Who am i

Recently a smart person, i was honored to work with, claimed to know my business persona. Something i was never sure about.

Before i was fascinated by conquering new worlds, topic areas, technologies, networks. At that time my focus was already beginning to change: Finding out what is really important to me and how i can provide value to others.

Resonance

I discovered that only where i have resonance within myself, i can truly create resonance with others. And resonance is not a rational or cognitive process. It’s intuitive. So what i do best is listening - to others and my resonance with them. What comes up is the most valuable i can share. Generated by my entrepreneurial persona, my successes and failures. For you to feel your own inner resonance.


Value

My strong believe is that this creates the highest business- and personal value. It helps you to take on the challenges you know and those you are not aware of yet. And it feels good…
