Workshops & Trainings

When one impulse is not enough

A keynote opens the door. A workshop or training goes further: there is space for practice, reflection and transfer into everyday life. Depending on the need, I work with individual leaders or employees, with small groups or with entire teams.

Half-day or full-day · also as individual training or series

Stress Management

We go beyond theory: each participant identifies their own stress triggers and patterns and develops a personal strategy on that basis. We work with examples from their own everyday working life and address three levels: the situation itself, unhelpful thinking patterns, and targeted recovery.

Suitable for: Employees and leaders with a high workload who want to move beyond general knowledge and develop concrete strategies for their day-to-day lives.

Half-day or full-day · also as individual training or series

Resilience

Resilience does not mean putting up with everything. It means managing pressure and setbacks in a way that keeps you effective and allows you to recover. We work through core resilience factors: solution focus, optimism, self-efficacy, personal responsibility and social resources. Each factor is explored through short impulses and practical exercises.

Suitable for: Teams going through change, employees and leaders who want to maintain their inner stability even in demanding phases.

Further topics on request: All topics from the keynote catalogue can also be explored in depth as a workshop or training, for example perfectionism and performance expectations, impostor syndrome and self-doubt, positive psychology in everyday life, procrastination or psychological safety in teams. Just get in touch.

Introduction to Stress Management

From the fundamentals to mental strategies: effective ways to recognise stress, reduce it and stay healthy in the long run.

Mental Stress Management & Inner Drivers

Which unconscious drivers such as “be perfect” or “always try harder” amplify stress at work? We make them visible and develop a healthier way of dealing with them.

Procrastination

Putting things off is rarely laziness. More often it is a way of coping with overload or perfectionism. We look at the psychological mechanisms behind it and at practical ways into action.

Resilience & Inner Strength

Techniques for handling setbacks, strengthening your own resilience and staying effective in demanding times.

Perfectionism

We examine perfectionism as an inner driver and develop a healthier relationship with performance expectations.

Self-Doubt & Impostor Syndrome

Understanding and dissolving inner blocks, for more self-assurance and a healthier self-image.

Setting Healthy Limits

Saying no without a guilty conscience: overcoming people pleasing while staying authentic.

Optimism & Positive Psychology

How can we strengthen our eye for the good, especially in stressful times? We work with practical tools from positive psychology.

Mental Health Awareness

How do I recognise overload? What are the warning signs of burnout or depression, and how can I respond as a leader with both sensitivity and clarity?

For leaders

Psychological Safety in Teams

Teams where mistakes can be raised openly are demonstrably more effective. We clarify what psychological safety actually means and how leaders can foster it.

For leaders

Emotional Competence as a Leadership Tool

Confident in every conversation: emotions shape every meeting and every one-to-one. We work on recognising and regulating your own emotions early and handling other people's emotions with confidence, even when voices rise, tears flow or someone goes quiet.

For leaders

One-to-one sessions

Space to sort through what is on your mind

Psychological counselling and coaching in one-to-one sessions, online and in English or German. Together we look at your situation, work out what is weighing on you and develop steps that fit your everyday life. Grounded in cognitive behavioural psychology, stress research and positive psychology.

Stress and the feeling of never being done Perfectionism and high standards for yourself Self-doubt and impostor feelings Setting boundaries and saying no Putting things off even though you want to start Career decisions and transitions

Please note: Psychological counselling and coaching are not psychotherapy. I do not make diagnoses or treat mental illness. If it becomes clear that therapy would be the better option, I will tell you openly and help you find the right support. Sessions can be cancelled or moved free of charge up to 24 hours in advance; later cancellations are charged at 50 percent. In an acute crisis in Germany, call 112 or the TelefonSeelsorge (in German) on 0800 111 0 111; elsewhere, please contact your local emergency services.

Frequently asked

Good to know in advance

Keynotes & workshops for organisations

How does working together usually start?

Write to me briefly with what you have in mind: preferred date, topic and format. We like to clarify the details in a short call. Once everything is set, I confirm the date. Afterwards you receive all materials. A recording can be arranged for an additional fee if agreed in advance.

What is the difference between a keynote and a workshop?

A keynote gives a first impulse in 60 to 90 minutes, ideal for kick-offs or health days. A workshop or training goes deeper: there is practice, reflection and work on concrete situations from everyday working life, from half-day to multi-day.

How long are the keynotes and workshops, and what do they cover?

Keynotes run 60 to 90 minutes, workshops and trainings from half-day to multi-day, depending on the topic and the depth required. Topics range from stress management and resilience through perfectionism and impostor syndrome to psychological safety and emotional competence in leadership, always tailored to the team in question.

Do the sessions take place online, in Hamburg or on site?

All three are possible: online, on site in Hamburg, or at your own location, regardless of where you are based.

Are the keynotes and workshops available in English?

Yes, every format can also be booked in English.

How much lead time should I plan for?

Two to four weeks is usually enough. Depending on your preferred date and topic, an early enquiry is worthwhile.

Are series or multiple sessions possible, for example for a health day?

Yes. Individual keynotes can be combined into a workshop series across several months or integrated into a health day.

Are materials or a recording provided afterwards?

Yes, after every keynote or workshop you receive the matching materials. A recording is not included by default, but can be added for an additional fee if we agree on it in advance.

Are custom topics possible?

Yes. Every topic from the catalogue can be explored in depth as a workshop or training, and further topics are available on request.

Get to know me

Hello, I'm Amelie Schomburg-Bohl

I work at the intersection of research and everyday working life: concrete, evidence-based and without the buzzwords. My aim is to strengthen you and your people with solid knowledge, tangible impulses and strategies that hold up in practice.

From my time in management consulting I know that stress carries a valuable message: it shows us where something needs to change. Those who learn to read it draw strength and clarity from it.

“Whether in an organisation or in a prevention course for individuals, my approach stays the same: science-based, close to everyday life, no buzzwords.”

Let's take the first step

Whether it's a keynote, a workshop or a training, tell me what you're looking for. I'll get back to you with a no-obligation proposal.

Thank you, your message has arrived.I usually get back to you within two working days.

That did not work, sorry.Please check the email address and the message — or write to me directly at mail@schomburg-consulting.de.

Understanding stress, building resilience, more stability at work. For organisations, teams and individuals.
