live the life you love
Since 2009, I’ve worked with entrepreneurs and women in leadership to master communication and self-leadership—so they can lead with clarity, confidence, and impact without losing themselves in the process.
I bring together business expertise and an adventurer’s mindset to take leadership, clarity, and effectiveness to the next level—in business, in decision-making, and in life.
leadership begins with you
Coaching existed long before we had a word for it. It was simply leadership. Real leadership doesn’t start with strategy. It starts with you:
- How you think, speak, and decide
- How you handle pressure and uncertainty
- How you lead yourself before others
I won’t give you more strategies. I’ll help you become the kind of leader people follow naturally—because your presence, clarity, and communication make them want to.
I don’t teach tactics. I help you become the kind of leader who doesn’t need them.
this is for you if…
- You’ve built something impressive, but feel stuck or unfulfilled
- Your message doesn’t land the way you want it to
- Overthinking slows your decisions
- You want to lead with clarity, not noise
- You’re done chasing success and ready to define it on your own terms
If any of this resonates—you’re exactly who I coach.
why this coaching is different
- leadership, not just coaching
I teach clarity, not content. We cut the fluff so you:
– Say less, but lead more powerfully
– Decide faster
– Communicate in a way that people listen, respect, and follow - real experience, real results
Most coaches work from theory. I don’t. I’ve:
– Recruited global executives as an international headhunter
– Coached future leaders at one of Europe’s top business schools
– Founded and led businesses across Europe and Africa
– Trekked solo through the Sahara and sailed across Europe
I’ve led in boardrooms, built from scratch, and started over from zero. I understand what pressure—and potential—feels like. - less is more
Leadership is subtraction, not addition. We remove what’s in your way so you:
– Speak with clarity people trust
– Decide without doubt
– Lead as yourself—not a role you’re playing
the 200% responsibility policy
I give you 100%. I expect the same from you.
– Show up fully
– Be honest
– Take action
– Fail, learn, grow
You bring the commitment. Together, we create the transformation.

how i work
I use deep, transformational tools:
– NLP & language mastery
– Hypnosis & unconscious process work
– Personality profiling
– Storytelling & metaphor work
– Non-violent communication
This isn’t about adding tools. It’s about removing what’s blocking your power.
final thoughts
Leaders seek coaching at pivotal moments. If you:
– Feel like you’ve lost your edge
– Face constant pressure but want clarity
– Want to lead without second-guessing I don’t offer quick fixes. I offer clarity that lasts.
exclusive. high-value. not for everyone.

coaching techniques we might use amongst others
individual COACHING is something for you when:
is this you?
Is This You:
You are ambitious, passionate, and committed to making an impact
You know: Something has to change. It has to be you. And it has to be now.
You challenge the status quo
You crave clarity, confidence, and transformation
You dream bigger than your current reality
You feel stuck in a life that doesn’t fully reflect your potential
You sense that something is missing
How I Know This?
Because I’ve been there too.
I walked away from a successful career as an international headhunter and career consultant at ESCP Europe because I realized I was living someone else’s version of success.
I was constantly searching for clarity—but the more I added to my life, the more I lost sight of what truly mattered.
I’ve learned that confidence doesn’t come from doing more, but from knowing what to let go of.
That passion isn’t something you find—it’s something you uncover when you strip away the distractions.
That’s why I coach with the principle of Less is More—because leadership, impact, and fulfillment don’t come from adding complexity but from removing what holds you back.
I have led teams, built businesses, and traveled the world. I have climbed Kilimanjaro, sailed across the Mediterranean, and walked solo through the Sahara—but my greatest challenge was finding clarity in my own leadership and life.
I know what it feels like to be at a crossroads.
I also know that true transformation doesn’t come from waiting—it comes from taking bold, decisive action.
That’s why I coach the way I do.
No fluff. No endless theories. Just radical clarity, honest reflection, and a coaching experience that challenges you to step into your full potential.
If you’re ready to cut through the noise, find true clarity, lead with confidence, and create impact with Less but Better—let’s talk.

About Me – Experience That Shapes Leadership
I’m Florian Hornig—entrepreneur, coach, and adventurer with over two decades of leadership experience across industries and continents. My career began in high-stakes executive search, where I worked as an international headhunter placing top leaders in global finance. Later, as a career consultant at ESCP Europe, one of the world’s oldest business schools, I guided executives and entrepreneurs in shaping their careers.
But I saw a pattern—leaders achieving external success while feeling internally lost. The pressure, complexity, and constant demands led many to burnout instead of fulfillment. I knew there had to be another way.
I left the corporate world to redefine leadership. Combining my expertise in business, psychology, and human behavior with an adventurer’s mindset, I coach entrepreneurs and women in leadership to master communication, decision-making, and self-leadership. My approach is not about management theories or rigid frameworks—it’s about clarity, impact, and leading in a way that aligns with who you truly are.
Whether navigating executive teams, sailing across the Mediterranean, or trekking solo through the Sahara, I’ve learned one fundamental truth: leadership is about knowing what truly matters and letting go of the rest.
About Simplicity Of Happiness – A Different Approach to Leadership
Leadership doesn’t have to be complicated. Yet too many leaders get lost in more—more pressure, more meetings, more strategies—while missing what actually creates impact.
Simplicity Of Happiness is a coaching philosophy built on the idea that less is more. It is not about doing less, but about removing what’s unnecessary so you can focus on what truly moves the needle.
Most leadership programs teach strategies. I teach clarity. My approach combines deep behavioral insights, communication mastery, and self-leadership to help entrepreneurs and women in leadership lead with authenticity, confidence, and focus.
This is not traditional leadership coaching. It’s a transformative process that cuts through the noise, simplifies decision-making, and allows you to lead with less stress, less distraction, and more real impact
