Mind Body Soul


Sandy Weiner, MCC, Med, CMF

Sandy WeinerSandy is co-founder of 1-Focus International. She is uniquely qualified as a coach, manager, and facilitator of human resources solutions which lead to real, sustainable business success. She brings both a business and trained psychologist’s perspective, gained in over two decades of successful experience in teaching, coaching, and management. She has held leading positions in human resources and sales & marketing, and has served as CEO of her own executive search and re-engineering consulting company. These give her a rich background in understanding complex business issues and problem solving, and motivating others in finding solutions.

The main focus of Sandy’s work is to uncover her client’s personal and corporate core missions (what motivates them); clarify where they want to go (shared vision); support them in reaching their goals fluently in a sustainable way (strategy); and building personal and team spirit. This holistic process helps bring clarity to the whole person or organization and build energy and focus that enable her clients to reach new heights, feel deep satisfaction in their work and continuously renew the organization. This, to Sandy, is a central drive in life: to be in alignment with one’s core self and in tune with those around them. Sandy brings a background of over 20 years of experience in coaching and consultant supervision as well as process design into her coaching conversations. Sandy currently lives in Berlin, Germany.

Mission

The 1-Focus success: Creating alignment between people’s needs and corporate goals.

At 1-Focus we develop thriving organizations through people involvement. Because organizations consist of people – it is the motivation of the individual in your organization that ultimately determine your organization’s performance.

So instead of human resources,we see human beings with lots of resources to be awakened*: Initiative, creativity, engagement abound with appreciation.

We enable tangible change, viable, healthy change often within weeks ­ where people feel valued, respected and asked. When people are fully engaged organizations experience leaps in innovation, effectiveness and productivity.

We have developed a unique process focusing on the most powerful motivator for change. By this, a new vision and goals are created based on common ground, mutual acceptance and commitment to enactment.

A new spirit of initiative and unity is born, strongly supporting your business development process.
