About Dr. Corinna Freitag

I am an Executive Coach, Advisor & Speaker with over 30 years of expertise in natural and human sciences through university, industry, and continuing education.

I hold a Ph.D. in chemistry, am certified as an Executive Coach, and received my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) – the gold standard of professional coaching.

I have lived in different countries and worked for over 18 years globally in the automotive and chemical industry in various positions with colleagues on the shop floor up to Senior Vice Presidents, which led to me being the Global Operational Excellence Leader for 5+ years.

What others say

Corinna’s coaching program transformed how I interact at work. I learned to pause, reflect, and respond with empathy rather than frustration.

Her program goes beyond conflict resolution; it helps you build a deeper understanding of yourself and others. The techniques made me more empathetic, curious, and less reactive, changing how I approach challenges.

What stood out most was Corinna’s authenticity – by sharing her own experiences, she made me feel truly understood and supported.

Karla Lugardo
Controller

Corinna’s coaching program and the combination of the Positive Intelligence® training and the weekly coaching sessions are a perfect fit. I cannot think of even the smallest thing that could be improved. The way she does the sessions is great. She manages a pretty cool balance between listening, giving tips, explaining, and asking questions, which makes it much easier to work on and think about difficult and stressful topics.

The coaching program has helped me significantly improve my relationship with difficult colleagues, handle unexpected challenges better, and become much calmer and more relaxed. I now have techniques to quickly regain my composure and move forward constructively, rather than getting stuck in a negative mindset. This has made me happier and more pleasant, which has enhanced my relationships and work environment. It feels so good!

M.Sc. Christina Schwarze
Specialist Product Development

The coaching program by Corinna helped me reduce my stress, feel more balanced, and make it far easier to calm down, which improved my relationships and the quality of my sleep.

Before the coaching engagement, I was always stressed that I had not done enough and could have done more. Now I can take a break and relax without a bad consciousness and no loss in productivity.

As a scientist, I like that Corinna’s method uses data and facts to discover the root causes to overcome my challenges.

Very interesting and mindset changer sessions enabled by the brilliant support of Corinna, who provides great insights and brings different angles and perspectives for own reflections. Always open for discussion, Corinna creates a positive environment making our exchange very pleasant and fruitful.

Thank you, Corinna, for coaching me through a tough situation at work which seemed hopeless to me!

I experienced Corinna as a very emphatic coach, asking the right questions at the right time and creating an atmosphere of real trust where I could open up easily.

Learning about Positive Intelligence® from Corinna helped me a lot to understand certain behaviors of myself and others and helped me to find the best way to approach various difficult situations.

Corinna helped me to lead a happier life – professional & private. I know, those are big words, but they are true! Thank you, Corinna!

Corinna guided me with a good mix of questions, input, Positive Intelligence®, little nudges, and some big realizations. And for me it was extremely helpful, that Corinna understood my professional world of a woman in technology and operations. I felt, I could just talk about my struggles and challenges, and she understood.

It was great to be coached from Corinna Freitag! Her methodic is effective in managing your time better and setting your priorities.

I never have the feeling to be talking to a coach, but rather to a kind of friend who hears me objectively, understands me, and gives me advice, which works!

Thank you for appearing on the right time, Corinna!

The coaching engagement gave me an excellent method to become calmer and more positive.

Before joining Corinna’s program, I attended many trainings with great insights but just 2 weeks later I could not even remember the content. The learned techniques through her program generate lasting positive change. Its simplicity in integrating it into my daily life even on busy days is brilliant.

Corinna’s questions and perceptions helped me to identify my big and dark cloud of negative feelings and to make it tangible and more manageable.

Marlene, PhD
Production Chemist

The coaching program by Corinna has helped me to find the right balance from negative emotions, such as stress and frustration, into positive energy to feel less exhausted and more joy in my work and life.

I liked her systematic approach.

The daily reflections via the app and the weekly sessions with Corinna created the awareness and certainty that I was moving in the right direction, as well, as putting things into the right perspective.

The added value of the coaching session was the moments “of inspiration” showing me new approaches and ways of thinking. The method allowed me to rediscover how to take care of the small acts.
