About

The people who do the work

SeminarPartner is a network, not a payroll. We match the person to the task rather than sending whoever happens to be free — which is why a leadership program, a sales training and an executive coaching engagement rarely involve the same face.

Tell us what you need and we will suggest who fits.

Portrait of Karin Verena Schwab

Karin Verena Schwab

Executive Coach · Leadership Trainer · Team Coach · Mindfulness Trainer

What I stand for
I support leaders, teams and organizations in gaining orientation in demanding situations, making effective decisions and shaping their collaboration consciously. I combine well-founded coaching and training methods with mindfulness, self-leadership, reflective capability and conscious communication — mindfulness as the foundation for staying present under pressure, noticing one's own reaction patterns early and acting more clearly. A particular strength of my work is making visible the dynamics that operate beneath the surface and make collaboration, trust or change harder. Out of that come shared direction, clearer responsibilities and collaboration carried by trust, commitment and personal responsibility.

  • Communication becomes clearer, more binding and more effective
  • Leaders and teams stay more present and capable of acting even in demanding situations
  • One's own reaction patterns and team dynamics are recognized earlier

  • In team coaching I support teams in recognizing their patterns, roles, relationships and dynamics and developing them further on their own responsibility
  • I use training impulses and facilitation deliberately where they support the development process
  • I create development spaces where reflection becomes possible, new perspectives emerge and even difficult topics can be worked through constructively
  • I combine clarity and structure with a fine sense for the visible and invisible dynamics in teams and organizations
  • My aim is development that does not stop at new insights but becomes tangible and lasting in everyday working life
