Hey, I’m Jochen Nünning!
I am a Facilitator, Educator and Team Coach fascinated by the future of work and radical ways of working better together—with more connection, collaboration, creativity, and fun.
I am based in Berlin and work both locally and globally in German and English.
—Currently, I am taking a career break until September 2025—
For four years, I worked as a freelance facilitator and team coach, where I guided the transformation of the wonderful team of Forum ViA towards self-organization in a remote work environment.
I was also part of the academic program team at the HPI d–school (formerly known as the School of Design Thinking) in the role of a Design Thinking Coach and Program Lead. I empowered students and professionals from around the globe to build their creative confidence by learning to design life-centered solutions on complex challenges that have a lasting impact in companies, non-profit organizations, or governmental institutions.
Beyond Design Thinking, my facilitation approach is grounded in the principles of collective leadership, Nonviolent Communication (Marshall B. Rosenberg), and a range of participatory practices. I’ve picked up—and shamelessly stole—many of these methods through hands-on experience in inspiring projects and by learning from some of the best. Communities around The Art of Hosting Conversations That Matter, The Loop Approach, Theory U, Liberating Structures, Systemic Coaching, and Visual Facilitation have all played a big part in shaping my practice.
Currently I am in founding process of a side-project of mine: The Job Dojo, a project to empower people to find work in environments where they can truly thrive. The Job Dojo is a learning space for career (re-)orientation and unconventional job search approaches that don’t rely on traditional applications. It offers practical tools to navigate today’s job market and discover opportunities aligned with each person’s skills, knowledge, interests, values, and needs—empowering them working and being at their best. Soft launch is planned for late summer 2025.
