"I support managers and communication managers in administrations and public organizations in the strategic development of their communication."

Contact us

With many years of experience in a politically demanding environment with a focus on leadership and strategic communication, I advise governments, administrations and public organizations on the design and further development of their organization and communication. Leadership and communication belong together: I combine organizational development and communication consulting - structured, credible and sustainable.

"Think. Communicate. Do."

I provide support in adapting communication processes to the new circumstances - for clearer, faster and more flexible communication that strengthens public trust and makes the work of employees easier. The aim: to implement change processes sustainably and to create transparent communication that meets modern requirements and builds trust.

    "We often develop communication concepts on instinct, without having learned the craft. Barbara Günthard-Maier's practice-oriented courses open up new perspectives. Analyzing instead of immediately discussing communication channels, for example, is worthwhile - because it helps us reach the target group better!"
