Judit Teichert

Associate Partner and managing director, konu germany

Judit loves learning about people and helping people connect more deeply to themselves, their purpose(s), and to others. She particularly enjoys designing and facilitating leadership development and change programs that allow individuals to relate their individual purposes to organizational purposes. 

Her coaching, training and consulting practice is grounded in the belief that every person and every organization can maximize their impact by being authentically imperfect and learning as well as finding a balance between growing and provoking leadership in each person.

Judit has over ten years' experience working as a licensed cognitive behavioral therapist for individuals and groups (MA Psychology from University of Marburg, Germany and Approbation as a CBT therapist from Bremen, Germany). She now uses this expertise to support self-regulation and sustainable behavioral change in her coaching, training, and consulting practice. Her years as a therapist also make her appreciate how hard change is – and what good mechanisms are for dealing with resistance to that change.

Having spent much of her childhood at the theatre, she set off after high school to become an actress and trained in acting and singing at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in New York City. She looks back at this time as one of the biggest failures of her life: She lost all her passion for acting and learned how important it is to be able to act and assess the dynamics of the situation at the same time. Even so, she still enjoys slipping into different roles in her life – be it as a facilitator, mother, coach, partner, lindy-hopper, or handball player.
