Nevena Paesler Header About

Hi, I am Nevena Paesler

I believe in the power of a diverse society where everyone brings their strengths, culture, and uniqueness.

A society where people appreciate and support each other, feeling they truly belong. I’ve seen how helping one more person feel happy can create a ripple effect, positively influencing others. This belief drives everything I do.

My Journey

From Challenges to Growth

I moved to Germany 18 years ago, full of excitement for a new life abroad. But the excitement came with challenges – adapting to a new culture, finding a job, learning German, and rebuilding my life from scratch. Yet, I kept going. Over time, I built a career in Product and Marketing Management, gaining experience across various industries.

But as my career grew, I noticed a pattern: every few years, I craved change, new challenges, and more freedom. Routine and external control drained my motivation, but flexibility, curiosity, and cultural exchange energized me. My international experiences, especially living in Turkey and Poland, shaped my love for learning, diversity, and resilience. I realized that complexity, cultural exchange, and the excitement of new experiences inspired me to overcome challenges.

I love listening to people, encouraging them, building connections, and bringing ideas to life

Finding My Purpose

A few years ago, I took a crucial step in redefining my career. It wasn’t just about finding a new role but about discovering work that truly aligned with my passion, strengths, and values. I realized that my calling was about helping people grow. This realization changed everything for me. It helped me feel more connected, confident, and clear about my path.

I became self-employed as a business, Intercultural and career coach and since then, I’ve supported many international talents, helping them find their way to succeed in Germany – through personal coaching, group sessions, and community projects. I understand well the journey of living and working abroad because I’ve walked it myself, and I’ve learned valuable lessons along the way that now serve as resources to support others.

Today I feel happy and connected to the local society, Germany become my home of choice, and my work is more than just a job – it’s my vocation. I love listening to people, encouraging them, building connections, and bringing ideas to life. The most rewarding part is seeing others grow and succeed.

I dream of a local society where everyone can bring their strengths and uniqueness and where everybody appreciates and supports each other, feeling they belong to the community

Why I do what I do

I know how challenging and rewarding the journey of integration can be because I’ve walked that path myself. My journey wasn’t easy, but I was fortunate to have people who believed in me, supported me, and opened doors when I needed them the most.

Nevena succeeded in releasing me from my narrow tunnel view in a very short time due to her calm, structured and empathetic manner.

Nevena supported me professionally in a job-related decision-making issue. At the time of the coaching, I was bothered by many worries, doubts, and a general feeling of difficulty due to inner conflicts. Nevena succeeded in releasing me from my narrow tunnel view in a very short time due to her calm, structured and empathetic manner. She helped me sort out my inner voice and needs and find a solution that suited me. I felt incredibly comfortable and in good hands from the very first second. For me, Nevena combines competence and heart, and I am infinitely grateful to her for the professional guidance and sustainable solutions I was able to work out within our coaching!

If you are interested in coaching but have doubts whether to go for it or not, try it out and you will be surprised at how the solution to your problems might come from where you did not expect at all.

I started coaching for finding a job that would suit my personality and professional expertise better, but I soon found that I was impatient and was taking the wrong steps. Nevena helped me get an outsider perspective on my situation and helped me take each tiny step in getting closer to what I wanted to achieve and to a healthier approach to my well-being beyond the professional. I have learnt to look at stressful work and life situations from a personal perspective and evaluate how I would like them to develop with an advantage for myself rather than focusing first on what others want/expect from me. This helped me structure my thoughts better and manage the feelings of anxiety and frustration in developing my future career and at my current position. Nevena prepared me for the long journey ahead and helped me see how many pleasant surprises I will encounter on the journey!

I was not skeptical about coaching but had never tried it before and only had an experience with a psychologist: I was really impressed by Nevenas efficient approach.

I liked the way Nevena consistently guided me: for example, when I was too far off-topic, Nevena kindly guided me back to the original goal of the session. I also enjoyed the atmosphere she created. Even when the sessions were overwhelming, I still felt „safe“. I was not skeptical about coaching but had never tried it before and only had an experience with a psychologist: I was really impressed by Nevena’s efficient approach.

With her friendly, calm, and empathetic manner, Nevena creates a trusting and relaxed atmosphere, and I experienced her as very competent and inspiring.
