Meet Your Hosts.
Stefanie Robel
Stefanie grew up in Berlin, Germany and completed a Ph.D. in Neuroscience in Munich before she permanently relocated to the US.
She became a personal development and leadership nerd during her postdoctoral training, initially to increase her competitiveness and later because she realized that she could use these strategies and tools to create a happier, balanced life AND increase her levels of success.
She started her independent research program in 2016, built a thriving research team, and brought in more than $10M in funding. She meanwhile earned tenure and moved institutions to take her research and institutional leadership to the next level.
Stefanie started Team Leadership In Research in 2019 leveraging her life coaching skills and the experience she had gained as head coach in another business. Team Leadership In Research systematizes leadership knowledge and management approaches specifically for research teams to help team leaders achieve success and fulfillment*.
Her big mission is to change the academic culture from negativity and chronic stress to one where people express their unique brilliance AND live a fun, joyful, happy life by bringing leadership training along with optimism to her community.
Robert Rossbach
Robert grew up in Berlin, Germany. He completed a master’s degree in mathematics in Berlin and Barcelona before he became a Human Resources professional while at PWC, one of the “Big Four” accounting firms. During this career stage he got insights to the structure of multi-national blue-chip corporations, as well as small and medium sized companies. During this time, he gained understanding of why some companies are more successful than others. Spoiler alert: It has to do with leadership and management strategies
Based on this expertise, he became an executive at RWE, the biggest energy supply corporation in Germany. There he became a project lead of “New Way of working”, a full company transformation program further diving into different organizational set-ups and learning how a holistic approach to leadership, operational excellence and End2End-process management drives performance, success, and satisfaction of employees.
To back his practical experiences up with theoretical insight, Robert has become a certified Six Sigma Master Black Belt, an Agile coach, a certified Professional Scrum master and Scrum Product owner as well as a PRINCE2- project manager.
Robert believes that excellence in leadership and self-organizing teams are two different words for the same thing. The concept of servant leadership in Scrum, i.e., a great leader’s role is to support team members to perform at their best. Robert teaches leaders how to do exactly that.
