“You’re just so incredibly inspiring”
Sandra Rüger, Munich
For 30 years, successful entrepreneur and sports economist Conny Schumacher has been supporting leaders and entrepreneurs who have achieved a lot but feel stuck, helping them regain their strength to reach their goals safely and effectively. Formerly a personal trainer, she is now a professional sparring partner and master coach.
“When it comes to achieving goals, no industry offers as much insight as sports.”
As a former athlete, I embody many success principles used by athletes to reach their goals. I know how to cultivate a success-oriented mindset, handle victory and defeat, maintain focus amidst chaos, and create a supportive environment. My work is founded on years of experience, combined with ethics, philosophy, and research in brain and consciousness.
It’s not just about aggressively pursuing goals; it’s about looking deeper, recognizing hidden dynamics, and being respectful of those around us—whether they are teammates, partners, or family.
What No One Knows About Me:
I have always been a big fan of Nelson Mandela, Africa, sports, ethics, and fairness—and I love to write. That’s why I worked for years as a doping control officer for the German Sports Confederation, aiming to deter the next generation from “helping.” Since moving to Cape Town, I publish a monthly newsletter sharing my thoughts and impressions on business, society, and politics from both sides of the equator. I find these contrasts incredibly inspiring and hope to bridge both worlds, bringing a touch of African sun to German minds.
