Ute Clement

Ute Clement

I am a graduate psychologist (Heidelberg University) and a systemic consultant. I have worked in a management position at Daimler AG for several years in the field of developing managerial skills and intercultural management. Since 1995 I’ve worked as an independent consultant. From 2007 to 2024 I was managing director of Ute Clement Consulting GmbH, which I founded. Since 2025 I have been a freelance consultant and coach.

I give talks and publish on systemic consulting and factors of success of change projects. As an experienced consultant, I am available for one-on-one coaching. In these sessions, I include an organisational as well as a personal perspective. I know about all the challenges for managers of all levels within organisations from an internal point of view.

How do we work?

We develop solutions together. We will navigate all relevant issues together based on my many years of experience as an international project manager, manager, and consultant. We will use all the tools that are available to us, discuss and agree on goals, and reflect on what we have accomplished.

Typical Procedure during our Coachings:

During an initial meeting coach and coachee will get to know each other. The coachee will explain their issue. Together we will discuss goals, how we will hold our meetings (face-to-face or online), how many sessions we will hold, and how long those sessions shall be. After that, we will begin with the coaching process.
