Consulting
From change programmes to implementation projects, it can be difficult to find the resource in-house to drive complex tasks whilst maintaining daily operations.
CLAARUS supports companies by driving projects such as strategy development or sales and profit growth programmes.
And, used as an experienced sounding board, I will act as your neutral advisor for all matters of business and people management.
It might also be the case that the optimum mix of critical thinking, experience and expertise cannot be found in-house. This is where I can strengthen your team when you need it, driving important, temporary projects from start to finish, while also providing a sounding board for your ideas and questions.
Coaching
I support clients to address personal challenges, work on their personal brands and become a happier, better version of themselves.
Embarking on a relationship with a coach, whether it be for professional or personal goals, can be a wonderful and life-changing experience.
With many years of experience in coaching leaders from management to board level, I can truly say that each coaching relationship is a very personal and bespoke process.
Matters addressed may revolve around achieving a personal goal, developing your personal brand, improving self-awareness, changing behaviour, addressing a conflict, improving your life quality, losing certain fears etc. - ultimately it is always about change.
We will focus on what you want to achieve and, if you wish, and where beneficial, will use hypnotherapy to deepen and accelerate changes.
Facilitation
Supporting leaders and their teams in driving change and cultural growth is something that I have been involved with for over 30 years.
Facilitation may involve helping teams to decide what results they want to achieve together and agree how they plan to achieve them in practice.
Workshops can revolve around developing or reviewing sales or marketing
strategies, product development, implementation programmes, team
building, work processes etc.
Facilitating group decision processes requires experience, thorough preparation and a good understanding of motivational approaches and processes creating clarity and agreement.
It can also be very time-hungry. By using CLAARUS to facilitate your workshops you have the choice to join the work-shop as an active participant, enabling you to focus on the content rather than the process, or to let your team to develop and agree a result on their own and to present back to you at the end of the workshop.

„To fully benefit from business coaching I need to respect and completely trust the individual I am working with, both personally and professionally (as a coach and also their performance in industry).
Maike curated an open relationship from the off, I felt comfortable to open up quickly, so we effectively and importantly efficiently were able to tackle difficult subjects from the start of our relationship. I even tried hypnotherapy, the results have been incredible!
Maike has a mega business brain, is direct and challenging whilst being empathetic and supportive. I would highly recommend her for anyone wanting to improve their business performance and their self. "
