First you. Then the team. Then the business.

Dynamics

Action ends debate.

The Paula-Effect describes a familiar situation:

A room full of people is discussing.

Many perspectives, many arguments — but nothing moves forward.

Until someone says:

“Let’s try something new.”

That moment changes everything.
THREE-PART HARMONY

Courage, clarity, and kindness make the difference.

The Paula-Effect happens when three things come together:

Courage
— to take the first step.
Clarity — to recognize what truly matters.
Kindness — to bring others along.
DECISION

Leadership is a conscious choice.

It shows that leadership can emerge anywhere — regardless of position or title.

Leadership begins with a decision.

And the Paula-Effect describes the moment when leadership becomes visible.

The collaboration with Dr. Mareike Packmor was inspiring, enriching and always characterized by positive energy. She brought a breath of fresh air to our teams, provided valuable new impetus and impressed with her global perspective. Her open, motivating nature makes her a great addition to any organization.

Coaching with Mareike was a significant added value for my personal and professional development. She gave me valuable tools to make wise decisions in difficult situations and gave me perspectives that I would not have considered alone. Her courage to break new ground impressed me. As a Staff Captain with personnel responsibility, Mareike brought me to the next level, but as a private person I was also able to take a lot with me. It was a pleasure working with Mareike and I can only recommend her.

I was very lucky to be able to work with Mareike for several years. Always in a good mood, a friendly smile, supportive, motivating and, above all, incredibly good at training and coaching our customers. Whenever a customer was “difficult”, Mareike was taking over - that's when I just knew it would work. I was also able to learn a lot from her in personal dialogue, in particular about methodology and articulation. I would recommend her anytime!

The coaching sessions with Mareike were both professionally and personally an incredibly valuable experience. The work with the Inner Team was particularly fascinating and opened up entirely new perspectives for me. Her warm yet professional approach instantly builds trust and makes collaboration very pleasant. I highly recommend her coaching to all women who wish to develop further, either personally or professionally.

I got to know and appreciate Mareike during the selection and training for her job in the maritime sector. She approaches everything with a lot of commitment and freshness, is engaging and full of energy. Anyone who works with her is likely to be more inspired than before.

I had the pleasure to complete a great coaching session with Dr. Packmor on management. Her explanations are extremely comprehensible and are conveyed in a humorous but at the same time very professional way. I'm already looking forward to the next coaching session with her. Thank you so much for that.

Mareike Packmor was part of FactFinder's eCommerce consulting team and impressed not only with her expertise, but above all with her inspiring energy and infectious laugh. Her enthusiasm is really something special that has enriched the team. Working with Mareike not only gives you expertise, but also a great deal of motivation and team spirit!

Mareike is a real source of energy — always positive, inspiring and with an infectious spirit that brightens up even grey days. She has the rare gift of not only motivating people, but also giving them completely new food for thought with fresh perspectives. Anyone who talks to her often leaves the conversation with more ideas than they had before — and a big smile on their face!

Jens Kögler
Entrepreneur
Koegler Consulting

She was not only a great manager and supervisor, but also my tower of strength with her honest, direct nature and an energy that immediately grounded you. She always knew exactly what I needed, often before I knew it myself. Her experience and sense for people are priceless and her unique way of leading people and responding individually to everyone is admirable. I would work with her again anytime to continue learning from her experience.

Working with Mareike is like having a good coffee in the morning: invigorating, inspiring and simply great for the mood. Professionally top, humanly unbeatable and with a dose of humor, that makes stressful days easier. A colleague who I really enjoyed working with. Meeting her was and is a real asset for me!

Roman B.
Head of Food & Beverage
AIDA Cruises

The meetings with Mareike are always a great pleasure for me, as we are able to exchange ideas wonderfully in terms of content, expertise and also humanly/collegially.
In particular, her life-affirming, humorous and cheerful nature, her positive charisma and her contagious laugh create a very good atmosphere in which all topics can find their place. Through her impulses, new ideas grow.
