Dagmar’s Approach
Working as an instructor and coach, I focus my attention on the person in the context of the scientific environment. My style combines open-mindedness and dedication with expertise gained from years as a lab scientist and science manager. I am enthusiastic about modern teaching methods, curious about technical developments and have a weakness for efficiency. This approach shows in my workshops, coaching sessions and consulting services.
