Why this Master Class?
«I need more balance. The job takes all my energy and there is too little left for me and my family. But how to change?»
This is what many Senior Leaders and Executives ask me in my coachings or workshops with leadership and executive teams.
My name is Bernhard, MD, PhD and MBA, and I’ve been there myself. Finding myself close to burn-out while burning on for my beloved job as an executive leader, I learned to dare and embrace the power of pausing at the right time.
Applying my learnings on powerful pausing when leading international teams enabled the balance of our business success with maintaining the health and happiness of the team members.
Together with my wife Andrea (Business & Nature Coach) and our partners Marco and Catia (Yoga and Meditation) we have designed this Masterclass to empower you with all the newest tools, reflections and inviting routines to keep your healthy balance between high performance and powerful pausing.
Mastering leadership in balance.

Dive into the silence and vastness of Alentejo, Portugal with its beautiful nature – re-energize, taking time to think and to regain focus and clarity.
