Our team

Michaela has found her true passion. Known as the “go-to person for difficult cases,” she thrives on tackling complex challenges with our clients. Her focus lies in analysing issues in depth and developing creative, tailor-made solutions that truly fit.

With over 20 years of hands-on experience as an entrepreneur and leader, Michaela brings extensive expertise as a strategy, organisational development and change management consultant, as well as a business coach, mentor and trainer. She shares her knowledge as a speaker and lecturer at universities and universities of applied sciences, particularly on topics such as strategy, organisational development, leadership, change management and project management—and, of course, as a trainer in the COX Leadership Development Programme.

Michaela recharges her energy through morning walks in the forest with her Irish Setter Lotti, skiing and mountaineering with her family, and exploring new culinary destinations.

Flora Otahal supports leaders, teams and organisations in sustainable development and change processes. She believes that effective leadership requires conscious self-reflection and intentional action, which is why she works hands-on through leadership trainings, team workshops and business coaching. Her approach is grounded in systemic thinking and a clear focus on the psychology of change.

In coaching, Flora primarily works with top talent and mid-level leaders, with a particular emphasis on mindfulness-based self-leadership and the conscious shaping of one’s leadership role. She is known for empathic listening, integrating diverse perspectives and working collaboratively to create clarity in complex situations.

Her experience as a trainer, coach and university lecturer in career and personal development directly informs her work. Beyond her professional role, Flora enjoys immersing herself in books, continuously broadening her perspective on leadership, learning and what it means to be human.

With a wealth of experience in learning & development, Magdalena guides organizations through development processes – across industries and always with an eye for the essentials: the power of good leadership and effective collaboration. Her professional journey has taken her through the tech and EdTech industry, the hotel industry and HR development – both at home and abroad, where she lived and worked for several years.

As a trainer, Magdalena supports teams and managers in their further development. She brings sound didactic expertise, combining structure with empathy, theory with practice, and ambition with humanity. Her passion for playful learning is reflected in the design and implementation of training programs and workshops.

With her open, warm manner and curiosity for languages and cultures, she creates spaces for genuine interaction – characterized by lightness, depth and clarity.

As a nature-loving Waldviertel native and Salzburg resident by choice, she finds her energy outdoors – swimming, running or hiking. Music is her creative source of strength and provides a balance to everyday life.
