My Red Couch Talk with Anke Berning

Anke Berning is a Business and Life Coach who isn’t afraid of the cold—literally or figuratively. From the snowy slopes of Hokkaido, Japan, to the high-stakes world of Zurich wealth management, Anke has spent her career “intermediating” between cultures. Today, she combines her analytical background with a holistic coaching approach, helping women in leadership find their “Red Thread” without burning out.
In our talk, we dive into the intersection of Human Touch and Artificial Intelligence, exploring how AI is not just a tool for efficiency, but a “career booster” for women in the modern workplace.
✨ The Wealth Management Pivot: How Anke transitioned from finance to coaching while maintaining her “loyalty” to her roots and her analytical rigor.
✨ The “Elsa” of Coaching: A fun look at Anke’s fascination with winter climates and how her time in Japan shaped her intercultural perspective.
✨ AI as a Career Booster: Insights from her upcoming SIETAR webinar and her collaboration with Bau Nguyen in Berlin on using AI responsibly in coaching.
✨ Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic: Why women often prioritize values over salary—and how to balance both for a sustainable, healthy career.
✨ Executive Presence: Why a holistic approach (mental + physical well-being) is the only way to avoid the “burnout trap” in leadership.
