As a trainer, facilitator, and innovation coach, Tina Dreisicke has built her career at the intersection of education sciences, agile methods, and entrepreneurship. From Design Thinking to co-founding her own firm, and including her work as an innovation consultant for European clients, she brings something rare to every session: a rigor grounded in real-world experience.
Throughout my career, I have always moved between two worlds: the academic and the applied. My background combines educational science with real-world experience in organisational change, innovation, and facilitation.
I started out as a Design Thinking coach and workshop facilitator early in my career, co-moderating sessions, designing learning formats, and even co-authoring an e-book for trainers. I then joined launchlabs GmbH as an Innovation Consultant and Agile Coach, where I contributed to change programmes and agile transformation projects for corporate clients across Europe.
Alongside this, I co-founded mevolute GmbH, a practice dedicated to helping individuals and teams develop agile mindsets, combining training, coaching, and consulting in international environments.
I work primarily with interactive, participatory, and experiential formats: Design Thinking, Lean Startup, prototyping (including low-fidelity and playful formats inspired by Lego Serious Play), workshop-based learning, visual facilitation and storytelling, reflection and feedback formats, and peer learning exercises.
I facilitate workshops, learning journeys, training modules, and facilitated team sessions, in groups ranging from 6 to 30 participants, including multi-stakeholder and interdisciplinary groups. My biggest crowd so far was around 200 people, where I combined moderation and public speaking for inspirational purposes.
My typical audiences include team leads and middle managers, innovation managers and project leads, employees involved in change or transformation initiatives, facilitators and trainers in upskilling programmes, and startup founders and founding teams.
I decided to collaborate with NUMA because it feels like a very natural fit in terms of both content quality and facilitation approach. The typically short, focused (around 2-hour) online sessions align perfectly with how I like to work: interactive, engaging, and centered around meaningful exchange rather than one-way input.
I particularly value the opportunity to work with international clients across different industries, which continuously challenges and enriches my own perspective as a facilitator.
What I enjoy most is acting as a bridge between contexts — bringing NUMA’s international (often French-influenced) content into German-speaking environments in a way that feels relevant and accessible. Overall, I appreciate the diversity of projects, the high level of professionalism, and the openness participants bring — it makes the collaboration both inspiring and enjoyable.
I draw strongly on my experience across innovation consulting, higher education, and applied learning environments to make learning both relevant and relatable. I often bring in real situations from my work with teams, founders, and students — especially moments of uncertainty, failed assumptions, or unexpected insights — to illustrate that learning and progress are rarely linear.
Rather than presenting myself as the “expert with answers,” I consciously show up as a role model for learning: I am transparent about not knowing, I admit mistakes, and I openly reflect in the moment. I check in with participants, share when I’m not having the best day, and create space for honesty on all sides. This helps lower barriers and invites participants to engage more authentically.
I actively appreciate contributions, invite participants to challenge my perspective, and deliberately seek out different viewpoints — especially when tensions arise. I see these moments not as disruptions, but as valuable learning opportunities. This combination of real-world experience, openness, and shared exploration helps create trust, relevance, and deeper engagement.
For me, a successful training is not defined by how much content is delivered, but by whether meaningful learning and connection happen.
The key lies in creating a space where participants feel safe, involved, and genuinely curious. This means shifting from a “trainer-centered” approach to a facilitated learning experience, where participants actively contribute, reflect, and make sense of what they are doing.
What makes a session truly impactful is the combination of:
As a trainer, my role is to hold this space, guide the process, and adapt to what emerges — rather than following a fixed script.
A core element in almost all of my trainings is working with structured check-ins and check-outs.
I usually start sessions with a short check-in where participants share how they arrive — for example, their current state of mind, expectations, or energy level. This helps create presence, builds connection within the group, and allows me to better adapt the session to the participants’ needs.
I always aim to close with a check-out, even if time is tight. In its simplest form, each participant shares one key takeaway. This supports reflection, helps anchor learning, and gives everyone a sense of closure.
Another aspect participants often notice is my strong time awareness — I tend to manage sessions in a very structured way and reliably finish on time. I do this by staying flexible throughout the session and adjusting depth or pace where needed, without losing the overall flow.
At the same time, I consciously create space for participants to work independently. For example, during breakout sessions, I often choose not to join rooms to allow for privacy, openness, and more authentic exchange.
Overall, my approach combines structure and clarity with trust and space for participants to take ownership of their learning.
My first 3D-printed object, an astronaut figure symbolising my dream of visiting space in my next life! Two quotes on pink post-its: “Today is a good day to think outside the box!” next to “Mut ist ein Muskel” (Courage is a Muscle). And two books that formed the basis of my master's degree at the university: Frithjof Bergmann’s “New Work, New Culture” and Frederic Laloux’s “Reinventing Organizations”.
