1:1 Walk & Talk in the Berliner Late Summer.
In personalised 1:1 sessions, I support people like you, who are at a crossroads, who are in career transitions.
I use a mix of methods I collected over the last decades: elements of coaching, project management and reflection. Thanks to my extensive experience on the German labour market, I can share specific tips and insights. You can benefit from my connection to various networks and communities working on social and environmental sustainability. I bring a pinch of Eastern European self-irony: sixteen years about could not take the Hungarian out of me!
Would you like to land a (new) job in Germany? Do you struggle confidently presenting yourself in your CV?
Do you feel stuck and unsure what to do? Would you like to gain clarity and overcome the numbness?
Are you about to finish university? Would you like to land your first job and figure out what suits you best?
Are you ready to start your own project? Do you want to give your side hustle a chance?
You book a 20-min free non-binding online call where you can already tell me about the main challenge or question you are facing. I will confirm the time of the booking shortly after you schedule it.
In the discovery call,
We both introduce ourselves,
You can elaborate on your challenge and we try to understand what your current goal is.
Many clients come with the following goals: "I am unhappy in my current job. I want to find a new direction, what should be the next job or field for me to work in?" or "I have been unsuccessful in applying for jobs. I want to land a job in field X." or "My job bores and drains me at the same time. I want to find a way to meaningfully make an impact."
Your goal might be similar or completely different.
We assess if I am the right fit for you. Your challenge might lie outside my expertise or capacity. In this case, I will recommend someone from my network who might be a better fit.
If you decide that I am the right fit for your current challenge, we will talk about logistics matters.
You do not have make a final decision during the discovery call.
Price: I use a sliding scale.
€40-100 per session, depending on your income.
You will be able to pick your range during the Discovery Call. You do not have to share your income; just keep it fair.
Yes, it is a wide range. I work with people at different stages in their careers and living in different countries. I want to keep my services affordable.
There is a 15% discount if you book 5 sessions up front.
Is this out of your price range?
I was lost and needed help many times in my life. And I'm endlessly grateful for people who supported me in those moments. If money is an issue for you, let's talk! I am also open to trading skills & time.
Join my reflection events! These are available at different prices as well.
Subscribe to my newsletter. I share seasonal offers and, every now and then, you can enter a lottery where I reward the winner with a free session.
Within 24 hours after our Discovery Call, you will receive an email from me with the following content:
A list of the questions and topics we can work on in our sessions. You can review some topics in the service description:
Conditions of our sessions. These include:
60-min online session, unless we agree otherwise.
Means of communication (primarily email, Google Sheet/Doc for easier collaboration).
The number of sessions: one, three, five or more.
The date by which the final session should take place. You choose your pace.
Price and payment conditions (one sum or installments).
You can review the topics and conditions, and we can still make adjustments.
Then we can start straight away!
I will send you an invoice, according to what we agreed on.
No hard feelings, no consequences. Let's only work together if it is the right time and the right person.
Instead, we can stay in touch via newsletter or LinkedIn, and you can contact me in the future. Or not.
We can meet once or twice a month, depending on the pace you need.
The sessions are often a conversation, depending on your case.
I might be asking questions (some easy, some deep, some awkward, some weird...).
I might lead you on an imaginary journey, to the past or to the future.
I might share my experience on a certain dilemma or situation.
I might listen and guide you to more clarity.
We definitely discuss your learnings and insights from the exercises between sessions.
We can together reprioritise topics and tasks, if it is necessary.
Yes, there are exercises between sessions, so that we can make the most of our shared synchronous time.
You decide how much time you spend on these activities and when you do them. Naturally, the more focus you put into it, the more you get out of it.
You will share the result/overview/details of these exercises. For most of them, your personalised Google Sheets will work, but you can also send me a PDF or photo of your notes.
If you do not want to work on such exercises, that is up to you, but our time will be less effective.
Follow-up after each session: a quick check-in to assess how the session was. On the one hand, as easy feedback if you want something to be adjusted. On the other hand, a recap of what you want to work on before our next session.
One month after our last 60-min session, we will meet again for a short call.
We use this time for feedback, to discuss open questions and to see how we want to stay in touch.

What to expect?
The 1:1 walk & talk is exactly as it says on the cover. We will meet close to a park and go for a walk. We will walk 4-6km depending on our pace, the weather and our mood.
During the walk, we will explore your current challenge, look at it from a new perspective, discuss scenarios and solutions, imagine a different future and much more. You can benefit both from the magic of processing dilemmas while walking and from my questions and experience.
You will walk away with a lighter -figurative- backpack and actionable items to approach your challenge.
You do not have to worry about the route. Just let your thoughts and emotions come.
As it is a new concept, I will be asking for your feedback after our session.
What can we talk about?
Any career-related dilemma that is keeping you up at night.
Are you unemployed and feel overwhelmed by it?
Do you feel bored or burned out in your current role?
Are you looking for more impact in your work or outside of it?
Do you need a break, just not sure how to arrange it?
Are you hesitating between two (or more) options?
Do you want to start on the path of solopreneurship?

"The 1-hour session with Eszter provided me with new input on how I can approach the search for a new job and what aspects I want to focus on. It helped me organize my way of going about the next steps."
Franka from Germany / Human rights sector
"I have had the pleasure of attending an insightful and empowering consultation session with Eszter. She is a great listener and answers all questions in an informative manner. Our session helped me to navigate through my career goals and explore options I hadn't considered before especially how to tackle the transferable skills which I have always had an issue with personally out of being not great at self advertising."
Murjana living in Germany
“I want to say thank you again the time, assistance, and patience you've extended to me. During our meeting, I was quite nervous, and the breathing technique you suggested was helpful. 😃
Your perspective has given me a valuable glimpse into the mindset of a German employer. Actually now I feel very motivated to do better and enhance myself, my skills, my abilities in many domains, and absolutely I am committed to refining my CV and LinkedIn profile based on your review and suggestions. Thank you once again for your invaluable support. 😄"
