‘Manchmal ist es Zeit für eine berufliche Veränderung. Nur, man weiß nicht: Wohin will ich mich entwickeln? Was macht mir Spass? Was ist meine spezielle Expertise?

Durch die Zusammenarbeit mit Melanie Wild-Schleiffelder konnte ich mich diesen Fragen konstruktiv stellen und so eine neue berufliche Perspektive entwickeln.

Melanie versteht es eine Atmosphäre zu schaffen, in der es möglich ist sich zu öffnen, in sich hineinzuhören und Dinge zu klären. Sie lässt erzählen, hört zu, stellt die richtigen Fragen und setzt im entscheidenden Moment einen Trigger, der Erkenntnis bringt. Durch ihren hohen Grad an Professionalität und ihr breites Wissen leitete Melanie Wild-Schleiffelder mich durch eine Zeit der Krise und beruflichen Findungsphase und ermöglichte es mir eine beruflichen Neuanfang zu schaffen.’

I asked Angelika for help when I was working on a project delivering change in the organisation I worked for.  Thanks to her excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, I was able to deeply analyse the problem, understand it and take the right approach to resolve it. Angelika has excellent interpersonal and communication skills. She easily finds a common language with everyone she meets. She is a very positive and full of energy person. 

On a personal level, she helped me get through a major change in my life. She always knew how to ask the right question which helped me to see the challenge from a completely different angle, get back on track, and staying motivated through the process.

‘Melanie was instrumental when I joined Nokia, she quickly helped me to identify my key stakeholders and understand the business operating model. With her coaching, guidance and support I was able to construct a DevOps delivery model and transform the operations team to support a new (world first) cloud core native solution. Melanie is a consummate professional and a master in her field, I look forward to future engagements.’

'Angelika is a wonderful friend and a very talented coach. Her decision in quitting corporate job to pursue her passion as a coach, has empowered me and gave me more faith in myself. Angelika motivated me to put my own life on a different track to achieve my dream career goals and gave me motivation, reassurance, and courage I needed at that time.

It is rare to meet people as exceptional as Melanie! I had the honor and the pleasure of working with Melanie for several years at Nokia, we have been both involved in innovative transformation programs. I always been impressed by Melanie’s capability to analyze so quickly and efficiently complex organization, tooling landscape and processes. Melanie has this ability to figure out what shall change, evolve, be transformed – all to meet the new digital era. Melanie gives clarity and transformation seems then so natural. But Melanie has more than great professional skills, Melanie is also a real nice person everyone appreciates, Melanie can motivate people and teams like no other. I wish everyone to have the same chance I had: working with Melanie and realizing what a real collaboration

Angelika reported to me between 2015 and 2019. She is a passionate project manager with excellent communication skills. With success she led SAP/Standard process work stream implementations and transition projects (outsourcing and insourcing) across functions and geographies. She is a leader and great team player at the same time. She demonstrated accountability, flexibility and strong change management skills among others. She is customer and task focused, not afraid of challenges. It was a pleasure to work with Angelika and watch her grow in her role. 

As we neared the launch of the ESN network in the UK, it was apparent that we needed a change in our culture of cooperation and processes if we were to successfully and efficiently deliver the vision of our future services. I engaged Melanie to facilitate these changes across a complex e2e multivendor environment. She audited our current processes and technologies to determine the current state, assisted in framing a strategy to deliver the required changes and then successfully coached and guided the team to meet its goals.

I’ve worked with Angelika during the last two years and truly I have to appreciate her thinking out of the box, outstanding coordination of all the stakeholders located across many countries and pushing the on-site teams to deliver towards given milestones and timelines. Her PM skillset and past experience has clearly significantly contributed to successful completion of our massive transition project focusing on EMEA finance scope.
