Coaching for technologists, IT professionals and curious minds

Supporting you to recharge, realign and create the change you desire

Are you looking to lead life with clarity and purpose?

Through coaching, I help you do exactly that by helping you

  • connect with your personal values

  • tap into your inner vitality and

  • find answers to difficult questions!

Nature teaches us that growth and rest are inseparable.

After summer comes winter. ❄️

Day turns into night. 🌙

Even our muscles need recovery to grow strong. 💪

I support people who want to embrace these natural rhythms in their own lives - respecting both the drive to move forward and the need to pause, reflect, regenerate and renew - in order to make the most of the many opportunities life has in store for us.

Hi! my name is Lizanna Engel

Rose of Jericho, Resurrection Plant

When everything feels like too much

- and the one holding it all together is you

You know the feeling:

  • Waking up already mentally juggling the day

  • Switching between deep focus, and stakeholder demands

  • Carrying family responsibilities on top of relentless work

  • Feeling exhausted, scattered, and guilty for never being fully present

You’ve tried productivity hacks and time management. But the problem isn’t you. The problem is that you’re caught in overlapping systems — work, family, social expectations and more — that drain your energy instead of supporting it.

Your exhaustion is not failure. It’s a signal: your rhythms are out of sync.

This is where systemic coaching helps.

Together we’ll uncover the invisible patterns that keep you stuck in “always on” mode.

We’ll look at how your roles, expectations, and environments interact — and redesign them so they support rather than deplete you.

You’ll learn to see why some situations drain you while others energize you.

  • to release responsibilities that aren’t yours

  • to draw boundaries

  • to realign with your values and what truly matters

By following your innate rhythms: Growth and rest. Action and renewal. Discovery and processing. When you honour your regenerative capacity, you regain energy, presence, and confidence — in life, at work, and with the people you care about.

You’re not a machine that needs more efficiency. You’re a living system that deserves balance, flow, and renewal.

In the fast-moving world of technology, passion fuels innovation — but this can lead to severe consequences. Technologists and IT professionals often work under intense pressure: rapid deadlines, constant context switching, and a relentless pace of change.

It’s all too common to find oneself caught in an unhealthy cycle of overworking, under-reflecting, and reacting to problems — and as a result losing the ability to respond from a place of clarity.

My coaching offering is designed for those who love (or used to love) what they do — and want to keep loving it without sacrificing well-being, values, or a focus on long-term goals.

Imagine carrying with you a set of tools and practices that keep you grounded, reliably help you restore your energy and protect your well-being no matter how the landscape shifts.

Offering

Together, we will:

  • Examine what truly matters to you right now — and how circumstances and norms have shaped important areas of your life so far

  • Uncover the deeper values that fuel your motivation

  • Build the capacity to respond with certainty and integrity instead of mindless reaction — in both work life and personal life

  • Explore the tension between ambition and well-being, productivity and rest

  • Anchor decisions in clarity, purpose, and self-trust

This is a space to reconnect with your inner compass — and design a path that’s successful on paper, and more importantly sustainable and fulfilling.

  • All available in German or English.

    One individual coaching session

    • One session where we focus on you, your current situation and your goals.

    • You will walk away with a clear action plan of doable next steps to take and lots of inspiring food for thought.

What clients say

  • Aske, Technical Founder

    Liz gets the fast-paced world of tech and startups, which made it easy to explain my situations. She created a space where I could open up, and she managed to draw out insights I didn’t even know were there. The structured process helped me uncover lasting clarity, and I’ve felt more resilient and aligned with my values ever since. I’ll be coming back for more sessions!

  • Ramona, Project and Product Manager

    The coaching sessions with Lizanna came at just the right time: I was about to embark on a new challenge abroad and realign my life. Through our sessions, I gained a clearer view of my goals and strengths, recognized the big picture better and now know what I want to focus on and what the next steps are. Thank you so much, dear Lizanna, for your empathic and structured support - keep it up and see you soon!

  • Ran, Product Designer

    Working with Lizanna came at the perfect moment — I was torn between staying in full-time employment or venturing into self-employment. Through her thoughtful process, I uncovered valuable insights about my past choices and, more importantly, what kind of future I truly want. I left our sessions with clarity, confidence, and a sense of direction. Grateful for her support!

  • Dana, Bioinformatician

    I had coaching sessions with Liz to get some support during a big career change, and it exceeded my expectations. I came in with some doubts, not really knowing what to expect from coaching — but Liz made me feel at ease right away. She’s incredibly friendly, supportive, and easy to talk to. After our sessions, I feel more confident, less self-critical, and more focused. I walked away with a sense that I can use my natural strengths to move toward my goals — and that’s incredibly motivating. I am grateful for this experience and I highly recommend working with Liz!

  • Hanna, Data Scientist

    Liz is a very empathetic and competent coach who helped me identify and visualise my needs in terms of my ideal workplace in just one coaching session. She quickly got to know me and responded very sensitively to my individual situation. The coaching with Liz has given me much more clarity in my job search, and I now have a much better understanding of what is important to me in a job! (translated from German)
