Mag.a (FH) Silvia Faulhammer, MSc.

About me:

Born in Wels in 1975, I later grew up in Kuchl in Salzburger Land. In my very young years, I was very fond of acting, with small stage successes, and of painting, with a few paintings sold. Later, however, I found my “bread-and-butter job” in the hotel industry, where I also found my first professional home. But communication was always – and still is – my passion. And so I moved away from my first professional home to a new one, the PR & communications industry.

Today I am a consultant, trainer and coach.

What I stand for:

I am convinced that mutual understanding is the desire of all communication– and I dedicate myself to interpersonal communication processes in my training, consulting and coaching sessions.

As a big “fan” of nuances, even the quiet ones, I accompany the development of a sensorium for communication messages. I act as a communications consultant, trainer and coach for managers, support the development of self-management and self-leadership in leadership processes, use body language to make it possible to work without words and advise on optimizing leadership and team building.
