Starting Line & Jumping Over Hurdles

In the last 15 years I saw more and more how easy it was to give up. In my early 20s, I faced personal setback of almost becoming homeless. Asking to stay at a homeless shelter as a young person, someone eager to learn and who had great grates, is something hard to digest. It was that time where I decided that willower and becoming proactive is the only way out. Within 2 years, I started to work my ass off, did all kind of student jobs I could get and saw myself reaching a personal milestone in creating short films in Universal Studios in L.A. as a passionate filmmaker in 2009. It was at this moment I realized that mindset of never giving up and always looking up become a drive for me to inspire others no matter what they do. 

“Never giving up is a mindset, resulted in a willpower to change yourself and to give others the belief, to make a change in their life.”

Falling Down & Exploring the World

But it was also an inner drive to inspire other organizations, their employees, which lead me to help them create their new business life success story when I started to become a Social Entrepreneur, Trainer and Leadership and Motivational Coach. To give other entrepreneurs, employees, and young people the belief that they can reach the unachievable if they believe in the impossible. For over a decade now, I aim to inspire startups, employees, organizations and young people never to give up no matter what stands in their way. 

I believe the future of coaching lies in teaching fundamental decision frameworks and methods combined with professional coaching. Through the professional work, I noticed change is only sustainable in a combination of training and coaching. Throughout my work in the UK, US, GER, and UAE, I specialized in Team and Leadership coaching, Design Thinking and Team communication strength training. As a certified Professional Scrum Master PSM I and Scrum Product Owner I, my work is focused on building team leadership to improve team dynamics in global operating businesses. Along with my certification in Management 3.0 for future of Digital Agile Leadership and StrongSuits for High Performing Teams, I include mindfulness techniques in my business coaching.

I started to involve professional coaching (International Coaching Federation (ICF) trained) in my trainings for individuals, unlock inner self-believe blockers, and find their own answers, which is way more sustainable. Because in the end, we don’t only want short term changes, but also long term. I started to build the Autobiography Coaching Framework to get more clarity for the present moment to make the right decisions for the next personal and professional life chapter of employees, CEO’s or startup founders. Parallel to the Autobiography coaching,I started the Chapters of My Life Podcast to collect life chapters to inspire listeners for their new life chapter. The podcast is an inspiring collection of life transitions packed into a podcast audiobook format capturing the willpower and belief of people during extraordinary life-changing decisions.

“A step is a small but life-changing percentage of a long journey.”

Foundation & Large Mindset

Running and sport, in general, has always been, for me a metaphor of life. In fact, since age 15 , I use running as a foundation to build personal strength. It was 2017 where I started to add Triathlon and two years later also Endurance sport in my sport routine to translate the mantra “Never give up, always look up”. Endurance sport means for me to

• set a long term goal but break it down into many short steps
• saving the energy wisely
• Building a strong mental mindset for long exhausting times, where other would give up.

Besides many half and full marathons, I run solo many 50km and as well 75km. Next goal is 100km. Giving others the belief in believing in themselves is strongly manifested in me. I also started the Roadto100 Project to cover the costs of 100 days youth entrepreneurship program and to enable young people in fragile regions in the middle east or Africa in e.g Lebanon, Palestine or Rwanda a new life chapter

Since the early years, my mantra is: “Never give up, always look up” and I want to transmit this message to make a change in your life no matter if it’s in business or private life. Please contact me for training, coaching or speaking arrangements in public or private events.
