About Me
My name is Claudia Brandt. Much of my work with my clients is about breaking the curse of muddled thinking. It can come from personal pressure to prove yourself, control, and push harder. It can be based on unclear goals, strategies, and priorities. Or teams have difficulties to truly think together. They lack trust. They cannot rely on each other and everyone thinks for themselves. It is exhausting and the big problems cannot be solved alone.
Together, we reclaim clarity, trust and humanity.
I help my clients find clarity where life or leadership have become noisy and overwhelming. I see patterns where others see confusion. With concepts and models I help you see your situation in a practical way that makes sense. You leave drama behind. You find direction that feels both grounded and real. With the adaptive thinking model, the organiation gains clarity as a whole. You feel more relaxed and resourceful as a person in your role, in your team and in your organsiation. And you come to focused actions.
As a coach, my presence is strong and gentle. I hold you with warmth, honesty, and a touch of humour — as humour can really help with the heavier stuff. That is how we transform overwhelm into clear thinking.
I am German and work in German and English.
If you’re ready to grow in a way that is both practical and deeply human, I’ll meet you there — with empathy, curiosity, and a steady hand.
My training & accreditations:
I am Systemic Leadership and Team Coach and Enneagram expert with close to two decades and many 1000s of hours of professional coaching experience. I focus on growing the capability of indiviudals, teams and organisations to think clearly. My foundation includes ORSC, Organsisational Relationship Systems Coaching, Transactional Analysis, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, mBraining (a neurological approach to thinking in all three neurological centers: head, heart and gut), Thinking Partnerships, and Systemic Constellation Work. These methods provide structure, depth and enable you to access your three centers of intelligence. But my focus always stays on what matters most — growing your awareness, your goals, and your wellbeing.
Before becoming a coach…
… I worked in the corporate world as a marketing manager, strategist, and consultant. I know the pressure, the pace, and the quiet cost of constant performance, the cost of constant change — because I’ve been there. My own journey through overwhelm, burnout, depression, and anxiety taught me the value of clear thinking with awareness. I know that clear thought needs the right environment, good quesitons and psychological safety. I have understood that for meaningful, sustainalbe effort, we - as well as our teams and organisations - need to be anchored in values and purpose. These experiences shape my coaching: practical, compassionate, and unflinchingly real.
I grew up…
… as a diplomat’s daughter and married my high school sweetheart. I have lived on 4 continents and in 7 countries. All the many different ways we conceptualise, build beliefs, live and love as human beings is what excites and fascinates me.
After having tried so many different places, I have settled wih my husband in Cape Town.
To gather and process my thoughts, I love to read, learn and paint. All the pictures on this website are my original work.
