Junior HR Consultant @ E.ON
I had the opportunity to learn from Marion in the fields of organisational and personnel development. I was particularly impressed by the amount of practical knowledge she incorporated into her teaching. She always focused on ensuring that we could apply the content directly in our own companies. Consequently, her courses were educational and immediately valuable for our professional practice.
HR Business Partner | Rolling through HR with a focus on people, processes & diversity
Marion is an excellent coach and trainer who has provided our organisation with expert guidance on key leadership topics such as resilience, change management and communication on numerous occasions. I particularly appreciate her ability to combine theoretical knowledge with practical methods and tools. Her workshops are practical and well-founded, providing directly applicable ideas for everyday leadership. Working with Marion is professional and enjoyable. She works in a structured manner, responds quickly and knows how to address individual customer needs. Consequently, her formats are always targeted and tailor-made — and correspondingly effective. Thank you, Marion, for always being such a great colleague!

I am inspired by Marion's leadership and drive. Not only did she build up the HR influencer community in Austria, she also united it and committed it to common goals. She allowed it to grow and flourish, and she did all this through [...] a) empathetic yet clearly structured leadership of the first 50, and then 30, strong personalities, each with their own wishes and goals. b) great marketing collaborations that gave us all plenty of exposure. c) Clear strategies for joint positioning. Thank you so much, Marion!

She always made sure that each employee had access to the right programme or coach when needed, focusing on sustainable development. During joint training sessions, she complemented my character wonderfully and was a highly competent colleague who knew how to motivate the group and convey content with a touch of humour. I look forward to continuing our excellent collaboration, Marion!

“Those who combine vision with execution succeed.”
How can you approach and engage with people in a straightforward and appropriate way? If you want to find out, talk to Marion. I met her at a team-building event and was impressed by her ability to engage with different personalities and integrate them into the change process. Her positive and constructive attitude to life makes her an excellent mentor and coach. I look forward to working with Marion on future projects.
Interim Manager, Consultant, Business Owner, Senior HR Manager
Marion joined us on an exciting journey. Our task was to deliver digital leadership training focusing on difficult employee discussions. A challenge of digital training is always keeping people engaged in the virtual space and encouraging active participation. Marion embraced this challenge brilliantly, as well as the adventure of working with the latest technology solutions, such as a Cisco Spark board for highly interactive video transmission, Cisco Webex with breakout rooms for small group work, and videos and Mentimeter surveys. Our managers gave us very positive feedback – they appreciated Marion's competence, energy and creativity. This was a valuable addition to our toolbox. It was important to me to have a trainer with years of leadership experience who had already supported numerous change projects. Since Marion successfully built a solid foundation of trust within the team, we will certainly be collaborating on more projects in the future.

During my time at Paysafe, she consistently embodied her role as a role model, bringing a great deal of fun and humanity to the workplace. She helps the organisation move forward by providing innovative ideas and professional coaching to managers and employees.

Marion was a great colleague at Paysafe, always supporting me with HR issues to my complete satisfaction. She was extremely helpful in finding new employees and developing their skills. She was also an excellent coach for my personal development. I hope to work with her again in the future.
Chief Financial Officer, UK Hub at RX Global
During her tenure at LexisNexis Austria, I partnered closely with Marion in my role as Finance Director. She always struck me as someone who could perform at the highest professional level with ease, while taking a level-headed, pragmatic approach to the many tasks and challenges she was responsible for. Furthermore, Marion was well-liked by our employees and well-respected by her peers and superiors. She found a balance between supporting our teams and understanding their needs and concerns, while also relentlessly driving the business forward. I have yet to see another HR professional exhibit such drive and passion for success. Marion played a key role in helping the Senior Leadership Team become true leaders. She remained unfazed in the face of resistance to change, firmly believing that it is not only important to do things right, but also to do the right things. Anyone who worked with Marion was lucky to have done so – she was a great leader in the truest sense of the word, being self-motivated, having strong underlying integrity, and being a wonderful human being overall. On a personal level, I remember Marion as being great fun, highly energetic and with a lovely sense of humour. I look back fondly on the time we spent together at LexisNexis, and I wish her all the very best for her future endeavours!
Managing Director, Finance & Administration at Tradeplace; Director of Sales Operations Europe at TP Vision
I had the pleasure of working with Marion and her colleague, Maria Schumann, during a two-day team workshop. The experience was truly transformative. Our team comes from all corners of Europe and works in a hybrid setup. We had been facing challenges around communication, collaboration and leadership conflict. Marion and Maria created a safe and engaging space in which we could connect, reflect and grow. Through personalised Insights Potential Analyses, direct feedback and a variety of interactive activities, including role plays and improv theatre, they helped us to gain a better understanding of ourselves and each other. The result? More trust. More clarity. A stronger team. We left the workshop feeling empowered to address difficult topics and collaborate more effectively. Thank you, Marion, for your professionalism, empathy and energy. You made a real difference!

As an HR consultant, I help companies develop HR strategies aligned with their business objectives. I focus on sustainable organisational development, employer branding, and leadership development to create motivated teams and ensure long-term success in an ever-changing world of work.
Strategic human resource management ensures that personnel decisions measurably contribute to the company's success. It strengthens the employer brand, reduces staff turnover, and boosts employee motivation and satisfaction, whether your company operates in the UK, the DACH region, or internationally.
Coaching is a personalised, solution-focused process. Unlike training courses, which impart knowledge and are usually group-based, coaching involves supporting managers or teams in developing their own solutions and overcoming challenges with confidence.
If you come to me with a specific concern, you will receive targeted recommendations, ideas and strategies that you can implement immediately.
I work with companies, HR departments and executives in Vienna, the DACH region, the EU and the United Kingdom who want to shape their culture, communication and leadership in a forward-thinking way.
Thanks to my international experience and excellent English skills, I am able to support organisations in person or remotely, ranging from local SMEs to global corporations.
Employer branding is the strategic positioning of a company as an attractive employer. Together, we will develop an authentic employer brand that will attract skilled workers, help you to retain employees, and strengthen your corporate culture in the long term.
We strengthen values, communication and cohesion through targeted analysis, workshops and coaching. The result is a motivating corporate culture that fosters enthusiasm and innovation.
Following an introductory meeting, during which we will discuss your goals and challenges, we will analyse them together. Next, we will create a bespoke plan for you, offering anything from individual coaching to team workshops and strategic HR consulting.
Topics such as 'New Work', blending work and life, leading hybrid teams, and using AI in HR are currently shaping the world of work. In the long term, companies that actively embrace these trends will remain successful and attractive to talent.
Yes, I regularly run interactive workshops on topics such as change management, resilience, leadership, communication, and brand ambassadorship. You can find dates and details in the 'Events' section.
You can contact me directly by email at marion@hr-passionista.com or by telephone on +43 676 924 8299. Alternatively, you can use the contact form on my website to arrange an introductory meeting.
Together, we can establish whether I am the right person to meet your needs, or I can introduce you to someone in my network who is a better fit.
Feel free to send me a direct message or book an initial meeting right away.
I look forward to getting to know you and understanding your requirements!
