About Me
Executive Coach, Speaker, and Inspiration for Mindfulness in Business
With a strong entrepreneurial background and Spirit — my parents ran a shoe store in Münster — I quickly climbed the career ladder after completing my studies. At the Swedish fashion company H&M, I grew from being a manager to a leader responsible for 1,700 employees and a nine-figure revenue.
As a counterbalance to my fast-paced professional life, I discovered yoga and completed a Kundalini Yoga teacher training alongside my job. After 23 years, I turned off the lights in my office for the last time and embarked on an 800 km pilgrimage — a journey of self-discovery.
Today, as a certified Executive Coach, I help companies and leaders navigate their transformation processes with courage, humanity, and success.
Client Testimonials
As a hotel and restaurant business, we put our employees first. Jutta positioned us perfectly to harness the strength of our team, especially at the leadership level, by contributing to its development. Through her empathetic coaching, we collaboratively developed the elements of personnel development and strengthened leadership. What sets Jutta apart is her sensitivity to keeping the product offering and brand positioning in focus. Her extensive HR experience translated into professional actions that we, as a mid-sized company with 50 employees, leveraged strategically in all areas.
Meik-M. Lindberg
Managing Director
Our team rediscovered and restructured itself through Jutta's coaching. The time spent together in nature and Jutta's insights helped us gain clarity, see things from different perspectives, and better reflect on our current situation. Thank you, Jutta!
Sara Kwon
Area Management Team
Booking you for our team was the best decision I’ve made. This workshop was an incredible experience for the entire team, which was newly formed. The outdoor component challenged us mentally and physically, but the resource reset at the end of the day made it all worthwhile. Jutta helped my team and me build a strong foundation for upcoming projects. Thank you, Jutta!
Anne Pralle
Head of Marketing
Our team Off-Site, including a strategy meeting, took place in the Harz Mountains, surrounded by nature. With Jutta Stern from The Nature Works, we experienced energy and clarity in the forest. Even her dog, Toni, was part of the team 😅 (after ensuring it was okay with everyone). Thank you for adapting so well to us and activating our resources. Jutta perfectly addressed our wishes while intuitively knowing what the team needed most at the moment. Everything was just right and incredibly valuable. Thank you! We highly recommend Jutta.

Values & Philosophy
From my experience as an entrepreneur and leader, I know that company growth is tied to personal growth. Business can be enjoyable, and success is achievable with an attitude of ease. Personal development requires courage and the willingness to carve out your authentic path. As a source of inspiration, I bridge the gap between business and mindfulness.
The best Leader they can possibly have is the one that looks back at them from the mirror. So they have to understand that mirror very well. And then, that person can lead.
