I help leaders and organisations turn complexity into clarity.

* Seductive Leadership is neither about manipulation nor surface-level charm – it’s about creating gravity. It’s the art of leading in a way that awakens desire: the desire to contribute, to collaborate, to grow. Think of it as the midpoint between inspiration and motivation, where meaning is generated and people feel pulled rather than pushed. It integrates the axis of people-place-process, psychology, charisma and presence. Timeless strategies of allure are turned into a remedy for today’s complexity: it forges belonging, unlocks creativity, and makes leadership less about control – and more about irresistible invitation.

As a Facilitator with 15+ years of experience in systems thinking, narrative strategy, and human-centred design, I create transformative learning spaces where teams unlock their full potential.

My work spans leadership development, people, group and org transformation. Whether guiding executive teams through cultural change, training facilitators, or designing corporate innovation curricula, my focus is always the same: enabling people to collaborate with more intelligence, creativity, and trust in spaces, where communication truly happens.

Clients such as Austrian Airlines, Swisscom, Lufthansa, and the Berlin School of Digital Business have trusted me to:

+ Guide transformation initiatives
+ Research Employee satisfaction with such initiatives
+ Reunite fragmented teams in record time
+ Build design thinking and other learning programs adopted across entire organisations or heterogeneous cohorts and serve trainings, workshops and, of course, 1:1 coaching
+ Deliver keynotes on leadership, collaboration, and narrative transformation

Today, I offer five core service areas:

1️⃣ Leadership Transformation & Coaching – Executive coaching, leadership development journeys, and culture change programs
2️⃣ Facilitation & Workshop Design – Large-group moderation (100+ participants), custom workshop formats, and facilitation training
3️⃣ Innovation & Design Thinking – Corporate innovation programs, systems mapping, and human-centred problem solving
4️⃣ Narrative Communication & Storytelling – Corporate storytelling, change narratives, keynote speaking
5️⃣ Data Storytelling & AI Literacy – Translating complex insights into clear strategies for teams and decision-makers

What works as a separate chapter works mostly better in tailored interwoven approaches. If your organisation is facing transformation, complexity, or the need for deeper collaboration—let’s connect.

"Und, was kann ich von dir lernen?"

Network-Events sind die besten Gelegenheiten, anknüpfungsfähige Fragen zu stellen und zu prüfen, ob ich mir selbst gerne zuhöre, wenn ich organische in Varianten das zehnte Mal erzähle, wofür mich meine Kunden am liebsten bezahlen.

Die Überstunde ist ein unprätentiöses Networking-Event, ohne den Budenzauber künstlicher Self-Promotion; immer in wechselnden Top-Locations in der ganzen Republik. Simpel. Erfolgreich.

Spontane Gespräche und Connections, done by Raphael, Maximilian, Manja & Team. So gestern direkt am Pool des Hotel Oderberger in Berlin.

Mit meiner bezaubernden Kollegin Julia auf Pre-Testing-Tour für ein neues Format begeben, habe alte und viele neue bekannte getroffen und durch generatives Lauschen so einige neue Dinge erfahren... 

Danke für die Quick und Deep Talks nach "Können wir uns zu Euch gesellen?" mit Levinia Schneider und Florian Arndt, dem Ausflug zu Führungskultur mit Victoria Gieseking, Janine S., Daniel Masullo, Hendrik Oheim und dem Last Minute Exkurs mit Dominique Michaela Weiss sowie allen anderen!

Eine Überstunde zum Gerne-Machen!

Der Moment, in dem dein Imposter Syndrom zerbricht...

Je mehr du weißt, desto mehr zerfetzt es dich, 
dass du am Ende doch so wenig weißt. Relativ wenig.

Also braucht es immer wieder einen Spiegel. 
Die Stimmen von außen, die dich zurechtrücken.
Letzte Woche hatte ich so einen Spiegel.

Am Ende eines großangelegten konzerninternen #LeadershipTrainings wurde nach Zertifikaten gefragt. In unserer Rolle als findiges Trainerduo hatte meine wundervolle Kollegin Christiane Schicker die Idee, einfach selbst welche anzufertigen. Das inkludierte auch uns.

14x ein Papier mit einer persönlichen Widmung versehen. Die Minuten ticken. Einen trefflichen liebevolles #Feedback finden. Sich erinnern: an die Energie, die Performance, die Fragen, die Bereicherung, die jede und jeder Einzelne mitbrachte.

Übrigens eine wundervoll einfache #Gratitude-Methode zum Mitnehmen – nach #ComplimentShower und #WhispersGame mein neuer Liebling.

Jeder Gruppe erwächst eine spezifische Persönlichkeit. Wenn der Abschied nach einem Jahr ein bisschen schwerer fällt, ist etwas passiert. 
Umso wichtiger, die Vöglein fliegen zu lassen. 🦅

Dann hältst du plötlich dein "Zertifikat in der Hand.
Und dein #Imposter-Syndrom verabschiedet sich.

"...danke für die überragende #Facilitation
und die spontanen Exkurse. Beeindruckend!

"Danke für dein sehr erfrischendes #Coaching,
deine Inspiration und die 1000 kleinen Tipps!"

"Göran, du bist echt ein geiler Typ. Danke für alles. 
Ich konnte viel von dir lernen. Bleib so, wie du bist!"

„Danke für deine Art Feedback zu geben. 
Direkt, trotzdem wertschätzend und sehr zutreffend."

„Danke für deine Gelassenheit und Klarheit darin, 
auch auf sich selbst zu achten."

„Danke für Deine Energie & Deine #transformative Persönlichkeit!"

Martin Buber sagte es: 

Der Mensch wird am Du zum Ich.

Wir sehen uns selbst nicht immer ausreichend. 
Was wir für selbstverständlich halten, Dinge die Teil der Persönlichkeit sind, sind für andere manchmal genau das Quäntchen Wachstumshormon oder der Funke zur nächsten Zündstufe!

Wann hast du zuletzt jemandem ehrlich gespiegelt, 
was du in ihm siehst? (und er oder sie vielleicht nicht)?
