About
In today’s knowledge-driven societies, our minds and emotions are under more pressure than ever. We started SHITSHOW to champion mental health at work and to help create workplaces that are healthier and more inclusive — and because we’ve personally experienced what it’s like to navigate mental illness on the job.
SHITSHOW is both a consulting agency and a think tank. We constantly explore and test new ways of collaborating, communicating, and working together to make work truly healthy. In everything we do, our values guide us:
Mind the battery!
Everything is nothing without health – including growth, prosperity & profit. In the long run, no deadline is more important than our mental well-being.
What's work got to do with it?
Mental health is more than biology or personal traits. Work strongly influences our well-being — which is why we need to actively design it.
Sherlocks with a passion
“Rising burnout rates? Let’s do mindfulness training!” — We don’t go for the quick fix. To truly support you, we dig deeper and tackle the real causes.
Meet the Makers
Design is our comfort zone — and user experience our language. While others are still flipping through slides, we’re already building what matters.

Petra’s mission is to bring more experience, play and feeling into our working lives.

Because learning and real personal development happen through experience, exchange with others and reflection.She accompanies managers and teams as a systemic consultant, coach and leadership trainer. In doing so, she draws on 20 years of implementation experience as a personnel developer and manager in companies as well as in consulting.
Lea is a psychologist and trainer at SHITSHOW. With an M.Sc. in Clinical Psychology, she drives the development, puts the science to the test, and runs the trainings. During her bachelor’s, she dove deep into stress and explored how the coronavirus pandemic shaped people’s individual stress experience. In her master’s thesis, she investigated how acute stress relates to changes in brain structure and how traumatic childhood experiences play into that. She blends her (neuro-)psych research chops with real-world agile experience as a Scrum Master and uses psychology as a tool to make work healthier and more sustainable. Her trainings and workshops build awareness around stress management, resilience, and healthy ways of working—practical and evidence-based.
After Melanie earned her B.A. in Business Administration, she got to know different organizations from the inside. She didn’t just learn how they’re built and how they run—she also sharpened her profile as a neo-generalist. The ‘On Purpose’ leadership program opened the door to the social impact space in 2020 and sparked a critical look at purely growth-driven business models. At SHITSHOW, Melanie keeps the team humming and makes sure knowledge flows smoothly.

Lisa Rosato

Lisa is a psychologist and trainer at SHITSHOW. During her Bachelor’s studies, she realized that we need more preventive approaches and more spaces for them. Since then, she has been deeply engaged with the topic of stress and with the question of how we can develop a healthy, sustainable approach to performance and ambition in the workplace – one that doesn’t come at the cost of employees’ mental or physical health. In recent years, she has repeatedly championed and built mental health initiatives and network groups within organizations. She combines her experience in Learning & Development in international companies with neuroscientific approaches and embodiment practices from her years of experience as a yoga and meditation instructor. This creates a holistic approach that makes theory accessible, tangible, and applicable to everyday life. In her trainings and workshops, the focus is on truly integrating and applying what has been learned, always with a good dose of curiosity, humor, and plenty of heart.

Besonders die Verdeutlichung der DEIB-Definitionen im Englischen macht den Text für ein internationales Publikum noch zugänglicher. Die Balance zwischen akademischer Tiefe und praktischer Anwendungsorientierung kommt gut rüber! 👍
