Dr. Nicole Tschierske is a coach, trainer, and facilitator. She helps scientists, tech experts, and leaders do better work by redesigning work systems to reduce stress and increase motivation. Using evidence-based concepts, practical tools that are fit for purpose, and a playful approach, Nicole helps teams reduce friction so they enjoy the pursuit of excellence. As a scientist, with a PhD in chemistry, Nicole is rigorous (without being rigid), analytical (without being judgemental), and ingenious (without being condescending). Her biggest inspiration is Mary Poppins because she makes everything seem light and magical, she respects the dignity of your process, and she f*cks off when the work is done. Born and raised in East Germany, Nicole now resides in Hamburg, Germany.
