Coaching for Start-ups From a good idea to the successful founding of a company: It is a structured process to develop a convincing, sustainable business concept. I will work with you to create a bank-focused business plan that fits to your individual business model and accompany you during the presentation to the banks until the loan is granted.
Business Consultation To run your own company, you need to take chances and deal with risks. But which decision guarantees success in the end? Good business consultancy supports you to develop different perspectives on challenges and to integrate decisions into a strategy that will help you to grow. I will support you with my expertise.
Succession Planning and Business Takeover Taking over a company is a major life decision. I can help you to find the value of a company, make a strategic finance plan and support you in the negotiations. Then you can be sure that you are making the right decision.
Personality Coaching Behind every entrepreneurial personality is an individual with his or her own patterns of behaviour and communication. Some of these are conducive to a career, others can be a hurdle in certain situations. With my systemic coaching approach, I will help you to recognize undiscovered resources, overcome obstacles and develop your potential.
Career Coaching If you want a new view of yourself, the desire for change is the most important condition. Regardless of whether you want to open up a new position in your existing employment relationship, are looking for a change or want to face the challenges of self-employment, I will accompany you in searching for and finding new professional goals.
Business Workshops A company is only as good as its employees. Through interactive business workshops, I will support your team to fully utilize and increase its performance.
We will openly discuss your company challenges, which then become the starting point for the individual coping strategies which we will develop together.

Als ich ins Coaching kam, dachte ich, es ginge mir um Erfolg. Aber am Ende ging es um etwas ganz anderes: Mir selbst und meinen Fähigkeiten vertrauen zu lernen. Sonia Flöckemeier räumte mit meinen Zweifeln auf und suchte mit mir zusammen nach einer passenden Arbeitsstruktur. Ihr „Na klar schaffen Sie das!“, klingt in mir bis heute noch nach.
We have been working with Sonia since before we founded our company. Initially, Sonia provided much needed clarity in regards to the basics of founding a company. As we have progressed as a company, so has Sonia's role for us: The last 2 years, Sonia has primarily functioned as our administrative and bureaucratic heavy hitter. Among other things, Sonia has helped form and shape loan applications, she has been our liaison to the banking world both when our goals were growth and when it was to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Furthermore, she has had a 100% success rate with us.
After spending a number of years evolving our tea and coffee business we realised it was time to take a significant step in order for our company to reach its potential. We needed to make a significant investment to take that step though and Sonia's thorough planning and knowledge of the various types of funding available to businesses like ours helped us to easily secure the loan that we needed and with a repayment plan that suited our scale. We have been successfully operating our cafe/kitchen for the last two years and Sonia's ongoing guidance, especially during the Coronavirus pandemic and its impact on trade, has helped us to keep the ship on course.
Sonia Flöckemeier hat mein Start-up KORA MIKINO von Anfang an eng begleitet und mich von der ersten Finanzplanung bis zur aktuellen Skalierungsphase eng gecoached und maßgeblich unterstützt, den jetzigen Erfolg zu realisieren. Sonia ist eine absolute Expertin, wenn es um wasserdichte Finanzplanungen geht, sie ist sehr routiniert und extrem engagiert. Ihre Arbeit endet nicht, wenn das Excel befüllt ist, sondern wenn der Kredit oder die Förderung etc. genehmigt ist.
Jeder Unternehmer in der Vorgründungsphase wird öfter von Zweifeln, Aufregung und der Frage: ‘ Was wenn das alles nur ein Hirngespinst ist? ‘ heimgesucht. Sonia hat die Gabe durch all die Verwirrung einen coolen Kopf und vor allem Durchblick zu bewahren. Mir persönlich hat es extrem geholfen, jemand an meiner Seite zu haben, der einem die Banksprache verständlich machen kann und aus ewigen Kalkulationen einen Sinn herausforscht und daraus ein nachhaltiges Geschäftskonzept entwickelt.
Aus meinem anfänglichen Traum hat sich mittlerweile ein tolles Geschäft inklusive Onlineshop entwickelt und dank Sonia überstehe ich die monatlichen Höhen und Tiefen mit mehr Selbstvertrauen - das wäre ohne Sonia nicht so weit gekommen.
