One thing I knew early on: I wanted to work with people – not spend my hole day staring at a computer screen. Well…funny enough, I still spend quite a bit of time in front of one 😉
I was part of building up the Fitness Company in Frankfurt, where we launched the first five clubs. Later, I managed several gyms – in some of them, I also wore the Sales Manager hat. In 2007, I founded my own gym near Ulm. There was also a few detours – into gastronomy, real estate, and even some hard manual work in the early winter months. Tough jobs, but great lessons!
Through all of this, I realized that my real passion lies in teaching and sharing knowledge. I red tons of books – studied to become a certified Personal Coach internationally, went through NLP Practitioner, Master, Trainer, and eventually became a teacher trainer myself. There are only a handful of us worldwide. For about ten years now, I´ve been teaching in companies and at events.
Because I´ve always been fascinated by how the brain works and how we truly function, I added Neuroleadership to my teaching focus. How can leaders truly lead in a brain-friendly way? Fascinating stuff!
If my life had taken a slightly different path early on, I might have become a neuroscientist. So what! I´ve never been driven by money – what matters to me is doing the right thing, living with purpose, and helping others grow along the way.
I’m really looking forward to meeting you – and maybe walking a part of your journey together.
