People Dimensions as Drivers of Success
in Transformations: Leadership, Organization, and Collaboration

Leadership. Organization. Teams.

Three levers, one goal: sustainable impact.

Complexity is on the rise. So are expectations. Leaders are expected to deliver results and drive transformation at the same time—often with little support.

I help make exactly that possible: As a Leadership Sidekick, I support leaders and organizations that aren’t waiting for ready-made answers, but are seeking true clarity. Through facilitation, consulting, and coaching—combined in whatever way the situation calls for.

Whether it’s a leadership journey, team development, or organizational design: it’s all about the shift from reactive firefighting to proactive future-building.

"My aim is not only to get organizations to perform better, but also to enable them to keep and extend the new flight altitude on their own."

Customer testimonials

"Annett ... accompanied my team and me as a manager during an organizational restructuring phase at Airbus. ... Thanks to Annett ... we implemented the new purchasing strategy in a very short time. Her strengths include clear lines, pragmatic approaches and the right mix of empathy and assertiveness. The whole team benefited greatly from her professional management of the respective phases. I was particularly impressed by the focus on sustainable solutions. ..."

Thomas Wojciechowski, Head of Sourcing Operations in Airbus Customer Service Procurement, Airbus

"Working with Annett was perfect from start to finish! Super friendly, customer-oriented and always perfectly organized. She has exactly the right feeling for which training and which content is really relevant, even with - in our case - a very "spongy" briefing. The training was just right for our team and was a lot of fun. Annett will be our first port of call again for the next "Aufschlauen". "

Janine Holtz, Brand & Start-up Manager, Orthomol

"Annett facilitated multiple workshops for our team. The topics ranged from Strategy, Leadership Commitments to larger formats with more than 40 colleagues from our affiliates. She did an excellent job in the preparation, facilitation, as well as in the follow-up. I especially appreciate her creative ideas and support in conceptualizing workshops. Also I strongly value her profound skills and experience in leading groups to the anticipated outcome. I can highly recommend Annett as it is an absolute pleasure to work with her."

Annika Busse, Deputy CIO, Hamburg Senate Chancellery

"For a good 2.5 years ... (Annett) ... actively supported us as a consultant and strategist ... in driving forward data-driven communication at L'Oréal Germany. I got to know Annett as professionally experienced, competent and eloquent. She helps with her professional, practice-oriented view from the outside and gets to the heart of complicated issues. On a personal level, too, the collaboration was always pleasant and I particularly appreciate her approachable, empathetic and creative manner."

Peter Grebarsche, Director E-Commerce & CRM, L'Oréal

"The first hybrid workshop (with face-to-face and digital participants) in Corona times was a complete success. Annett Fibian guided us through the day in an efficient, friendly and successful way using digital tools. Highly professional conception, preparation, implementation and follow-up. Top in cooperation and presence on site. Gladly again at any time. Thank you very much!"

Matthias Kappeler, Marketing Director, Kaffee Partner

"With Annett as our travel companion, we have set out to design our learning and qualification programs in such a way that we can shape the future together with our employees. Annett helped us to set the important priorities and keep track of the jungle of future trends. Thank you and always happy to help!"

Carola Aldag, Head of HR Development, HHLA

"Thanks to Annett Fibian, we were able to develop a digitalization strategy tailored to our needs in a very short time. She combined the right mix of analysis, impulses and recommendations into a pragmatic guideline. A great result."

Timo Friedrich, Managing Director, BrueggemannAlcohol Heilbronn

"Working with Annett Fibian: Especially with new structures, team building, role understanding and changed requirement profiles, her professional view 'from the outside' helps a lot - paired with good clear didactics and very pleasant mediation skills. Thank you :)"

Chris Höfner, Management Board / Business Development, Friends of the House

"The response (to the brand ambassador training) was and is extremely positive! With the content, the ideas for implementation and the way in which they were conveyed, we really did put together a very special training course. How fortunate we were that you were able to support us so tremendously! We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your creative ideas, the great organization, your high flexibility and simply the great cooperation. It was really fun and we also learned an incredible amount ourselves!"

Anja Bösch, HR Manager, Beiersdorf
