mastermind

breakthrough leadership through real connection

Leadership gets lonelier the higher you climb.
Decisions carry more weight.
Challenges grow more complex.
And the support? It fades.

I’ve seen ambitious, brilliant professionals left to figure it out alone—
No one to challenge their thinking.
No one to call out their blind spots.
Friends don’t get it.
Teams look to them for answers they haven’t yet found themselves.

That’s where a mastermind changes everything.

clarity through connection

This isn’t a course.
This isn’t a networking event.

It’s a curated circle of leaders—like you.
People with skin in the game. People who don’t play small.
It’s your personal advisory board: diverse in experience, united by ambition.

You bring your real-world challenges.
We bring perspective, clarity, and momentum.
Together, we cut through noise and unlock what’s next.

why this works

Most trainings follow a script.
I don’t.

Most coaches give advice.
I ask sharper questions.

This isn’t about theory.
It’s about what works when the pressure is real.

We solve, not just present

We share wisdom, not just knowledge

We grow through experience—not slides

Breakthroughs happen when the right people challenge you to rise.

real conversations. real transformation.

The best learning doesn’t come from answers.
It comes from tension. From challenge. From honest reflection.

You’ll sit with peers who understand the weight you carry.
You’ll face your blind spots.
You’ll get clear on what truly matters.
And you’ll walk away with tools, insight, and focus.

Every Simplicity of Happiness mastermind also includes 1:1 coaching—
So you grow in the group, but evolve in your own direction.

this is not for everyone.

It’s for leaders willing to get uncomfortable.
To be challenged.
To lead with more clarity than ever before.

If that sounds like you—
Let’s talk.

masterclass

precision learning for leadership excellence

Where masterminds offer challenge and connection,
masterclasses deliver focus and expertise.

These aren’t generic workshops.
They’re targeted, high-impact sessions designed to go deep on one essential topic—
and create immediate transformation.

what sets a masterclass apart

Masterclasses are built for leaders who want to sharpen specific skills with precision.
Whether it’s communication, self-leadership, or decision-making—
you’ll learn directly from experts who live what they teach.

Structured content

Focused learning

Immediate application

Some masterclasses are one-time deep dives.
Others unfold over several months.
But all are designed to give you tools you can use the very next day.

no fluff. just what works.

You don’t need more theory.
You need practical insight you can trust—
delivered clearly, applied immediately, and grounded in real leadership experience.

That’s what masterclasses offer:
One topic. One intention. One step closer to mastery.

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.
