My Services: Where Complexity Meets Clarity
Clarity that Cuts Through Complexity
Align minds, remove invisible barriers, and create breakthrough results.
When top executives or ambitious entrepreneurs face complex challenges, traditional discussions often go in circles. Progress stalls, energy drains, and opportunities slip away.
Whether it’s a leadership team navigating uncertainty or a solopreneur hitting an invisible ceiling, the real obstacles are often hidden beneath the surface.
That’s where the STAV+ Method comes in.
Unlike conventional problem-solving, STAV+ combines rigorous strategic analysis with an intuitive, systemic approach—uncovering what isn’t said, what isn’t seen, and what truly drives results.
Rooted in systemic principles and inspired by leadership pioneers such as Russell Ackoff, Stafford Beer, Heinz von Foerster, Edgar Schein, and Peter Drucker, this method goes beyond quick fixes. It reveals hidden dynamics, addresses root causes, and creates a clear, actionable path forward—often within one or two workshops.
With this approach, you achieve:
- Clarity: Cut through complexity. Reveal blind spots, align perspectives, and map the real forces shaping your situation.
- Structure: Transform uncertainty into a step-by-step strategic roadmap.
- Solutions: Solve challenges at their source—not just the symptoms.
- Confidence: Move forward with shared ownership, renewed energy, and a decisive mindset.
The result: Mental alignment, energetic momentum, and successes that speak for themselves.

Product Market Fit Check-up
Quick, deep insights into how your product is truly perceived.
Did you know that over 40% of startups fail due to lack of product-market fit? Countless companies pour time, energy, and money into ideas they’re passionate about—only to discover that no one actually wants to buy them.
The Product Market Fit Check-up gives you direct access to what the information field reveals about your product or service—before you over-invest. Using a powerful tool called Explorative Management Constellation, we uncover early signals of interest, trust, or indifference—often in just minutes, and completely online.
But it’s not just about the product. Many startups struggle when choosing the right investor or strategic partner—a decision that can make or break the business. With the constellation method, you can test different options (e.g. Investor A, B, or C) and explore how each one might impact the energy, alignment, and long-term trajectory of your startup—before signing any deals.
And it works both ways. Investors can also use this method to gain intuitive insight into whether a startup is a wise investment—beyond what conventional data and market research reveal.
Instead of spending months (or even years) on expensive testing, focus groups, or research—or investing in the wrong initiative—this approach delivers fast, cost-effective insights. It's your shortcut to knowing whether your product or startup is on the right track—before burning your budget.
Who can benefit from this check-up?
- Open-minded companies: exploring new R&D ideas
- Startups: seeking confirmation to place their limited resources on the right opportunity
- Marketing teams: preparing for A/B testing or campaign launches
- Investors: seeking intuitive, strategic insight before making a funding decision
This check-up is ideal for anyone facing high-stakes decisions in uncertain or fast-moving environments.

Why Most Change-Projects Fail -
and How My Research Can Help
According to a Harvard Business Review study, nearly 75% of all change and problem-solving projects fail.
Why? Often because the real root causes remain hidden, and key dynamics between stakeholders are misunderstood or overlooked.
This issue inspired me to act: During my PhD, I developed a systemic problem-solving approach designed to help organizations tackle complexity effectively and achieve sustainable success. You can dive deeper into my research in my book (available in German) here!
Drawing on insights from Cybernetics II (second-order), one of the most critical conclusions from my work is this: real change begins from within. For organizations to truly transform, leaders must be willing to reflect on and evolve their thinking, emotions, and actions. It is the internal transformation that drives meaningful and sustainable progress across entire organizations. Or, as Rumi once put it: 'Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.'

My Thrive: Where Effectiveness Meets Innovation
My expertise in solving complex problems is rooted in a profound commitment to systems thinking and holistic methodologies. The journey began with an MBA in California in 2009/2010, where I immersed myself in the Cradle to Cradle® paradigm and sustainability’s circular principles. This foundational experience underscored the value of addressing root causes rather than treating superficial symptoms in isolation. Read my article on Cradle to Cradle®, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the five Inner Development Goals (IDGs) here.
After three years with a specialized consulting firm in Switzerland focused on visual complexity management and systems thinking, I pursued a PhD to develop a comprehensive methodological framework for analyzing and solving complex organizational challenges. This approach also integrates organizational psychology and Edgar Schein's model of organizational culture to drive deeper, more sustainable results.
My Inner Development, Perseverance and Power: Keys to Growth & Success
The path to success is rarely linear. It’s marked by challenges, detours, and breakthroughs that define the journey. Over the course of seven years of personal development and training in intuitive and energy-based methods, I’ve gained insights into how to influence key variables for achieving desired outcomes.
As an energetic business coach and certified mental trainer, I combine these experiences to help clients achieve profound transformations and breakthroughs. By combining systems thinking, advanced information field analysis, kinesiological muscle testing, and energy work, I can uncover and resolve root causes while identifying high-impact leverage points. Hence, my work bridges science, intuition, and practical tools to unlock potential and accelerate growth.
Lastly, I believe there’s nothing more powerful than uniting courageous people who share a drive to innovate for a better future. That’s why I’m building the Thrivability Network—a collaborative initiative at the intersection of three key forces:
- Tailored R&D and problem solving: for a Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C)-based circular economy
- Education and educational marketing: to build awareness and critical thinking
- Strategic nudging: to accelerate the implementation of solutions that push the needle and shift the status quo
If that speaks to you, let’s connect—I’d love to explore how you can be part of it.
Vision
I envision a world where leaders are self-reflective and capable of solving complex problems with ease, while being deeply connected to their purpose and aware of their unique gifts and talents. Their success is not only personally fulfilling but also contributes to the greater good, creating positive ripple effects in healthier natural ecosystems, communities and the world at large.
Mission
My mission is to support individuals, established companies, and startups in tackling complex challenges through a deeply systemic approach—transforming problems into opportunities for growth and development. I do this by designing and facilitating workshops, as well as conducting coaching sessions. Through the creation of the Thrivability Network, I aim to push the needle toward healthier people, a healthier planet, and thriving businesses.
Values
- Effectiveness and Impact: I’m committed to actions and decisions that serve a higher purpose and create meaningful value—both now and for the future. It’s about doing what matters, and doing it well.
In short: Do the right things right. - Creativity and Innovation: Embracing R&D to challenge what is and inspire what could be.
- Learning: Create an environment where continuous learning, discovery, and a safe space for being vulnerable allows for personal growth and development to happen.
- Integrity and Accountability: Upholding truth and transparency in all interactions, fostering trust and accountability. Taking full responsibility for my actions, decisions, and growth, while encouraging my clients and network to do the same.
FAQ

Most entrepreneurs I work with have already tried many things — group coaching programs, 1:1 coaching, or energy work — yet they still feel stuck.
They describe it as:
Lack of clarity about what they truly want Overwhelm about how to reach their goals Generic advice that never fits their unique situation
What I offer instead is a highly tailored process that combines rigorous strategic analysis for rational clarity with deep energetic alignment.
This means: a clear, personalized roadmap + the inner shift to embody it. Not one-size-fits-all — but an advanced, individual success framework that creates focus, confidence in yourself, and ease. If you’re ready to move from confusion into clarity and lead with vision and aligned energy, let’s connect.
I specialize in collaborating with small teams of decision-makers, particularly within startups and forward-thinking established companies. I work best with businesses that prioritize innovation, sustainability, and continuous improvement. My ideal partners embrace creativity, cutting-edge business practices, and a culture of exploration. They are open to experimenting with new tools and methods while viewing sustainability not just as a necessity, but as a driver for growth and excellence. These values align perfectly with my thrivability mindset, making our collaboration both impactful and future-focused.
Yes! Most of the tools I use are effective both online and offline, making remote consulting via Zoom highly efficient. While I sometimes prefer in-person collaboration, the choice depends on the project's stage and specific needs. Whether virtual or face-to-face, my approach ensures seamless communication, strategic insights, and impactful results.
The timeline depends on the project's complexity. For a success map - a structured approach based on systems thinking to solve complex problems in a cross-functional team - we can create an initial version 1 in just one day with up to seven participants. Each participant needs about 20 minutes of preparation beforehand.
If we use the extended STAV+ method to explore deeper, hidden or unconscious influencing factors, I recommend a second 2-hour workshop for a more comprehensive analysis with the method system constellation.
Afterward, the new insights from the system constellation are integrated into an updated success map (version 2). This refined version serves as the foundation for developing highly effective and holistic solution strategies tailored to your needs and the needs of the whole system.
The process includes a short preparation phase (about 20 minutes to answer a few focused questions) followed by a 1-hour guided online workshop session.
A constellation is a systemic tool that makes invisible dynamics visible. By representing key elements—like your product, customers, team, or potential investors—we can gain intuitive insights into how they interact, align, or create friction. It’s not just theoretical—it’s experiential and often surprisingly clear.
Absolutely. Many founders use constellation work to compare potential investors (e.g., Investor A vs. B) or strategic directions. It can reveal hidden tensions, alignment, or mismatches—helping you make more informed decisions before committing.
While not a replacement for traditional research, constellation work provides deep, systemic insights that often uncover blind spots or emotional dynamics you might miss otherwise. Many users find it to be surprisingly accurate and actionable.
