Vom Management von Systemen zum Mentoring von Ökosystemen

I love to work with people on their journeys around their challenges and to create beautiful, sustainable processes, organizations, and lives.

Ich habe Leadership nicht aus Fachbüchern gelernt. Sondern durch Praxis und indem ich beobachtet habe, wie lebendige Systeme tatsächlich funktionieren – und was passiert, wenn wir sie ignorieren. Jahrelang habe ich miterlebt, wie brillante Menschen an extraktiven Systemen scheiterten, mich selbst eingeschlossen. Ich habe gesehen, wie Start-up-Gründer und Teamleiter ihre Gesundheit für Wachstum und reibungslose Abläufe opferten, wie NGO- und Community-Leiter sich bei dem Versuch, die Welt zu retten, völlig überarbeiteten und wie Landwirte unter dem enormen Druck, das System zu stützen, isoliert wurden.

During the last five years, I threw myself into the deep end of Regenerative Agriculture—acquiring hard, practical knowledge on diverse farms and planning adaptive grazing strategies. This wasn’t a hobby; it was an intense, muddy, and rigorous immersion in managing volatility. It demanded a radical ability to shift contexts instantly, dive deep into unfamiliar ecologies, and build a sharp, comprehensive understanding of living systems under real-world pressure. I learned that a degraded field and a burned-out team suffer from the exact same root cause: over-extraction. The fundamental laws of regeneration don’t change whether you are regenerating soil or scaling a company.

Bridging the boardroom, the field, and the kitchen table, I combine living-systems thinking, practical organizational strategy, and deep inner work to help you transition from a ‘manager’ who controls, to a ‘steward’ who cultivates. Whether you are navigating entrepreneurial pressure, managing climate anxiety on the land, or weaving a community, I am here to help you lead from a place of resilience, vitality, and deep ecological alignment.

Leon teaching holistic management

Bringing worlds together

My background blends frameworks of Systemic Coaching, Holistic Management, and Systems Thinking with the practical execution of Lean workflows, Project Management, and Design Thinking. My perspective is deeply shaped by the principles of Regenerative Agriculture and the Circular Economy.

I do not step into your world as an all-knowing consultant with a pre-packaged template. I show up as an Agile Coach and a peer. We explore your now and your path by keeping your unique purpose, your quality of life, and your decision-making in a healthy balance. 

My job is to walk alongside you, providing unlocking questions, strategic mirrors and structural feedback loops you need to thrive. 

Einen Einblick in vergangene Projekte, an denen ich gearbeitet habe, findest du auf meiner Portfolioseite oder auf Land Regeneration.  

Ich liebe es auch zu schreiben. Einige meiner Gedanken findest du unter Across The Ocean, ein Blog, den ich vor Jahren gestartet habe, als ich noch nicht wusste, dass ich einmal hier landen würde.

Ich versuche, mein Leben in Beta zu leben.
