About Franziska RIZZOLLI

Franziska Rizzolli Business Coach in Munich Germany

Hi, I am Franziska.

I combine 20+ years of corporate experience with transformational coaching; growing individuals and teams in organisations and supporting them on their leadership journey. Passionate about leadership development and cultural change in corporations, I run transformational coaching workshops for teams and organisations all over the world.

I have lived and worked in several countries, enjoying and thriving in diversity, curiosity, and cultural change. I experienced and love the model of the working mother which enabled me to have a natural, positive, and experienced approach to female leadership and what is needed for development and training.

Having experienced many of the challenges in the corporate world, from start-ups to large organisations, I am an established andwell-respected business coach, team coach, and workshop facilitator, known to be empathetic and positive, yet bold and challenging when it comes to grow my clients and their well being.

I give talks and trainings to many topics that I observe in the working environments and society at large to raise awareness, inspire, and create a learning experience.
