I am
“I’ve coached many successful people whose intelligence, competence, and drive set them apart and every single time I’ve seen the same thing: only when they allow their natural self to emerge do they truly feel like winners. For me, there is no greater fulfillment than watching the sunlight of authenticity break through the clouds of doubt.”
Quote from my book originally in German: Radikal. Ehrlich. Aufgeblüht. Kraftvoll DU sein!

Injustice has always outraged me. That’s why I initially chose to study law, convinced that I would find justice there.
Then came my first day in court. Stacks of files. Tired faces. High fees. And a sobering realization: Those who go to court have usually already lost. Time gone. Money gone. Nerves gone. Often the relationship, too.
That realization never left me, and it became the turning point of my career.
I no longer wanted to defend after the damage was done.
I wanted to shape outcomes from the very beginning.
At 26, I was sitting across from entrepreneurs and managers twice my age, both in courtrooms and at negotiation tables, and winning multi-million-euro cases. Sometimes for them. Sometimes against them.
At 27, I was already leading the legal department of an international bank.
No one asked about my age back then.
What people sensed was this: Someone who understands complex situations in seconds and decides with calm, precise clarity.
That exact ability – to grasp complexity instantly and act with composure – is what my clients benefit from today.
Today I support entrepreneurs, senior executives and leaders in achieving their goals more swiftly and effortlessly, anchored in clarity of mind, strategic skill, intuition and a grounded sense of calm.
Because I know this to be true: Those who negotiate smartly and lead authentically don’t follow rules – they set the rules. And they always win.
Doctor of Law. Business psychologist. University lecturer. Long-standing negotiation expert in international banking. Management consultant and systemic coach. These are the pillars of my craft.
What drives me is a deep conviction: Every person carries a unique core of strength within them. My greatest joy is helping that core come alive and guiding it with intelligence, clarity, and impact.
That’s why I founded GROWMIND in 2018: As a promise for growth that provides structure while creating space for new perspectives, genuine connection, and deep, sustainable development.
I teach negotiation and leadership skills in executive education formats, academic programs, and in‑house corporate seminars, in both German and English.
My work focuses on delivering practical, immediately applicable strategies and techniques, that work reliably even in highly complex, international, technically driven, or multi-party situations

Interested in targeted sparring for your current negotiation or leadership challenges?
30 minutes free & no obligation – just the two of us, laser-focused on your specific situation.
I most enjoy working with people who sense there is more within them. Those who are curious, ambitious, and ready to rediscover themselves. People who don’t just want to achieve success, but want to live it in a way that feels light, aligned, and naturally inspiring to others.
If that sounds like you, I would truly enjoy meeting you personally.
with full commitment
Every person carries an inner core of strength, yet most underestimate just how powerful it truly is.
My favorite moments are when it suddenly lights up and everything becomes easier.
You no longer just negotiate well, you win with an ease that feels almost playful.
And you no longer just lead – people follow you willingly, because they sense:
This person radiates natural, calm authority.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution and certainly no mask I place on you.
My role is to uncover your individual core of strength and sharpen it, so you can finally show up fully without bending yourself, without wasting energy on appearances.
Those who act authentically don’t need a loud voice or a title. Their impact speaks for itself.
Effectiveness instead of effort Negotiations become more structured. Conversations calmer, more focused. Decisions more confident.
Natural authority You enter a room and it’s already yours, before you say a word.
Inner clarity & calm High performance without inner chaos. Success that feels light and aligned, professionally and personally.
Precise, immediately applicable strategies. No theoretical ballast. Only what works - ready to implement the very next day.
My clients come to me seeking professional success and they achieve it. What they gain beyond that is a sense of lightness that transforms their daily lives, their decisions, their communication and ultimately, how they experience life.
Ready for negotiation and leadership that finally feel like you?
Then let’s talk. No sales pitch. Just an open, honest first conversation.
