Team
You are looking for professional support for
Conflict resolution
Team dynamics
Communication
Supervision
I will have all team members in view, I will listen to you and ask you questions. I will help you to see things from new angles and enable you to use your potentials and behaviors in different ways.
Why work with me?
I create and safeguard a space where things can be said that are usually left unsaid – so that issues can finally be addressed and changed. My previous clients have described my professional approach as “tender, clear, non-judgemental, humorous and guiding”. I’m a quick thinker, but my approach wouldn’t be complete without my practical experience and my hands-on spirit. My background is in sport and dance – doing, trying things out, getting things done. For this, as well as mobilising resources, it is necessary to use strong analytical skills – to face up to uncomfortable facts and unpleasant realities, and to ask questions and act accordingly. If this resonates with you and you’re keen to embark on a journey of change with my keen eye, friendly yet clear questions (and statements), then you’ve come to the right place.
Conflicts
Are things a bit tense between you lot? Are there disagreements, for example, about who does what? Or about how people should go about their work? Despite discussions and attempts to sort things out, nothing’s changing and it’s just getting on your nerves?
We assess the extent to which the conflict is functional or dysfunctional. We review and adapt team structure and dynamics, the distribution of roles and responsibilities, and identify the necessary safeguards to ensure that the solutions are implemented in a sustainable manner.
Approx. 6–15 sessions, depending on the size of the team and the situation.
We'll work using individual preliminary discussions, team sessions and, where
necessary, simulations or real reconstructivism (see below).
Teamflow
Is your teamwork suffering – and your motivation too? Are there constant disagreements that can’t be put to creative use, but instead lead to deadlock and endless delays?
Do you want to re-establish a foundation that will enable you to get into a state of flow as a team?
How can we identify which conflicts could, in themselves, be used creatively, and what is required to do so? Where necessary, we review the team structure, the distribution of roles and tasks, and what measures are needed to ensure that the agreed actions are implemented in a sustainable manner.
Approx. 10–20 sessions, depending on the size of the team and the situation.
I work using individual preliminary discussions, team sessions and, where
necessary, simulations or real-life reconstructivism (see below).
Communication
Are processes out of sync, leading to extra communication effort? Is coordination between people and their responsibilities not running smoothly? Is the situation not improving despite clarification meetings? Would you like clearer and more effective communication?
I will assess communication patterns, the clarification of roles and responsibilities, and structural arrangements for (dys)functionality. Following initial one-to-one discussions, I will begin by applying structural analysis and real-constructivism, then work to organise communication more effectively and, where necessary, provide further guidance on structure and the clarification of roles and responsibilities.
Approx. 10–20 people, depending on the size of the team and the situation.
Supervision
Are you looking for ongoing support, reflection and guidance to review and, where necessary, adapt your professional practice and institutional structures? Supervision is a good long-term solution for this; it provides a regular framework for reflection – for both teams and management.
We will examine the interactions between individuals, roles, functions, tasks and the organisation, as well as conflicts, cases, disruptions and successes. The aim is to broaden the scope for thinking and acting.
4–15 participants. We'll work using dialogue,
which may involve role-play if requested, or real constructivism.
Conversation (structured, systematic)
You'll share your thoughts, tell your story and ask questions – I'll ask questions and assess the situation – and, step by step, we'll develop potential solutions, goals and implementation strategies.
Real constructivism
Real constructivism allows for an objective view of communication patterns, independent of individual sensitivities, which (necessarily) have their limits in a professional context. This enables analysis and guidance which, under certain circumstances, may provide a quicker solution to communication problems than addressing personal and psychological needs and conflicts.
Simulation
I work with specific real-life examples and the participants’ wishes, bringing these to life through simple role-play exercises so that we can analyse them in detail and derive possible courses of action. For the simulation, the participants briefly take on a theatrical role, which is generally a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Online
As well as in-person sessions, I also offer most sessions online
FORMATS
In-House
or in Prenzlauer Berg
In addition to talk and work with specific questions I will - on request - also work with creative methods such as constellations, system board.
telephone and online
I am glad to work by phone or videocall.
Two examples of feedback from team coaching sessions:
"I always found our collaboration to be on an equal footing and very focused. The framework you created really helped me to look at situations from a fresh perspective and deal with them in an orderly and structured way. I particularly appreciated the honest and alert approach to the work. You were very appreciative and always stayed on track. You were humorous and superbly organised. I would definitely recommend you! Super organised, very well prepared and always transparent. A big thank you to you for your support."
"Mathis is a sensitive mediator, a strategic thinker, and a sharp observer. His empathic and respectful approach makes working with him both effective and genuinely enriching. He guided our team through essential topics such as team dynamics, role clarity, and the nuances of founder relationships. During our sessions, I experienced a space that fostered openness, bodily awareness, and honest dialogue. Through thoughtful questions and embodied methods, he invited a level of introspection that touched both professional an personal spheres, enabling deeper alignment between individual values and collective direction. His support has been invaluable, and I recommend him to anyone navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship and collaborative work. Many thanks to Mathis for creating such a safe and grounding environment for reflection and growth!"
