Fabian started his coaching journey with Erickson Coaching International in 2016. After studying how states and nations behave and then helping companies and organizations function at their best for five years, Fabian is convinced that empowering human beings to thrive is what makes the biggest difference. Coaching and training allow him to do that.

As a management consultant, Fabian worked in the areas of Human Resources & Talent Management, Change Management, Strategy, Project Management and Stakeholder Management with projects involving focus areas such as workforce analytics, learning/ training design effectiveness, employee engagement and retention, organizational design and knowledge management.

Fabian is guided by his core values of authenticity, courage and abundance. He is passionate, intentional, curious, efficient, results-driven, empathetic and, whenever appropriate, deeply vulnerable.

One of the most rewarding aspects of his coaching career so far has been successfully coaching (mostly female) team leaders working in the field (i.e. Afghanistan, Mali, etc.) for agencies in the United Nations System. Fabian has also been honored to facilitate workshops and retreats for the United Nations Secretariat in Nairobi (UNON) and for the German Mission to Kenya, Somalia and the Seychelles/ Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany Nairobi.
