The Founders
As founders and long-standing business partners of HanseCoaching BeratungsContor, our different personalities, life paths, and professional experiences complemented each other perfectly for almost two decades. After a long career, Angela Feldhusen retired from active work at the end of 2024. Her unique qualities, creative ideas, and approaches continue to inspire our work.
Our team consists of experienced, multilingual, and independent colleagues. Depending on the need, we bring in additional people from our network.
Mutual Appreciation and Connection
ANGELA FELDHUSEN
MARC WIDUCH ABOUT ANGELA FELDHUSEN
“Angela Feldhusen and I share many years of intense and varied encounters – first, almost two decades ago, as her client, and ever since as her business partner and longtime friend. I know Angela as an extraordinary personality: authentic, reliable, unconventional, persistent, warm-hearted, tenacious, a natural leader – and, with the experience of an incredible number of projects, inspiring time and again. In a unique and empathetic way, she combines genuine appreciation for people with pragmatic solutions when guiding change processes. Angela is a true northerner, born and raised in Altona, the heart of Hamburg. Married to an equally unique lawyer, a passionate mother, grandmother, stepmother, and godmother in a colorful blended family, she lives in the most beautiful spots of the Hanseatic region. Whatever she does, she does with passion – whenever possible with one foot in the Baltic Sea: reading, gardening, cooking, exploring, cherishing friendships, and much more. Living against the grain – with all the senses!
Angela’s personality and her wealth of experience in working with people in change processes also rest on an eventful life. In Bremen, she earned a degree in social pedagogy with a focus on adult education. She then worked as an education officer in trade union education and later established key initiatives for the City of Bremen – including an initiative against neo-fascism, a concept for lifelong learning, and adult education programs for specific professions. Her inner attitude was shaped by a wide range of roles and responsibilities – working with at-risk youth in anthroposophic institutions, as a private-duty sitter in intensive care units, as a teacher in Kiel and Bremen, and as a leader in the public sector and in independent welfare organizations. Angela has a special talent for designing and delivering development programs for employees, managers, and executives. Over the years, she has accompanied many thousands of people in a wide variety of companies and at every level of the hierarchy on part of their development journey – and to this day she bursts with energy, curiosity, and creativity in developing new approaches, learning experiences, and ways of bringing people together. Until we founded HanseCoaching BeratungsContor, Angela spent several years heading, shaping, and expanding the in-house division of the Akademie für Führungskräfte der Wirtschaft GmbH (a leading German executive academy).
For me, working with Angela was a joy, an inspiration, and a challenge – combined with a great deal of fun in working with people together. Sometimes at full speed and sometimes with exuberant slowness – and always with a fine sense for unusual paths to what lies hidden.”
MARC WIDUCH
ANGELA FELDHUSEN ABOUT MARC WIDUCH
“My former client, my friend, and later my business partner Marc Widuch was born in the wild days of 1968. A Hamburg native through and through, he had the courage, as a northern German, to move to Bavaria – to the beautiful city of Munich. His wife and two children make his life there a truly happy one. In Munich, the far north, the sea air, and northern German humor sometimes feel very far away for him.
Much of his education took place in the north. Growing up in Hamburg, he often changed homes and schools and eventually studied in Flensburg – though he describes it more as a distance-learning degree, since he was hardly ever there. Even back then, there was his “FaszinationPianola” – his fascination with player pianos: he combined his studies in computer engineering and telecommunications with a busy piano trade. This fascination has never let go of him.
Siemens, where he worked for more than 13 years, was the most important stage of his career. Marc is a corporate strategist who can both build and untangle complex structures at national and international level. His work for Siemens earned him great recognition in Germany and abroad, because it has always combined a sharp mind, a cheeky sense of humor, and a deep interest in helping people grow.
At the same time, Marc is pragmatic and down-to-earth. How else could he have spent years as managing director of a family-owned sailmaking business while also owning a piano business and being a partner in HanseCoaching BeratungsContor?
We share a love of enjoying the very early morning – for me with a coffee in the garden, for Marc now and then with friends and golf clubs on the course. Rarely have I met anyone who is at home in so many different fields of business with so much passion.
I enjoyed working with Marc and am grateful for our many years together at the Contor, because I find it wonderful, in these sometimes rough business times and worlds, to have a partner at my side who shares his knowledge with others with wisdom, warmth, and respect.”
