My intention
"What!? You're a sustainability researcher!
And look at the world with such hope?!?
Now I'm curious!"
That was the reaction of a journalist a few years ago when I described my view of our world to her in a background interview. The sentence has stayed with me because it captures something essential:
Although the scientific findings and news of our time give much cause for concern, I view this world with a fundamentally loving and peaceful spirit. And I have come to realize that this is by no means a given.
"Essentially, I always
to achieve the most genuine encounter and relationship possible,
with ourselves, with each other and with the world."
Some people know me as a scientist, others as a public speaker or facilitator of group processes. Some appreciate my ability to listen deeply and help them find clarity about their own path and important decisions. Others value my ability to vividly describe complex issues or to connect people and networks.
Ultimately, all these roles are interconnected. The common thread running through my work is probably connection.

So many people experience our world as fragmented, lifeless, or meaningless. I myself find – at least so far – connection everywhere. However complex and dynamic our world becomes, amidst the seemingly chaotic whole, we, as interconnected beings, can meaningfully participate and shape it.
My aim is to support people who want to take on responsibility in finding inner and outer guidance so they can remain capable of acting in the face of uncertain futures. Ultimately, it doesn't matter to me whether they are politicians, scientists, business leaders, artists, or parents. I am interested in people who are genuinely committed and remain open to authentic encounters, deeper insights, and potential change.
" The most precious thing,
what can be found with me,
are time and space."
This may sound trivial at first, because time and space are always present in some way. But my experience has taught me otherwise, and both can be found within me.
Time, because I have the patience not to immediately look for solutions or quick answers. I like to listen first and calmly explore situations together. Time and again, I experience that this allows processes and decisions to focus on the questions that are truly essential.
Space, because I bring the openness to explore thoughts and perspectives that may initially seem unthinkable. Not everything imaginable is sensible or possible. But often, a new perspective emerges precisely there, from which suddenly other decisions become conceivable.
I am curious to see which people and processes this endeavor will bring me into contact with in the future – and to be able to contribute meaningfully to these various connections.
