Inspiration session
As a starting or established entrepreneur, it is really valuable to have one on one sessions. I know that from experience: I always seek inspiration outside of my comfort zone, meet people to challenge my views and to learn new things in life. Sometimes a little spark is all you need to accelerate (personal) growth. These kind of meetings can supercharge your development.
Just like I reach out to people for inspiration, others reach out to me. I enjoy discussing their ideas for new businesses, helping them out with my network, brainstorming, providing creative ideas or simply reflecting to get a different perspective. However, one of the key things I have learned as and entrepreneur in the last ten years, is that focus is key. If you want to grow with your company, it is important to have an active private life on the side. Therefore I can’t engage in every request, although I would love to.
Because of this, I offer inspiration sessions: one on one meetings during which we work on reaching your goals, big or small. During a session there are no taboos: we discuss what’s on your mind and I’m open to sharing my opinion and personal experiences, both successes and failures. I’m looking forward to meet you and making a bigger impact together.

Reviews
Lavinia Meijer (Renowned Harpist)
“Bernd has the ability to answer a question from multiple angles. Because of his experience as an entrepreneur with a heart for the arts, he has a different perspective and can create new opportunities. Therefore it doesn’t take long before a new insight emerges. Bernd really helped me to develop and continue my path”
Sebastien Westerduin (Founder & CEO Woov)
“The sessions helped me a lot. Back in '15 I had an idea, which later grew into Woov. Bernd was one of the first to believe in it and see it’s potential. He challenged me, inspired me, arranged introductions and assisted me in sharpening the concept. From business model, investments, to building the team, he shared his knowledge and asked the right questions. Now, a few years later, we have nearly 30 people working for us, Woov has more than 1 million unique users and we are busy conquering the world with our platform”
Marcel Bonni (Atelier MB, former CEO S.Oliver Northern Europe)
“When I first met Bernd in Scotland, we immediately had a personal connection. Bernd then helped me to focus on my goals as an entrepreneur. During our session in Germany, he turned the heat up on me and challenged me to look for opportunities outside of my comfort zone. He is strategically very strong. Especially his ideas on how you can best build a brand and create a suitable business model under it, has helped me. As soon as I take the next step in the future, I will definitely involve him in it”
Anke Louwers (Leather Design Consultant)
“As a starting entrepreneur, I think it's important to connect with the right people on a qualitative level for inspiration, brainstorming, business advice and of course an appropriate network. Bernd has fulfilled this role beyond expectations. The great thing about the meetings is that they are very professional: with attention for preparation, sessions full of inspiration and a follow-up. The results are useful, can be implied immediately and also ensure food for thought. Working with Bernd is very pleasant, because he has a lot of knowledge and considers many points at the same time”
