheiden, ob und wie sie ihre Fähigkeiten und ihr Potential zu genau diesem Zweck einsetzen wollen.
20 Jahre nach meinem deutschen Diplom in Psychologie habe ich bei der Business School in England, für die ich jahrelang als Dozentin und Client Director gearbeitet habe, noch einen MSc in Coaching and Behavioural Change abgeschlossen. In meiner zweiten Masterarbeit habe ich mich mit der der Frage auseinandergesetzt, wie man zwischen Führungskräften, die eigentlich alle um die wenigen Top Jobs konkurrieren, eine so robuste psychologische Sicherheit schaffen kann, dass sie sich ernsthaft und engagiert kollegial beraten. Meine Diplomarbeit war dagegen eine vergleichende Studie zur Wirksamkeit verschiedener Lehrkonzepte zum Thema Selbstmotivation. Schon damals war klar: Nichts wird so schnell vergessen, wie das Vorgetragene, nichts wird so nachhaltig in positiv wahrgenommenes Verhalten umgesetzt, wie die Arbeit an konkreten, eigenen Fallbeispielen. Als Coach bin ich durch APECS (Association for Professional Executive Coaching and Supervision) akkreditiert, was ständige Fortbildung voraussetzt. Ab 2022 mache ich deshalb eine zusätzliche Ausbildung zur Logotherapeutin. Diese Therapieschule baut auf der Lehre des Neurologen Victor Frankl auf und wird mir helfen, meinen Kunden auch in den großen Sinnfragen und -krisen kompetent zur Seite zu stehen.
Ich bin in Japan und Pakistan aufgewachsen und hatte das Glück, als junge Erwachsene viele glückliche Jahre in England leben, arbeiten und dort meine Familie gründen zu dürfen. Internationales Arbeiten ist mir eine Herzensangelegenheit. Ich lebe in der Nähe von München, arbeite aber mit Lernwilligen aus der ganzen Welt und daher primär auf Englisch. Europa, Asien (insbesondere Indien und China), sowie Amerika sind die Orte, an denen ich regelmäßig Seminare durchführe.
Ich lebe in einem kleinen Dorf und verbringe meine Freizeit mit Reisen, dem Ankauf von Büchern und dem Versuch, irgendwo noch Regalplatz für sie zu finden, sowie damit, junge Sozialunternehmer bei den typischen Kinderkrankheiten eines solchen Unterfangens als Mentorin zu unterstützen. Mehr als alles andere aber bin ich unfassbar gern Mutter meiner großartigen, erwachsenen Tochter.

„Fantastischen Leuten helfen, zu wachsen – was für ein Job!“
Ich begann meine berufliche Laufbahn in der Marketing- und Strategieberatung, und habe die letzten 20 Jahre damit verbracht, mit Führungskräften zu arbeiten.
Der Großteil meiner Arbeit besteht darin, maßgeschneiderte Programme zur Entwicklung von Führungskräften für internationale Kunden zu entwerfen, durchzuführen und zu verbessern sowie mit einzelnen Führungskräften im Rahmen von Coachings zu arbeiten. Ich genieße es, in Echtzeit mit anderen zu interagieren und die Energie und den Raum zu schaffen, den Gruppen und Einzelpersonen für ihr Lernen brauchen.
Ursprünglich war ich im Marketing, Produktmanagement und als Assistentin des CMO eines großen Konsumgüterkonzerns und als Strategieberaterin tätig. Ich habe einen MBA von INSEAD und einen BA in European Business. Diese Wurzeln im internationalen Business und strategischen Denken bilden auch heute die Grundlage meiner Praxis. Außerdem bin ich zertifizierter systemischer Business Coach, akkreditiert beim DVCT – Deutscher Verband für Coaching und Training. Ich verfüge über eine Vielzahl von Zertifizierungen, u.a. Crucial Conversations von Vital Smarts, Tools of Engagement von der Pro Group, „ZRM®“-Trainer (Zürcher Ressourcen Modell) von ISMZ, MBTI Step1 und Step2 und Science of Happiness at Work vom I-opener Institute und entwickle mich durch eine breite und vielseitige Mischung von Ausbildungen und Zertifizierungen weiter.
Meine Leidenschaft ist es, den Wandel unserer Gesellschaft hin zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit zu unterstützen, die Klimakrise zu bekämpfen und einen Beitrag zur Dekarbonisierung unserer Welt zu leisten. Ich will dazu beitragen meinen künftigen Enkelkindern einen gesunden, funktionierenden Planeten zu hinterlassen. Ich spreche also immer gerne über Nachhaltigkeit und bin fest davon überzeugt, dass alle Führungskräfte dieses Jahrzehnts weit über die nächste Bilanz hinausdenken müssen. Führen war schon immer eine komplexe Aufgabe und sie wird zunehmend komplexer. Ich helfe als Sparringspartner meiner Kunden diese Komplexität zu managen und auch der Verantwortung für künftige Generationen gerecht zu werden.
Ich habe in Portugal, Frankreich, Großbritannien, Deutschland und den USA gelebt und gearbeitet und arbeite auch heute sehr gerne international. Ich bin verheiratet – mit dem besten Ehemann von allen. Gemeinsam lebten wir über viele Jahre hinweg ein immer wieder hektisches Zwei-Karrieren Model mit drei Kindern. Das hieß immer wieder viele Absprachen, viel Teamwork, viel Lachen und ein gutes Maß an kreativem Chaos. Heute ist das Nest leer und wir sind stolze Eltern von drei unabhängigen wunderbaren jungen Leuten.

Laura Tovey
I have twenty-five years experience in leadership, performance and organisation development. I have held global and European positions in large internationals and have worked in Europe, the US and Asia.
My works includes: the design and delivery of leadership development programmes; assessment and development of the top 100-300 leaders in an organisation, to support them in delivering new business strategies; and coaching leaders from a diverse range of international businesses. I have a particular interest in the link between our thinking patterns and beliefs, and how these increase or limit our choices in business and life and relate to our non-verbal communication, which in turn influences our clients and colleagues. I consider it a privilege to work with very talented people, and find a joy in seeing them further develop and increase their performance.
I hold an MBA (with distinction) from the City University Business School, and a dual honours degree in Marketing and German. I am accredited as a Full Member (advanced level) of the Worldwide Association of Business Coaches. I am a Master Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming, and am qualified in a range of psychometrics tools. I have trained with the world’s foremost expert in Non-Verbal Intelligence and am certified by the University of Pennsylvania in Resilience skills training.
I live near London, with my husband and son. I enjoy walking, the outdoors, reading, travel, and caring for my leopard geckos.
Petra Aubry
I always wanted to work with people and see the world. Where best to do this? For me it was in the hotel business, working in Germany, England, Switzerland and on a cruise liner. What a great experience this was! After several years in various five Star Hotels, I joined the sales and marketing team of Disneyland Paris, based in Germany, which turned out to be an intensive learning journey in how to get different cultures working together, being part of a global team, working for an US company that had just opened in France. After celebrating the 5th anniversary of Disneyland Paris I moved on to the Irish Tourist Board and until today still feel very close to Ireland and the Irish people.
During my time promoting Germany in the German Tourist Board Paris, I was not only able to fully experience the French “savoir vivre”, but it was also the perfect opportunity to get my French finally to the level, that I had always wanted it to be. For the last ten years I have been working for a premium German car manufacturer, training our global staff and partners in how to best deliver outstanding customer orientation and how to represent a premium brand. Working in the automobile industry is a fascinating indeed in these fast changing days.
The bulk of my work today is continuously enhancing the global in-house training and development programmes, training trainers and delivering trainings myself.
Beyond this, I am also an accredited Business Coach and certified trainer (Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Germany).
I thrive on real time interaction with others, creating the platform of trust that groups and individuals need to learn. I strongly subscribe to a solution focused approach. The starting point being the intended positive outcome, I see this as vital in times where change and cross functional work are buzzwords and where the day-to-day impact of new ways of working stress many people and keep them from engaging with all their energy and potential. Joining the Toguna Leadership team gives me the opportunity to work with a group of great people, sharing the same values, with whom I can focus on enabling teams and their leaders to address the issues of the future, focussing on solutions and making the most of their existing strengths and resources.
My French husband and I are proud parents of two teenage kids, with Munich being our home base.
