Sophie von Schierstaedt

Sophie von Schierstaedt, the youngest of seven siblings, has always had a keen eye for observation. From an early age, this skill became the foundation of her thinking and approach. Over time, she recognized systems and patterns everywhere and developed a strong desire not only to observe but also to shape them.

Today, Sophie helps individuals and companies move from observation to action, believing that joyful and healthy agency is essential. As a team player, she continually witnesses the transformative power of collaborative thinking and creation.

Through her consultancy, Schierstaedt Consulting, Sophie clears the clutter, reorganizes, and creates space for what truly matters. As a sparring partner, she brings a wide range of expertise and experience from various sectors, including:

• Registered consultant for the BAFA program "Support for Business Consulting for SMEs" (Consultant ID: #208475)

• Digitalization expert for Stiftung Bildung

• Experienced in youth mentoring

• Certified Change Manager

• Long-standing leadership and development consultant in both corporate and non-profit sectors

• Jurist in comparative law (LLM)

Sophie’s work is grounded in scientific research, ranging from John Kotter’s Change Management process to Luhmann’s systems theory and brain function studies. She focuses on a human-centered approach in a rapidly digitalizing world, seeing it as an opportunity to reimagine human living spaces.

With a deep appreciation for the diversity of life, people, technology, and challenges, Sophie is committed to fostering a harmonious relationship between humans and technology.
