About Struss & Claussen

Every person has the right to a fulfilled life. To realize oneself and also to encourage others to do so is for me less a wish than a claim. With my work I help individuals, families and companies to achieve this right. I support them in following their inner voice, in recognizing and valuing potentials in order to use them strategically and wisely in the context of performance. My goal is for clients to develop personally, face new challenges courageously and grow with joy.

Every person forms their own unique universe with their skills, potential and talent. To me, exploring this universe and recognizing it in all its diversity means creating opportunities: opportunities so that strengths can be developed and success and fulfillment can be attained.

My goal is to give my clients a clear and positive view of their own strengths and abilities and to encourage them to use them. When this succeeds, a sense of professional and personal fulfillment sets in all by itself. Or as Harvey Mackay says: 'Find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life'.

Through my work and encounters with different life stories, I am convinced that every person has individual strengths and resources, special gifts and talents. Especially for young people, the challenge is great to discover their own professional path and to dare to take the steps to realize it. For experienced professionals, it is often a matter of courage and a clear view of one's own strengths and individual motives in life. I would like to help recognize potential and convey that work is fun when it is lived and developed further.

Every day, I get to experience first-hand how fulfilling it is to do a job that matches my personality. Being able to work in such a way that individual talents develop into strengths doesn't feel like "work" in the conventional sense - it creates meaning and ensures greater productivity. Achieving precisely this effect with my clients motivates me to recognize potential and design appropriate plans for next steps.

’The life we want to lead is something we can choose. So let’s write stories that we can tell later.’ These are the words of Julia Engelmann in her poem ‘One Day’. To be able to do this, you need to know yourself. A consultation at Struss & Claussen offers you a great opportunity to discover unknown skills and to use this knowledge to make conscious decisions about your work and personal life.

Every person's personality is so rich and full of potential. Nevertheless, essential strengths, talents and inclinations often remain in the background or even undiscovered. Those who authentically know and accept themselves not only have the chance for a great professional perspective, but also for a fulfilled life. My goal is to support you in recognizing your strengths and talents and to find ways to use them to come into your full power on your personal career and life path - unbiased, benevolent and truthful!

Finding the right and truly fulfilling path to a professional future is not easy: personal expectations, traditional ideals and societal pressures make the decision difficult in a world full of opportunities. From my own experience, I know that it is crucial to look inward: What do I really need? What am I capable of? How do I think and feel? What is good for me? As a career counselor, I want to answer these questions together with my clients so that they can go through their professional lives happy and satisfied in the long term.

The profession is an important area of life whose relevant development neither starts nor ends with formal education. Native strengths that have carried us through life since childhood are just as important as personal interests, values and talents. If we are able to recognize these and bring them to bear in the search for a suitable profession, we are not just reacting to 'the' world, but are acting freely in 'our' world. We become the creators of our life reality and the profession becomes not only part of life, but part of our identity. This is the path I would like to take my clients on in counseling.

Only the person who truly knows themselves can be successful in the long-term! I see my role as laying a foundation for our clients, on which they can build their future – a future, which matches their personality. I don’t so much lean on convention, but focus on individual talents, and what opportunities I see emerging.

‘Which path is the right one for me?’ Schoolchildren today are confronted with such a wide range of courses and professional opportunities that it is not easy to decide on your own path. I want to support my clients to make their choice confident and courageous, joyful and motivated. Together we work out your strengths, potential and talents in order to enable both personal and professional fulfillment on this basis.

Every person has a vocation in which they can be themselves and authentically express their strengths and talents. That's why I want to support our clients in looking to the future with courage and curiosity. My goal is to find out together with them what possibilities and opportunities lie in their personal development and what the next steps can look like in concrete terms.

I am fascinated by how people can shine when they pursue a task that fully matches their needs, competencies and talents. We pursue this goal with our consulting by trying to understand the personality of our clients from the inside out, in order to then harmonize the inside with the outside and derive suitable courses of study and professions. Helping people find the right environment and the right subjects for themselves is the most meaningful task I can imagine.

Due to the variety of options, it is not always easy to make decisions and listen to your own inner voice. That is exactly why I am happy to accompany you in this exciting phase of choosing an education and career. It is my concern that you meet this new world detached from expectations and demands, motivated and inwardly strengthened. Together we will work out your needs and abilities and find ways that will enable you to make a confident and individually appropriate decision.

Making your first big career decision is challenging - there are so many possibilities and you don't know yourself well enough yet to be able to say decisively: "This is the right path for me!" A few years ago, I sat in the consulting chair at Struss & Claussen and found the course of study that filled me with enthusiasm. Awakening this enthusiasm in my clients is what motivates me. My goal is to show them clear perspectives that really match their individual talents, motives and values so that they can confidently take the next steps towards their future.

Living authentically and contentedly means knowing one's own potential and always looking for ways in which it can unfold appropriately in every phase of life. I accompany my clients in this process. I support them in finding their calling and sustainably strengthen them in their goals.

When I was faced with the decision, I went through all 400 pages of a study guide without exception, comparing subjects, content and forms of study, ruling out, circling, applying. Today, I would proceed differently: Starting not with the possibilities, but with oneself, ensures a reliable inner advisor and the best prospects of taking a suitable path. Our consulting supports exactly this process, discovers existing resources and links them to optimal development opportunities. First the person, then the possibilities.

Undecided due to the abundance of study and career options, I tried out different things without being sure what really suited my character and strengths. The consultation at Struss & Claussen gave me clarity. Now, as part of the team, I am looking forward to helping other people successfully navigate the often difficult and confusing search for the right career path, and to recognizing and developing their potential.

Each and every one of us has unique talents. I want to help you create an awareness of what your strengths are, so that you can develop and use these wisely. Working closely together, we will develop your vision of a future which you will find inspiring and motivating.

Eine Berufsberatung nach dem Abitur oder zwischen Bachelor und Master hätte meine berufliche Entwicklung im Hinblick auf meine Talente und Stärken zielführend beschleunigt. Dies kann ich rückblickend sicher sagen. Durch meine Teilnahme am ersten Online-Coaching-Kurs „Inner Voice, Inner Choice“ (kurz IVIC) hat dieser Beschleunigungsprozess begonnen. Ich freue mich, mein Können bei Struss und Claussen Personal Development einbringen und weiterentwickeln zu dürfen, um möglichst vielen Menschen den Zugang zu unseren qualitativ hochwertigen Coaching-Dienstleistungen für ihre persönliche Weiterentwicklung zu ermöglichen. Frei nach dem Schriftsteller Jack London: "The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."

Wer bin ich, was erfüllt mich und wo gehöre ich hin? All diese Fragen habe ich mir nach meinem Abitur gestellt und schließlich bei Struss & Claussen meine Antworten gefunden. Seitdem habe ich klare Ziele vor Augen, die mich jeden Tag motivieren und mich auf meinem weiteren Weg bestärken. Bei meiner Arbeit möchte ich unsere Klient*innen dabei unterstützen, sich selbst besser kennenzulernen und den Mut zu finden, das zu tun, was sich im Innen gut anfühlt. Besonders freut es mich, dass wir durch das Angebot von verschiedenen Formaten die Möglichkeit geschaffen haben, Karriereberatung in jeden Alltag integrieren zu können.

Education is a key determining factor in the life of every single human being. The breadth of possibility is also a tremendous challenge. Finding out what we are able to do, and where we would like to go, will help to overcome this challenge. When I was younger, I also didn’t find it easy to decide on the right course of study, and the right job. It is all the more fantastic and invaluable to have found the right job, and to have lots of fun doing it!

In my own professional journey, I have always tried to listen to my inner voice and trust my intuition. This also includes making unconventional decisions now and then and enduring uncertainties. This path has finally led me here: to a job where I can live out my strengths and learn something new every day, both professionally and personally.

Jeder Mensch sollte die Möglichkeit haben, sich Fragen zur Persönlichkeitsentwicklung, zu innerem Wachstum und zur eigenen Karriere zu stellen – ganz unabhängig von Herkunft oder Bildung. Als Schülerin hätte ich mir eine Beratung wie bei S&C aus tiefstem Herzen gewünscht, denn nach dem Abitur habe ich mich völlig verloren gefühlt. Heute kann ich als Redakteurin und Projektmanagerin dazu beitragen, allen Menschen Zugang zu diesen wichtigen Themen rund um Persönlichkeits- und Karriereentwicklung zu verschaffen. Diese Arbeit inspiriert mich jeden Tag aufs Neue.

"Wir werden geformt und gestaltet durch das, was wir lieben." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Was passt zu mir, was macht mich aus, was glücklich und wohin möchte ich? Diese Fragen habe ich mir lange Zeit gestellt. Auf der Suche nach der einen Antwort durfte ich merken, dass Dinge, für die ich eine tiefe Zuneigung oder Begeisterung empfinde, einen ausschlaggebenden Einfluss auf meine Persönlichkeit, Entscheidungen und Lebensweg haben. Meine Überzeugung, dass unsere Leidenschaften uns formen, vereine ich mit meinem Interesse für Social Media und Marketing. Bei Struss und Claussen bieten diese Bereiche einzigartige Möglichkeiten, Menschen auf persönlicher Ebene zu erreichen, zu inspirieren und zu ermutigen, ihre Stimme zu finden und vertrauensvoll ihren eigenen Weg zu gehen.

Every day our consultants help people find their direction and the right path for their professional future. Aristotle once said, 'We can’t change the direction of the wind, but we can adjust our sails'. As part of the team, I enjoy accompanying our clients on a leg of this journey – from the very first phone call through to the day of their consultation.

"It doesn't matter where you are today, what matters is the direction you take." - This quote from Canadian-American motivational speaker Brian Tracy describes the "Struss&Claussen feeling" for me: Being part of a team that supports its clients in pointing out possible directions at life-defining crossroads motivates me and makes me proud.

"Some create, others support. I count myself among the latter." I can identify well with this quote from Benjamin Myer's novel "Open Sea." As a trainee at Struss & Claussen, I am happy to support others in learning more about themselves.

Struss & Claussen hat mir damals als Schülerin nicht nur gezeigt, welche Ausbildungen und Studiengänge am besten zu mir passen, sondern wer ich wirklich bin, was mich ausmacht und welche meine Werte und deren Bedeutung sind. All die Informationen über mein eigenes Ich haben mir viel Mut gegeben und mein Selbstbewusstsein gestärkt. Ich freue mich sehr, nun die Möglichkeit zu haben, andere dabei zu unterstützen, sich ihrer selbst bewusst zu werden.

Wie Rainer Maria Rilke einst sagte: "Die einzige Reise ist die in unser Inneres.“ Es erfüllt mich, Menschen auf dieser Reise zu begleiten, wenn sie ihre inneren Schätze heben und ihren Weg in neuem Licht sehen. Den Raum zu schaffen, in dem sie ihr verborgenes Potenzial entfalten können, ist für mich das größte Geschenk.
