My mission is to get people moving, physically and mentally. The two reinforce each other, especially when you work from drives, motivation, and qualities. Movement begins with knowing why. As a coach and trainer, I draw a great deal of inspiration from sport; cycling is a way of life for me. Together with my partner Petra and our children Sven and Nina, I can often be found on the bike. I also like to take participants into nature to explore what true leadership requires.

My vision: growth arises in the space between conscious incompetence and conscious competence. In that field of tension, I guide people toward clarity, ownership, and new possibilities, step by step, and always in motion.

Working style

I like to work with metaphors from sport, nature, and everyday life. They open the imagination and, with it, new possibilities. If you can imagine it, you can do it. That requires sharpness, innovation, and realistic steps. Using NLP, Timeline work, systemic work, nature, and sport, I guide people beyond the purely cognitive toward what truly drives them. Our senses, feelings, and values form the core of who we are; by making them conscious, space is created for new insights and choices. That is what I go for, individually as well as with groups.
