"Resilience is all about relationships." - Martin Seligman
Verbundenheit ist die Grundlage für Resilienz.
In einer Welt, die sich im Umbruch befindet und von Unsicherheit, Veränderungen und neuen Technologien geprägt ist, sind es nicht Prozesse oder Tools, die uns stark machen – es ist die Qualität unserer Beziehungen.
Sie entscheidet darüber, ob wir in Krisen auseinanderdriften oder enger zusammenrücken.
Relationships are the gold of the future.
What makes us human—our ability to form genuine connections—will be our most valuable asset in the future.
That’s why it’s crucial to nurture our ability to form relationships: it strengthens us as individuals, makes teams resilient, and keeps organizations on track even in uncertain times.
My approach “Strength through Connection” shows how self-leadership, relationships, and culture intertwine—thus creating the basis for sustainable performance, healthy collaboration, and future-proof organizations.

Hi, I am Birgit, your guide to more resilience.
My experience in the international hotel industry has shown me time and again how important genuine connection is – to myself and to others.
Being connected to myself means knowing my needs, limits, strengths, and sources of energy—in order to develop a STRONG ME.
Being connected to each other means cultivating appreciation, trust, and openness in order to explore strengths and resources together—and thus enable a STRONG US.
This connection helps us to regain our strength from stressful situations, to tackle challenges more confidently and to celebrate successes.
Being able to contribute my more than two decades of cultural work, leadership, and training experience to accompany you and your team on this adventure toward greater connectedness and resilience is the wind in my sails.
Those who create unforgettable customer experiences every day deserve experiences that inspire, empower, and advance them.
Humorous.
"Humour is the lifebelt on the river of life."
I think, Wilhelm Raabe was right. Humour relieves tension, lifts the mood and opens the door to more difficult topics.
Fun allowed!
Lively.
For me, being alive means experiencing life with all my senses.
This also includes curiosity, energy, and the shared exchange of knowledge and experiences.
From life, for life.
Moving.
Physical exercise helps to get your mind moving.
Whether outdoors, indoors, or online, my formats get you moving—during the event and afterwards.
From experience to result.

FAQ
Most of my offerings can be conducted both online and in person. As a fan of genuine connection, I certainly prefer to deliver in person. However, sometimes online formats are a better fit – for example, if your team works in different locations around the world. Let’s explore together which format suits you best.
Whether we go into the forest together and do mindfulness and relaxation exercises there, or your team tests its resilience on the rocks or the climbing wall—it all depends on your needs and wishes.
But no matter what we do together, you are in safe hands. For all outdoor activities I cooperate with the wonderful team from rauswärts.
Resilience is a continuous development process and can vary depending on the situation, context, or personal state. Moreover, resilience is not a fixed measure but consists of various factors. Therefore, an assessment makes little sense, as it can only represent a snapshot. Instead, it’s more helpful to develop an awareness of one’s own resilience and to repeatedly conduct a self-assessment.
Strength for people who are struggling—and for our shared future on this planet.
