Urs Winzenried
As an entrepreneur and project facilitator, Urs learned first-hand the need for support and motivation for employees and associates. This sparked his interest in personal and performance leadership issues. He became a certified coach, applying principles learned from several coaching schools and frameworks, with a special focus on inter-cultural perspectives and values work. He considers his rich and diverse business biography as a major asset for his work.
I always sensed, and am now convinced, that the challenge of creating sustainability, wellness and well being with a healthy profitability must be based on values awareness, change management, embodied leadership, and continuous learning. Mentoring creates tremendous ‘added-value’ in achieving those goals and includes professional and personal life issues.
Coaching requires laser-sharp skills employed with respect. It demands openness, trust and the courage to move 'outside of the box'. I sometimes compare coaching to 'verbal acupuncture', the age-old wisdom and profession of activating the resources and inherent potential of an organism through minimal but precise and effective intervention. The key point is often nowhere near the area of pain, symptom or 'problem'.
After studying law and economics in Switzerland, he lived several years in Sydney, Australia. He later spent more than 20 years in management and board positions in a Swiss-based family business (packaging, printing inks, real estate and construction). During building a pan-European direct-selling company, he focused more on including values and meaning in his approach.
As an ICF Professional Certified Coach, Facilitator and Mentor, Urs has been working for more than 10 years with a wide spectrum of clients across cultures and industry sectors. He has applied his special interests in values-based team alignment and embodied leadership to manage change projects, support professional development and facilitate improved teamwork.
He has a grown-up daughter at university in Switzerland and recently relocated to London with his American second wife. He is currently working with several smaller and successful charities and projects in the UK as a Mentor and authentic "Lateral Connector".
