Empowerment is a very topical subject for many people. Particularly in business coaching for managers, and especially for women in management positions, topics such as self-empowerment and autonomy are important buzzwords on the career ladder to the top. Empowerment means using strategies and methods to increase the degree of one's own independence and self-determination or that of a community or team. In this way, interests can be represented independently, under one's own responsibility and with one's own motivation. These strategies are implemented independently in processes or can be supported by a professional coach in empowerment coaching. People who have gone through this process no longer feel as powerless and uninfluential in their position as before, because they have learned to recognize and use their resources as well as their creative options. The topic has long since found its way into the business world and can be found in various management concepts. If an entire organization opts for an empowerment process, the individual employees will be more involved so that they can carry out their work independently and on their own responsibility. This requires a high level of willingness on the part of individuals at all hierarchical levels to delegate and take on responsibility. This requires a culture of trust, flat hierarchies, good communication and appropriate skills. In this context, participation is a buzzword that we often hear in social work, politics and business. Participation encourages commitment, personal responsibility, thinking and co-decision-making. People who feel they are taken seriously, recognize and represent their own interests, are allowed to contribute ideas and have a say in decisions are more committed and motivated - whether at work, in a community or in their private lives.

The aim of empowerment coaching is to reactivate resources and skills in order to achieve solution-oriented self-determination. Existing, possibly hidden potential is strengthened and the solution work becomes more effective. The target group for empowerment coaching is basically anyone who realizes that they would like to regain their own power and autonomy in order to achieve their professional or private goals.
