Berlin doesnāt slow down for anyone. Itās fast, ambitious, and constantly reinventing itself. Sound familiar?
If you’re a mid-career professional in Berlin, maybe in tech, media, academia, or government, youāve probably hit that moment where what once worked… no longer fits.
Maybe the role got too small.
Maybe the industry shifted.
Maybe you shifted.
And while the city offers innovation, it doesnāt always offer clarity.
Thatās where I come in.

Career Coaching in Berlin
I’m Dr. Kerstin Brehm, a former cardiac surgeon turned global consultant turned career strategist. I coach professionals in Berlin (virtually, from my base in Dubai) who are ready to lead differently, think more strategically, and build a career that feels as sharp as their resume.
Why Work with a Virtual Career Coach Based Outside of Berlin?
It might seem counterintuitive, but distance = clarity.
Hereās what working with me virtually unlocks for Berlin professionals:
- Perspective without bias: I’m not tangled in Berlinās corporate circles, hierarchies, or sector politics. Thatās an advantage.
- Edge over peers: My background includes surgery, Big 4 strategy & C-suite leadership means I bring more than a motivational quote. I bring actual strategy.
- Time-efficient delivery: No commute across Mitte. No navigating train strikes. Just focused, structured coaching that gets results.
- International insight: Iāve coached leaders from Munich to Manhattan, from Dubai to DĆ¼sseldorf. Berlin isnāt an outlier, itās part of a bigger leadership map I navigate with you.
Who I Coach in Berlin (And Who I Donāt)
ā
Professionals in mid to senior roles wondering: āWhatās next?ā
ā
Women in male-dominated industries ready to break ceilings without burning out
ā
Founders or corporate leads who feel stuck between ambition and exhaustion
ā
Expats trying to figure out if Germany is home, or just a stopover
ā
Berliners with great CVs but a growing sense of āI donāt want this anymoreā
š« New grads looking for first-time CV help
š« People seeking surface-level mindset shifts or vague āempowermentā tips
š« Clients not willing to do the real work (clarity isnāt always comfortable)
Inside the Coaching Process
My coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all. Itās diagnostic, surgical and strategic.
Whether you’re in Kreuzberg, Prenzlauer Berg, or on Zoom from a WeWork in Mitte, we work together to:
- Pinpoint exactly where the friction is (title? team? energy? values?)
- Strategise career pivots or promotions that actually make sense for you
- Rebuild confidence after burnout, stagnation, or a leadership shake-up
- Clarify your visibility, negotiation, and influence strategy
- Rewire mental loops that are quietly draining your ambition
This is not therapy. Itās not mentorship. Itās career engineering.
Why Me?
Because Iāve led under pressure, you canāt fake.
- Former cardiac surgeon. Led operating rooms under life-or-death pressure
- Former Big 4 Principal Consultant. Built corporate strategy at the highest level
- Former MD of a global healthcare company. Navigated international teams, power dynamics, and boardroom chaos
- Now: Career & Leadership Coach for high-performing professionals across Berlin, London, New York, and Dubai
I donāt offer motivation. I offer movement.
And my clients in Berlin have:
- Pivoted from corporate burnout to meaningful work with global mobility
- Stepped into leadership with sharper communication and executive presence
- Doubled salaries through strategic negotiations
Found peace without sacrificing ambition
