What I stand for
 

We should stop just going through the motions
 

For 10 years, I led teams and acted as a bridge between management and staff – often as an unofficial counsellor. Today, I work as a university-certified systemic coach, facilitator and consultant with people from the digital economy, media and culture, at the intersection of inner clarity and business decisions. Coaching doesn’t solve structural problems. But it gives you the strength to remain steadfast and effective, even in times of crisis.
 

 

We deserve to live and work better

We deserve a better world of work. One in which leadership provides support and responsibility is shared. I have seen how work can thrive when high performance does not come at the expense of health. I wrote about this at Brave New Work and in my newsletter HEISE SCHEISE. At re:publica 2026, in my talk ‘This email can’t kill you’, I demonstrated body-based exercises for stressful situations in the digital space. The talk was among the top 10 per cent most-viewed at the conference on YouTube.
 

 

We must keep democracy alive

 

For many years, I have been supporting projects that aim to operate in a democratic, collaborative and public-interest-oriented way – including Krautreporter, Übermedien and Mein Grundeinkommen. In 2024, I brought together my knowledge of crowdfunding, memberships and subscription-based funding at Steady Growth College, and I now pass this on to media professionals, NGOs and organisations as a three-stage process. Sometimes I also provide long-term support for suitable projects.

We can finally talk about death

Hardly anyone talks about it – but it affects us all. Some time ago, I wanted to become a funeral orator, and then even a funeral director. Things turned out differently. In 2022, I led a digital awareness project at Germany’s largest funeral home. Our question: How can we encourage people to come to terms with death? Talking about death enriches life. It puts things into perspective: what remains when projects, status and to-do lists no longer matter.
