Professor Maik Schneider Professor
Member of the University of Bath internal coaching network.
Role
Maik's professional role has involved mentoring − in particular early career researchers − for many years. He qualified as a coach in 2018. To date, most of his coaching experience has been external to the University and includes coaching related to leadership roles, career progression/change and work-life balance. Maik became a member of the internal coaching network in 2021.
Maik's approach to coaching centres around everyone (and every team) being unique in their personality and experiences. Everyone will embark on their own journey to discover and develop their potential to achieve their goals − whether that’s in relation to a new leadership role, effective communication or building greater resilience. He is passionate about guiding and supporting this process as a coach.
