My journey to becoming a holistic health and business coach
Heidi’s Story
My professional development has always been at the center of my attention. Initially, I wanted to prove something to myself and the world. Later, the joy of self-realisation was a key driver. Today, my primary motivation as a business coach is to support purpose-driven leaders on their journey to success and fulfilment.After studying economics in Vienna and training at the Diplomatic Academy, I took a look behind the scenes of the interplay between politics and business as a lobbyist in London and Brussels. The fascinating question for me was:
How to navigate and influence complex stakeholder networks?
After years of working in the background, I finally took on a role on and off the stage. As spokesperson and head of corporate communications for listed companies, I was responsible for press conferences, major internal company events, wrote speeches for managing directors, built media relations and supported reorganisation processes in terms of communication. During this time, I refined my answer to this question:
How to create compelling media profiles for executives to enhance the reputation of an organisation?
Long before remote management became ‘the new normal’, I managed pan-European projects and motivated international teams to collaborate successfully via video conferencing. My professional career took me to London, Brussels, Vienna and Zurich. I developed the ability to quickly build professional and personal networks, gain the trust of diverse teams and integrate seamlessly into new corporate cultures. Despite numerous challenges, my cosmopolitan life was rich in acquaintances and colourful in experiences. Like a racehorse, I worked in two gears: 'fast' or 'faster'. But suddenly my body demanded a break. A gastrointestinal disorder, leaky gut syndrome, forced me to rest and reflect. Exhausted in the hamster wheel, I realised how life in the fast lane combined with my own high expectations was getting to me. Having learned to function, I dragged myself through months of meeting marathons, always with the question in the back of my mind:
How can I boost my resources to thrive in high-demanding roles?
What began as a personal healing journey quickly developed into profound study. Numerous seminars and further training in nutrition, holistic health, meditation and mindfulness led to a fundamental lifestyle change. Surprisingly, I felt more energetic and powerful than ever before. Further career leaps followed. Today, I share this knowledge in lectures, mentoring and coaching journeys. Triggered by my health crisis, I soon asked myself what I wanted to use my valuable life energy for. Various coaching courses at internationally renowned institutes followed. Since 2020, I have been working as a holistic health and business coach, helping leaders and teams to work more effectively, lead more mindfully and live healthier lives. Even as a student, long before “social entrepreneurship” and “impact investing” were common terms, I was concerned with the question:
How can economic activity drive positive impact for the well-being of the planet?
My thesis on corporate social responsibility marked the beginning of my interest in sustainability and the circular economy. Today, I am passionate about supporting individuals, teams and start-ups in finding their purpose and creating the most positive impact possible. I offer a platform for female founders, for example via my podcast or my salon events.
