“How is it with you with pain?” asks Andrea, a young Italian, on the evening before the queen stage via the Hospitalesroute – 25 km over the Galician mountains in the most inhospitable area. And I say: “What the hell, we are all in pain. We don’t talk about it, it’s part of the deal.” […]
I am following the Vendée Globe 2024 with great enthusiasm: a single-handed regatta race non-stop around the world – in 80 days. For me, it is the last great adventure of our time. The challenges are inhumane – for people and material: waves as high as skyscrapers, gusts of wind with 50 knots, freezing cold […]
Dear Readers, as every year, a few weeks before Christmas, I take the time to review the past year. I look back, think about what worked well, and learn from what may not have gone as planned. I appreciate this end-of-year ritual not only very much myself, but also many of my clients. Especially after […]
If two people do the same thing and one is significantly more successful than the other, there can be many causes.

A client of mine suffered from Parkinson’s disease. He came to me because he wanted to learn how to deal better with his situation. His attitude was one that I often observe in people: “I have to be satisfied with what is and make the most of it.” Yes and no, I would say. Because […]

In the last few weeks, I have conducted many highly interesting interviews with entrepreneurs, managing directors, professors, i.e. real pillars of our economy and society. I wanted to find out which men are open to coaching, what moves them and how I can be of use with my goal-oriented master coaching approach. Who is open? […]
In many offices, this is a permanent state: You are juggling several deadlines at the same time and fear losing track of them under the constant stress. Especially women who also manage the demands of family and children know the feeling of “I can’t do it all” and the guilty conscience when something falls by […]
What bothers me in our world is that we often only carry success to the outside world. What we don’t show are the many times we’ve fallen down, gotten up again, and tried again until we succeeded. Why? Because it’s the RESULT that counts, not the way to get there. Nevertheless, success is the result […]
“Conny, I’m so sensitive – I get everything…” Women in particular often confide in me that they are “stuck” due to their fine perception and preferences.
