Contrapunkt Consult, Tübingen

Leadership with clarity. Strength in teams. True Development for organisations.

Contrapunkt Consult supports leaders, teams and organisations through change and transformation processes – with a clear focus on people, collaboration and culture. At the heart of our approach are systemic reflection, challenging executions, sustainable relationships and development programmes tailored precisely to your context.

The Managing Director and founder is Katja Pleterski, a qualified psychologist, systemic coach and organisational consultant.

For larger development processes, leadership training programmes and our sailing programme, we work in close collaboration with a dedicated network of experienced trainers and coaches.

Depending on the assignment, we put together a team that is perfectly suited to your organisation, your leadership culture and your specific needs – and support you from the initial meeting right through to the long-term embedding of the change.

Contrapunkt Consult's services range from confidential coaching through team development and mediation to integral organisational development. The aim is not a quick fix, but a process of development that brings patterns, roles, structures and culture to light – and translates them into concrete steps.

Sailing as a Space for Reflection

On a professional level, sailing offers the opportunity of experiencing leadership in real time

On a sailing boat, leadership is revealed in its purest form: decisions made under uncertainty, responsibility for others, communication under pressure and teamwork can be experienced first-hand. The experiences on board are professionally reflected upon and linked to your day-to-day leadership practice – for deeper insights into self-leadership, understanding of your role and team dynamics.

Coaching

In-Depth Personal Development

Our coaching supports professionals in their transitions or in becoming effective leaders in complex decision-making situations.

Team Development

Meaningful Collaboration

When teams clarify their roles, expectations and areas of overlap, genuine collaboration emerges. Team development makes shared responsibility sustainable and lays the foundation for trust, direction and effective action. Together, a framework is created in which friction is reduced, tensions are resolved and ground rules for motivating and efficient collaboration are developed.

Organisational Development

Organisations today face intense pressure to change: global interconnectedness, cultural shifts and the accelerating pace of the market are increasing complexity – traditional management approaches are increasingly falling short. Sustainable development no longer arises from isolated measures, but through the targeted interplay of all relevant factors.

Contrapunkt Consult supports you in gaining a clear picture of your organisational dynamics, identifying areas for development and devising transformation strategies that interlink strategy, collaboration and culture.

Mediation

Resolving Conflicts, Strengthening Relationships

Mediation and facilitated conflict resolution create a safe space to bring underlying issues, needs and expectations to light. The aim is to reach sustainable agreements that ease the burden on both collaborative work and interpersonal relationships – without assigning blame, focusing on a better understanding for a long lasting future.

Leadership Training

Leadership as a Conscious Practice

Leadership development is aimed at managers who wish to refine their role and reflect on their impact: the focus is on self-management, communication, decision-making and managing change. Through our international leadership training programme, we develop leaders who can operate effectively even in challenging, culturally diverse contexts.

Working Methods & Formats

Confidentiality

As consultants and coaches, we are bound by a statutory duty of confidentiality; confidentiality is non-negotiable for all discussions and far beyond.

First Meeting

The initial, non-binding introductory meeting usually lasts 60 minutes. Based on your concerns, we will work together to define the objective for your coaching or organisational development, and we will explain the approaches and methods that we – and, where appropriate, colleagues from our network – will use to support you on your journey towards this goal.

Sessions

Our coaching sessions usually last between 90 and 120 minutes to allow sufficient time for in-depth reflection and concrete steps towards development. Virtual coaching sessions are available at any time as an alternative format, enabling us to support you effectively regardless of your location.

Places and Formats

We deliver team development, organisational development projects and leadership training as required: in-house at your company, in suitable external seminar rooms or – as a special space for reflection – on board a sailing boat. The principle of ‘form follows function’ always applies: the format is consistently tailored to your specific needs, your circumstances and the best possible setting for sustainable development.

We look forward to achieving lasting results together with you.
