Intrinsic Motivation Expert | Personality creates the difference

🔥 I ignite intrinsic motivation in a world addicted to external validation.

Speaker | Author | Expert on Motivational Intelligence | Advocate of Steven Reiss’s Life Work

I challenge the status quo of leadership, personal development, and workplace psychology. 

While others chase trends, I decode the timeless logic of human motivation — using the science of the Reiss Motivation Profile® to reveal what truly drives people from the inside out.

🎯 My work is a rebellion against one-size-fits-all motivation hacks.

I help leaders, coaches, and organizations move beyond guesswork by aligning their actions with deeply rooted inner motivations.

💥 Author of “Wenn Turnschuhe nichts bringen” — a manifesto for anyone tired of surface-level productivity and hungry for purpose-driven performance.

💡 I believe:

People don't burn out because they do too much. They burn out because they live against their motives.

I write daily about:

🧠 Intrinsic Motivation

🎭 Personality & Individuality

🎯 Motivational Intelligence
