Client Success Stories

“Before working with Regina, I was often moving fast and carrying a lot, with little space to pause or recalibrate. Regina has an exceptional ability to combine strong theory with a highly practical, applied approach – every session left me feeling energized, clear, and with insights I could immediately put into action, which I deeply appreciate as a scientist. As a result, I now lead and make decisions with greater ease, confidence, and stronger boundaries, in a way that feels sustainable and truly aligned. She's a gem!”

Prof. Dr. Simone Schürle Finke | Principal Investigator Medical Microsystems Lab at ETH Zürich

“I took coaching sessions with Regina to deal more confidently with difficult leadership situations. Regina takes a holistic approach and coaches 'the whole person' which I increasingly appreciated. I always left my sessions with a new sense of confidence and clarity, and new ideas to act in line with my values. Regina helped me discover new perspectives of looking at problems. She knows about the workings of academia, but the situations we discussed could occur in other leadership settings as well. I appreciated her sharp analytical skills and enjoyed her energy and encouragement."

Prof. Dr. Anja Leist | Full Professor in Public Health and Ageing at University of Luxembourg

“When I started coaching, my challenge was to establish a new department from scratch in a global business environment. The scope and scale of the task was challenging. Regina supported me to choose how I wanted to be at work and outside of work. She brings a powerful presence to her coaching which allowed me to explore, discover, test and build my capability to show up fully as a leader in my organisation. I’m confident to create the impact I want to have throughout my organisation, and I now consciously base my choices on what resonates with my values, and my life purpose.

My career has taken some amazing and surprising steps forward thanks to the coaching sessions.
It took time and hard work to get to an outlook of “everything is possible”, but the results are palpable. I’m so thankful that I did it!
I would recommend working with Regina with anyone who does not want to play small.”

Richard Cannane | Global Training & Development Manager at Trafigura

"Sustainable coaching results that continue to pay off years later. I worked with Regina Vogel in the summer of 2023. Now, looking back almost three years later, I am actually stunned by how often I still rely on the insights I gained during our sessions. To be honest, I didn't expect the effects of the coaching to be this long-lasting, but the transformation has been profound. Initially, Regina helped me address private challenges, teaching me methods like "tapping" for acute emotional stress and helping me understand that it's possible to grieve for living loved ones. However, the biggest breakthrough has been a complete shift in how I reflect on stress. I am now much more proficient at identifying the exact stressor in a situation, which allows me to find a suitable mitigation strategy immediately. This skill has proven invaluable not just personally, but professionally. Over the past few years, I have faced significant pressure at work, and I've been able to successfully apply the strategies Regina taught me for my private life directly to my professional environment. If you want a coach who helps you see yourself clearly and provides tools that work for the long haul, I highly recommend Regina."

Ruth Schlifke | Analytical Project Leader at F. Hoffmann-La Roche

When I came to coaching, I was stuck as I was facing important career decisions and not sure about what’s next for me. I felt ambivalent, and through our work together, I gained a better understanding of the different parts in me that were in conflict about my decisions. I gained workable insights on how to use these parts for the better.
More than anything, I now see a leadership future that is aligned with my calling and feels natural.
Our coaching was insightful and thought-provoking. It highlighted some of my core characteristics, and how I can better use them to move forward. It felt personal and unique, so I was able to trust the process.
I would totally recommend Regina as a coach. She brought first-hand experience and a broad range of knowledge and techniques to the sessions. She is a great listener and asks very insightful questions. Most of all, our sessions were helpful and positive and always improved my mood.

Dr. Michael Tanner | Post Doctoral Research Associate and Environmental Economist at University of Hamburg | Co-Founder at EquiEcon GbR

"I worked with Regina for 12 months from 2022-23. At the start of our partnership i was lacking direction in my current role, and probably had limiting beliefs about my ability. As a result of the coaching, i was able to build a clear path to my next role, and i had much greater confidence that i would be success in the position. Regina used a wide variety of coaching tools and techniques to help me get there, would highly recommend!"

Will Chamberlain | Director, Sales Development at Databricks

"I have never felt more comfortable in my skin. The work we did together helped me build my confidence in taking a new step in my career. I am now not only ready for new responsibilities, but I am excited to face them! Before working with Regina everything was cloudy, but now I know exactly where to go and how to get there. Regina is an edgy, curious coach who was 100% present during our sessions. I found someone who was intelligent and not afraid of being straight forward with me, especially during hard times.One of the benefits of our working together is that I’m so much more focused on who I am not only as a professional, but also as a human being with a mission in this world. I am more aware now of the importance of being curious and hungry to learn new things. I highly recommend Regina to friends or colleagues doing coaching for business or career purposes, or anyone who is ready to take the next step in their life."

Renata Viana  |  HR Specialist at Lechler Spa Italy

“My goal in coaching was to increase my efficiency in communicating. Since the first coaching session, I have developed a strategy to identify the right level of complexity in the information I share with others. Having worked on my skills to read the emotions of my conversation partners, I am now better able to create re-alignment, when frustration is caused by different values, approaches, or too much information.

I highly recommend coaching with Regina, because she has the talent to arouse emotions and to initiate personal change, whilst never putting me under pressure, but always supporting me in my own decisions.

My efficiency as a leader and my awareness that it’s about energy, not time management have increased.

Flexibility and patience pay back.”

Maximilian Kofler | Head Planning Anti Infectives at Novartis

"This was the most effective coaching I've experienced. I pushed boundaries and challenged conceptions about what I could and couldn't do - it's been a real journey of self-development that I found both enjoyable and extremely clarifying.

When I started, I was struggling with workload overwhelm, and work-related fatigue. Through our work together, I challenged my preconceived ideas about others' expectations of me and my own expectations of myself. I've developed a new way of working and a new way of 'being' at work. I now challenge my thought patterns more actively and I'm much better at examining why I get overwhelmed. Crucially, I've learned to ask others for help and thus allow them opportunities to grow.

I now feel more confident in delegating, and am more positive about approaching difficult periods. Beyond the leadership skills, I've rediscovered self-reflection and care, and the importance of creating mental health resilience buffers for tough times.

This coaching has been the most beneficial experience for me and has helped me grow both personally and professionally. I highly recommend Regina - the coaching allowed me to grow at a very fast rate that was personal to me."

Fergus Seoighe | Principal at Scoil Phádraig, Mayo

“As a healthcare worker in the middle of fighting what was our professional “war” of Covid-19, coaching offered me the time, space and professional guidance to both identify and connect with what is authentic and purposeful to me. 

Tapping into and knowing what my vision is now, helps guide my choices but also anchors me now in these uncertain times. Because now I am more certain. Regina’s professional expertise, kindness of spirit and witty sense of humour made this so enjoyable and worthwhile.

I recommend coaching with Regina because there comes a time when your dreams and aspirations deserve attention. By giving them attention, you become closer and closer to realising them. Such an exciting process and prospective!”

Sarah Slattery, Physiotherapist at Cork University Hospital

“Thanks to our work together, I gained clarity about my strengths and how to use them to reach my full potential. The coaching sessions with Regina helped me to visualize what I truly want to achieve, to translate that into relevant goals, and to define concrete actions for practically achieving them. Our conversations were truly interactive and tailored to my needs, from day one. I now have a sense of progression towards my goals.

I highly recommend working with Regina to anyone who wants to address their needs and reach their full leadership potential.”

Victor Adafinoaiei | Senior Manager Internal Audit at Novartis

"My vision is to foster connection in the world, working with people and organisations who dare engage with both heart and mind. Regina has been unwaveringly holding space on my way to make that happen. I am more aware of what is unique about me and what gifts I have to share. Her appreciation and believe in my resources have been helping me to raise to heights I did not imagine before. In difficult situations I can now embody strength and courage, vulnerability and gentleness and therefore stay more committed and engaged, riding the waves of challenges. I would recommend Regina to anyone who needs a lift to rock their journey to fulfillment and purpose in their life!"

Hie-suk Yang  |  Co-Diver at The Dive Germany 

“As a leader I have to deal with complex situations that require sensitivity. I was facing a lot of change, with a big structural change in my group, new opportunities, new doubts, and new managers. Regina is an insightful coach and fantastic listener who consistently encouraged me to discover my own answers to problems, challenges and opportunities, and to explore my leadership style. My ability to really listen to others’ feedback has grown, which allows me to be more creative and less reactive in my planning. I now feel able to transform my intentions into goals, face big challenges, and create new opportunities. I am leaving the coaching with a strengthened believe that for any change/challenge there is a solution.”

Alessandro Matano | Expert Biostatistician at Novartis

“When I started coaching with Regina, I was lost and did not know what I wanted in life. I was missing a bigger goal or vision. I left our coaching with a clear understanding of what my inner compass feels like. Regina helped me connect the dots and to look at my life from different perspectives. With her questions she guides, opens up and leads to self-reflection and clarity. She keeps the big picture when it gets messy and didn’t lose the red thread when we dug deep.

Her depth of experience, knowledge, methods and tools are incredibly inspiring, helpful and guiding.

I also learned so much about my expressive side and how powerful it is when trying to let something out. And I learned a lot about my need to control, where it comes from, what I am really scared of and that it’s worth learning to trust rather than to try and control even more.”

Anika Jessen | Manager Corporate Strategy and Internal Communication at MetaDesign

"I have gained multiple life-changing insights into myself and been awoken to the tools available to me within to better myself and reach my full potential.

I have clarity in what I want, what I need to achieve that and the steps that will take me to achieve that. Regina doesn't just help you work through your problems, she helps you open doors into another world, allowing you to see things within you that you didn't realize were holding you back. Those realizations hit you like a brick round the head, in a good way, waking you up to things you can address and allowing you to break free of previous shackles.

I recommend Regina's services to friends who seem to feel restricted in their life and have a desire to progress, whatever aspect of their life that might be within."

James Robert Stephenson  |  Director at CarbonCube Design

"As a social entrepreneur I take action to drive positive change in society. During a phase in which I struggled to listen to my personal mission and felt overwhelmed during the implementation of my plans, the support of Regina has been invaluable. Regina helped me to gain clarity and confidence despite my unconventional path. Thanks to her I was able to progress much faster on my personal development path than I would have without her support. I therefore highly recommend Regina's coaching."

Majka Baur  |  Digital Nomad
Social Entrepreneur and Co-Founder of We-Act

"Regina is kind, caring, and at the same time, dedicated and professional. She has an understanding of the client as an individual with the potential of acting on and bringing about new growth and opportunities for themselves. I now hold myself more accountable in my life and know that I can accomplish great things in my profession, taking the time to intentionally connect with my what I want and can do."

Regan Elliot  |  Good To Greatness Coaching USA

"When I first started working with Regina, I was looking for how to have the greatest possible impact in the world. But the magnitude of it was overwhelming, and I did not know where to start. Then I began to find clarity and focus and was able to scale it down. I am now working on projects that are stepping stones towards my vision of contributing to a better world, whilst retaining the balance in my life that I want."
