Arthur Coffin

Both share the belief that academic debate enriches and professionalizes coaching as well as team and organizational development. And so they started a vivid exchange on views and ideas, always in search of links between theory and practice.

His core competencies: Arthur is a published author on organizational and media theory with a focus on morale, trust, power, and leadership. He also has extensive experience working as an addiction counsellor in the realms of personal interaction and organization in the context of addiction for years.

He combines this experience with his unique blend of theory and practice and his pronounced bilingual und intercultural skills, which he acquired while working as a leadership coach and organizational consultant.
