TL;DR
Who I am and what I do
I’m Salome Keller, an independent strategy consultant and systemic coach from Stuttgart, Germany. As a curious explorer and quick thinker with a soft spot for big, complex challenges, I am at my best working in these areas:
- Strategy, leadership and organisational development
- Coaching, training and team building
- User experience, design thinking and innovation
I feel equally at home in the worlds of coaching, psychology and business, wherever something new is emerging or something established is transforming in organisations. People tell me this mix is my superpower: a clear human compass, a knack for connecting psychology and business, and a holistic perspective shaped by experience across different roles, industries and functions.
How others describe me

What makes me, me
Impact through mindset
I meet others with openness, curiosity and warmth. I listen deeply, keep my word and dare to speak up about uncomfortable truths. In all this, respect, honesty and fairness are non-negotiable for me. What drives me is searching for the why, understanding how everything connects, finding good solutions and spreading lightness and optimism.
Dual expertise
My speciality is connecting approaches from psychology and business. I hold an academic degree in psychology, am a certified systemic consultant and coach (personal and organisational development), and am currently in training as a transactional analysis counsellor. I’m also a Design Thinking Coach, certified UX Specialist, Project Manager, Scrum Product Owner, LINC Personality Profiler Coach (personality testing) and INQA-Coach (publicly funded digitalisation coaching for SMEs). I love learning new things, and I love even more making what I’ve learned useful in different contexts.
23+ years in practice
From corporates to start-ups, from consulting to the public sector, I’ve worked across various industries and functions. My takeaway: everything is connected and everything starts with the human. Healthy organisations need trust and self-reflection. A clear vision, strategy and roadmap channel energy in the right direction. Customer insights from UX, sales and support boost innovation, product development and marketing. And corporate culture is the magic enabler to get things moving.

The common thread in my life
Humans.
Humans have always fascinated me. What shapes them, what makes them who they are, what drives them. No wonder I studied psychology!
My joy in creating things led me into business. With UX and Design Thinking, I could combine exploring needs with developing innovative solutions. And with systemic transformation coaching, I make it easier for others to adopt these new ways of working in their day-to-day.
Today, my work spans from individuals and their personal development to organisational development. And it makes me happy because, at its core, it’s always about the ones who matter most to me: humans.
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lie our growth and our freedom.
