About Patrick Jonathan

I am an occupational psychologist (M.Sc.) and consultant for Learning & Development, organizational development, and psychosocial risks.

I support organizations, teams, and consultancies in translating complex topics related to work, health, leadership, and collaboration into clear, actionable formats: workshops, learning programs, action plans, review processes, and structured communication.

My profile combines occupational psychology, personnel development, occupational safety, and international cooperation. I currently work in the public sector in personnel development, where I am responsible for program structure, selection processes, learning architecture, stakeholder coordination, and communication. Previously, I worked in industrial and safety-related contexts, focusing on occupational safety, qualification, prevention culture, and risk assessment of psychosocial stress.

I am particularly strong at interfaces: between analysis and implementation, between technical logic and understandable communication, between German and international stakeholders. Through my German-American perspective and my work in German and English, I also support projects that require cultural, linguistic, and organizational translation work.

Typical topics I can help with:

  • Learning & Development and Workshop Design
  • Organizational Development and People Development
  • Risk assessment of psychosocial stress / GB Psych
  • Survey-to-Action Processes and Action Workshops
  • DE/EN Communication and Germany-USA Cooperation
  • Review and Structuring of Training, HR, and Wellbeing Materials

My working style is analytical, structured, and pragmatic. I enjoy working where content is not just meant to sound good but needs to be practically applicable, well-structured, and truly usable for organizations.
