this isn’t about doing more

It’s about doing what’s true — even when it’s hard

No matter how much you have achieved, does it still feel like something’s missing?

are you leading from clarity or reacting from fear?

are you aligned with your deeper purpose—or running on autopilot?

are you living your truth—or someone else’s version of success?

  • you leading from clarity or reacting from fear?

  • are you aligned with your deeper purpose—or running on autopilot?

  • are you living your truth—or someone else’s version of success?

If your answers don’t sit right, good. That discomfort? It’s not the end—it’s the beginning.

I’ve been there. Running a company, leading a team, looking like I had it all together—and still feeling off. If that rings true for you, you’re not broken.

You’re just ready for a new game: Clarity begins where certainty fades!

what got you here won’t get you there

The mindset that got you this far might be the very thing holding you back.
You’ve built something meaningful. But now? It’s time to upgrade how you think, decide, and lead.

I help high-achievers like you reconnect with your deeper mission—so you stop chasing success and start leading with it.

By the way, I’m Florian Hornig—coach, adventurer, world traveler & entrepreneur. 

Since 2009, I’ve been helping entrepreneurs and women in leadership lead with clarity, confidence, and impact—without losing themselves in the process. Blending deep business expertise with an adventurer’s mindset, I bring alignment instead of exhaustion.

I don’t just help people optimize their lives — I help them question what they’re living for.

Wondering what it feels like to work together?
Clients often tell me the work feels natural, unforced—and deeply aligned with who they are. Here’s how they describe the experience: why this work feels different.

If you want more strategies, there are thousands of coaches for that. The real transformation doesn’t come from having better answers. It comes from asking braver questions. If you want transformation—the kind that sharpens who you are and how you lead—then let’s talk.

3 ways to work with me

Like dining, great coaching is about choice.
Some want a radical reset. Others prefer an ongoing journey. And some thrive in the collective wisdom of a trusted group. Whatever you choose, there’s a path for you.

the RESET EXPERIENCE

coaching thoughts

Coaching isn’t for when things are falling apart.
It’s for when you’re ready to rise—clearer, bolder, more you.

If you’ve lost your edge…
If second-guessing is slowing you down…
If you’re ready to lead with clarity, presence, and freedom…

Let’s talk.

about me – experience that creates clarity

I’m Florian Hornig – coach, adventurer, and entrepreneur.

For over two decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of leadership, career, and personal growth — as an international headhunter, a career consultant at ESCP Europe, and founder of Simplicity of Happiness.

What I saw early on: leaders hitting their goals but feeling lost inside.
The price of success was often stress, disconnection, or burnout.
And I knew — leadership doesn’t have to be that way.

So I took a different path.
Today, I help entrepreneurs and women in leadership redefine how they lead — with more clarity, more honesty, and more alignment.

My approach? Not theory. Not formulas.
Just real clarity — from the inside out.
So you can know what matters. And let go of what doesn’t.

What shaped me?
- Years in business.
- Nights alone in the desert.
- Weeks at sea.


And the truth that stayed with me:
Real leadership begins with yourself.

about simplicity of happiness – clarity over complexity

Leadership isn’t complicated. But most make it so—by chasing more: more pressure, more goals, more noise.
And in all that doing, they lose what really creates impact.

Simplicity of Happiness is my response to that.
It’s not about slowing down. It’s about stripping away what’s in the way—so you can lead with focus, presence, and honesty.

I don’t teach strategies. I create clarity.
Through deep insight, sharp communication, and real self-leadership.

This is not classic leadership coaching.
It’s a clean cut through the noise—toward the clarity that lets you lead on your terms.

Less stress. Less pretending.
More truth. More impact.
