Business Coach, Team Coach & Mediator
in Munich
KAOS stands for Katrin Ostermeier - and for chaos as a source of possibilities and potential. Supporting teams in their growth and development is something I truly care about.
I help teams unlock their potential and resources, uncover and resolve barriers or sources of conflict, and strengthen their team spirit with intention and focus.
As a trained mediator, I can confidently guide even demanding and tense situations.
I coach teams indoors and outdoors — in mountain chalets, in nature, or in a classic worhshop room; in Munich and directly at my clients’ workplaces; in person, virtual, and hybrid - in German and English.
How I shape my Team Coachings
I design my team coachings like a pit stop: we pause, step back, and look at collaboration from the outside. Together we create a safe space where contributions and perspectives can be seen and discussed openly.
New perspectives help teams appreciate their diversity and better integrate the unique strengths of each member — fostering understanding and mutual respect.
And just as important: it can be fun! Playful elements make team dynamics tangible and invite shared reflection.
My team coachings are always tailor-made. Working with an external coach brings clarity, avoids role conflicts (for example, within leadership), and creates space to address key issues so that collaboration becomes both more effective and enjoyable.
My Philosophy: Understanding Chaos as an opportunity
For me, chaos isn’t a threat — it’s a powerful source of energy. It sparks movement, uncovers hidden talents, and inspires new ideas. The real art is finding a living balance between chaos and order — staying flexible, curious, and forward-looking.
Chaos simply means a state of confusion and lack of order — the opposite of cosmos, or harmony. KAOS stands for both: the ability to bring order into chaos and build new structures, and the courage to shake up old patterns so fresh perspectives and new connections can emerge.
In a working world that is constantly changing, teams need the ability to navigate uncertainty and realign themselves again and again. Team coaching helps build these skills: it creates a safe space to surface tensions, connect different perspectives, and find shared direction.
In this way, chaos doesn’t become an obstacle but an opportunity for growth, creativity, and collaboration. When teams learn to see change not as a threat but as an invitation, they develop resilience — and from diversity and dynamism, real strength emerges.

What the KAOS-clients say:
“Teamwork is an essential element of police work. KAOS has been instrumental in helping us expand our teamwork to extend cooperation with external partners. Despite language and cultural differences, we have succeeded in initiating a trend-setting prevention project with refugees.”
"Since the company was founded in 2014, KAOS has been an indispensable partner who supports us in every step of our development. Our annual team coaching is always a highlight, where we develop personally and as a team. This is mainly due to the structured and equally personable approach of our favorite coach, Katrin."
„Thank you for helping this team unlock a situation that seemed hopeless. Your level of empathy, your capacity to listen and read systems without judgement is very impressive. You are excellent at what you do and I have learned a lot looking at you. Keep your heart warm and open, it makes this world a better place!"
"I have valued the collaboration with Katrin and the KAOS team for many years. I do team coaching with KAOS several times a year with my team. Especially in a startup like UNIO, the team is the most important and valuable asset for the success of the company."
"First impressions count - Katrin Ostermeier is a first-class, empathetic and loyal moderator for our key management onboarding events, who guides our new colleagues through 3 days and represents Korian Germany. We would also like to thank her for the wonderful and developing feedbacks for our internal lecturer relationships. Excellent communication skills are one of Katrin's top talents."
"The outcome of our virtual team coaching workshops was excellent, in some cases even better than in person. In addition to the professional excellence of the trainer, this also requires good technical preparation and practiced handling of the technology during the coaching. Both are the case with Katrin Ostermeier. Another advantage: the organization and logistics of the events were much more time-saving in comparison.”
"For me, employee development and team coaching are key to company success. After team days or individual coaching with Katrin from KAOS, we feel like we have more power and positive energy in the company. Thank you for the great support!"
"Katrin is not only a first-class moderator, but also an inspiring source of inspiration. Her ability to manage creative group processes has helped us to release potential and use collective intelligence. Her coaching is flexible and accurate - exactly what we need to be even more successful with enna in the future."
"For me, coaching works best on a concrete case. The external 1:1 coaching at KAOS is the perfect tool for me when I'm stuck in a dead end - Katrin is extremely flexible and gives me the right impulses for every question."
"Once again, a big compliment! Your moderation, commitment and especially your personality made the event fly. I really enjoyed following your moderation."
"KAOS are one of the best I have ecountered!
Exhausting, yes... But very effective.
In 15 years at Airbus, I have never had this level of connection with my colleagues, also considering that it is a team with 4 different locations!!!
Now yes, we are a team! Winning team!"
