ABOUT ANITA EICKE
Relationships Are What Matter
Executive Learning and Leadership Specialist, marketing and strategy consultant, experienced Senior Executive Coach, certified Trainer for Mindfulness in Organisations, certified MBTI and HOGAN profiler, and last – but not least! – seasoned leader, entrepreneur and former top level executive.
What has mattered most to me over the years is my human and relational interest. Having worked in organisational environments throughout most of my professional career and until a few years ago, I am able to relate to exactly what leaders feel and experience in their daily work.
For over 10 years I have worked with numerous HR Managers, and HR Development and Organisational Development Specialists throughout Europe by working for two top business schools: IMD in Lausanne (Switzerland) and the IESE Business School in Barcelona (Spain). Together we have tackled many leadership challenges and, through many discussions and successful implementations, we have been able to establish unique and enduring relationships. Through this work I have developed a deep understanding of people, purpose and performance; all of which has come together in Eicke Leadership Academy.
Our inspiring conversations and trusting encounters strengthened my resolve to combine my knowledge of organizations and their challenges, my many years of leadership experience and my passion for brain research. This is how the Eicke Leadership Academy came into being.
My interest in applied neuroscience was stimulated by the work of Professor Dr. Paul Brown, Professor of Organisational Neuroscience, Monarch Business School (Switzerland) and through my own practice of meditation, especially during my “Trainer in Mindfulness in Organisations” certification. As a result I became aware of the need for a new quality of leaders who are focused and empathic, who understand the functioning of the brain and the mind, and thus consistently achieve purposeful, high-performance goals – for themselves and their teams.
