You’re an Expert in your field. Now get a Mentor.
Mentoring…
You’re surrounded by team members, advisors, consultants, investors who all mean well with their advice. Mentoring is different. Your mentor supports you in the way a mountain guide helps you find your way. You have to walk yourself. You carry your own stuff. You reach the summit. And your mentor will stick with you as you need it.
Your company is as individual as you. And generic business advice is exactly that: generic. You will find many mentors with extensive business experience, industry acumen, and a long track record. They may tell you what to do. But you’re an entrepreneur, an innovator, a professional – you know what to do but you’re stuck, your company is somehow stuck. Mission and Vision and day-to-day life don’t align.
I’m a mentor with over 20 years international experience in marketing and communication and trained as a coach. I don’t tell you what to do: I support you to do what you already know that needs to be done.
What People Are Saying
I was introduced to Florian at a time when I was ready and willing to start a journey to become a more insightful, patient, and open-minded entrepreneur. Florian helped me to be more mindful and more confident in myself for this difficult task - which is more of a life journey than a business plan. Florian has a unique, intellectual approach to coaching.
— Jeffrey Ventrella, Researcher
It was a pleasure to work with Florian on the Communications Team for TedxSF. His strategy insights and tactical support was crucial to executing a successful media plan and social media program. His leadership while directing and training volunteers was essential for keeping a very large group on track. He brings the true spirt of collaboration to his work and I look forward to an opportunity to complete a project with him again.
— Erica Fox, Sales & Marketing
“Florian brings a creative drive and intelligence to projects. He's adept at being a great listener, communicator and collaborator, which is especially important to complex projects where there are lots of moving parts. He helps drive the project toward completion with a can-do attitude and resourcefulness.”

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. but rather teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”
