ABOUT ME
Profile
Hi, I'm Susanne Herz —
People who know me well describe me as resilient, energetic, and enthusiastic. I've held many roles and taken many perspectives — and that's exactly what makes me strong today: broad knowledge of people, organizations, and leadership, and above all a very good understanding of myself.
My path
After my business degree with a focus on HR, I built expertise in recruiting, talent selection, and talent management in an international context in Luxembourg: as an external consultant, project manager in consulting, and leader in a corporation. Over the years, I deliberately furthered my training in career counseling, coaching, and training to round out the whole picture. All of this — and the contacts and network I've developed over the years — I still actively maintain today. They're part of what I bring to my work.
BACKGROUND
Inside and outside perspective
Susanne Herz is the owner of HERZ Karriereberatung & Coaching in Trier-Ost. She offers career counseling, coaching, outplacement, team development, and workshops on-site in Trier and Luxembourg as well as online (DE · EN · FR).
Inside and outside perspective
For over 13 years now, I've been working independently. Exactly this combination is my advantage today: I know the corporate world from the inside and have been looking at it from the outside with a trained eye for many years. For my clients, that's gold — I know what I'm talking about without still being in the middle of it myself.
My approach
What I missed in large structures was the individual view of each person. That's exactly why I work the way I work today: close, as equals, without off-the-shelf programs.
I love good conversations — with clients just as much as with myself. I read a lot, am interested in new topics, and never stop learning. From every conversation, every book, I take something — and gladly share what I'm currently learning. It's with this openness that I meet my clients: I want to know what attitude someone brings to life, what drives them — and meet them exactly where they are.
Personal life
In my personal life, things are pleasantly calm: my day starts long before the family wakes up — my quiet morning hour with green tea is sacred to me. Recharging means spending time in nature with my husband and our four-legged friends. And no, it doesn't get boring that quickly — two energetic teenagers and an occasionally over-motivated herding dog make sure of that.
