Essays about the Simplicity Of Happiness and living the life you love!
does more mean happier? There used to be a time when I had more stuff than I could possibly use. That didn’t happen accidentally but served two needs of mine (at least I thought so). On the one hand I wished to own things that gave me joy and on the other hand I wanted to look successful to others. I thought: once I proofed to the world (and myself) that I had success I… Read More »the struggle of having everything you want
A perfect example, of how you can sometimes plan and still things turn out different.I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Jayne of the INpowered podcast and although I was a a beautiful setting, I had to change last minute because a heavy wind was blowing.I ended up recording this episode in my car, parked in the sun and the heat rising in the and my dog being annoyed being annoyed by all of… Read More »INpowered podcast
Recently I was interviewed by the Helmstedter Sonntag, a regional newspaper in Germany.We talked about wasting stuff, desert, change and focus.The whole interview is in German and if you know some German you might enjoy the conversation.
I am so fortunate to meet interesting people all around the planet. Partly that is due to my travels, partly to living at beautiful tourist destinations. Last but not least I can invite people I look up to, to my Podcast and can have a meaningful conversation. Lately I started to be invited to other (English) Podcast shows as well. As I had been on numerous German Podcasts before I am super stoked that I… Read More »life design podcast
I am scared to be scared.I hate this feeling of uncertainty and fear.It is not my comfort zone and things don‘t happen with ease. When I am in my comfort zone and things go well for me I feel good and happy and maybe proud of what I am doing. All of that can disappear in an instant when I am scared of something. For a reason I did not understand for a long time… Read More »what scares you?
I love the scenery with deep blue water an empty beach, the sun shining and the sky marvelous. Just creating these images in my mind puts me in a good mood. I feel light-hearted and free. As if the open sky and distant horizon tells me to leave the known behind, search the adventure and go wherever I wish. Often I dreamed about the adventurous times you can read about in books where people did… Read More »travel thoughts
simplify, simplify, simplify Let go of everything that holds you back from anything you want to achieve. Just be clear on this one: To simplify and to go minimal is the opposite of a loss. You are not missing out on anything. It is more about creating the space for the things you love most. The goal is to let go of the things, thoughts, possessions, friends that hold you back. A day has 24h,… Read More »no more
the beauty of the desert
Again, I was surprised.
This was not the first time for me to visit Sahara in Morocco and visiting M‘Hamid lost a bit of the excitement of the first few times. Once I see the first dunes in the distance, it feels more like coming home to friends.
Ever tried to dance tango on your own? Difficult, right? Not only is it difficult alone, but also when you don’t harmonize with your partner and/or one is trying to lead by pressure. It is a silent cooperation that is based on a set of agreements. You set some boundaries for your joined experience and then you dance in harmony. It makes sense to decide beforehand if the dance will be polka or tango. all… Read More »takes two to tango
Most coachings are about reaching the next possible goal. Breaking it down in small reachable steps and setting the mindset to get started.
I am not interested in that. I don’t want to get paid for helping my clients to stay ordinary. I am looking for the extraordinary in you. I want to empower you to dream big and turn your dreams into your truth.

It feels like ages ago that I had the dream of creating a life I Iove. I read fiction and travel adventures and imagined to be brave enough to live through some of these adventures myself.

I like to see myself as a fearless adventurous guy. One, who leaves the known behind in search for the life I love.I dream about all these different places I will visit and things I will do, but… …sometimes I become fearful when I have a closer look at my plans. I back up because I fear it might go wrong once I am starting. …and sometimes I become fearful once I get there. I… Read More »fearful
For the longest time in my professional career I tried to be professional, not too sloppy, not too emotional, not too esoteric, not too spiritual.
I started as a Headhunter and realized I don‘t want to fill random positions for random people in random industries. I wanted to work for human beings and lead by living an extraordinary life myself.

I am a maximalist, that’s why I became a minimalist.What? How does that make sense?I think it does, although it took me more than 30 years to realize. As long as I can remember I could not get enough. It did not matter whether it was playing a game, a vacation I was on, a mountain I was hiking, stuff that I owned.I just couldn’t get enough. I wanted more and got frustrated easily when… Read More »simplicity – an approach of a maximalist
It is now about one year that I am not actively working for ESCP Europe anymore. Although that I am already living my life and worklife relatively self-determined for some years now, I can tell you that it is a huge difference when nobody expects anything from you anymore.Furthermore and quite important to me, did my son and his mother move so far away that I have absolutely no chance on seeing him on a… Read More »who’s in charge of your life?
Ich habe vor drei Wochen auf der DNX Manuel getroffen, der mich spontan abends für das Projekt “Get Your Wings” interviewt hat. Cooles Projekt.
I am sitting a my Computer, checking mails, process bookings for the Lodge, record Podcasts and am planning my milestones for 2017. Then one question hits me: Do I really want to keep writing stories on my blog? Yes! Good, but what exactly? I wasn’t sure. Since I shifted my focus on recording and broadcasting my German and my English podcast on a regular basis I missed out to write any articles. The main reason… Read More »back to the roots
I so much like these guys and am really looking forward for my hypnosis training with them in November. They sum up a lot of my believes:
Imagine somebody could tell you where you´re actually from. A journey around the world and it all sums up to be you. This is a commercial, but well, what would happen, if you´d find out all, the people you hate most are actually your ancestors? End the end, we are one family. Amazing:
I’ve been where you are.
Full of ambition, clarity at times—yet stuck. Unsure where to turn.
I know what it feels like to need support but not know how to ask for it.
That’s why I offer one coaching session per week for free.
Because helping is what drives me.
I genuinely enjoy holding space for others to shift. It’s not just about giving—it’s about the clarity, courage, and transformation that can happen in a single powerful conversation.
Because real impact starts with a chance.
Some of the most driven, talented people don’t have the financial means—yet. This is my way of backing those who are ready to move.
Because I’ve been there.
I’ve had the vision, but not the support. This is how I give back—by offering what I once needed.
Because experience beats advertising.
I don’t do ads. I believe in real connection. If our conversation works for you, you’ll remember it. Maybe you’ll come back. Maybe you’ll refer someone. Maybe you’ll simply take the clarity and run with it.
No pressure. No pitch. No strings.
This is a gift.
All I ask is that you show up fully. Be honest. Be real. Be willing to go there.
You’ll take from it what you’re ready for.
What happens next is up to you.
See you soon,
floh
