The Personal Resilience Indicator (PRI) is the most comprehensive, independently validated resilience assessment available to date. 
Not only does it integrate the latest insights from neuroscience and psychology, it is the only resilience assessment that does not only measure the status quo but also provides the granularity that allows practitioners to build targeted transformative coaching journeys.
The PRI takes the form of an online self-assessment with 64 questions that takes approximately 10-15 min to complete. It provides actionable insights across 12 subdomains, each representing a distinct construct that can be improved by targeted practice and coaching. 
Developed with expert guidance from experienced neuroscientists, psychologists, executive coaches and mental health professionals, the PRI also passed independent validation by a renown psychometric expert.

► Are you interested in getting certified to use the PRI with your clients?
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The PRI certification program comprises both self-learning content and interactive sessions designed to help you understand, work with and effectively debrief the Personal Resilience Indicator. Depending on your pace, certification takes between 2-6 weeks to complete. 

During the certification program, you will work directly with the creators of the PRI to
○ learn the neuro-psychobiological foundations of the PRI
○ understand the psychometric properties of the PRI 
○ learn how to engage your clients on the topic of resilience with a holistic, playful metaphor
○ gain first-hand experience in debriefing the PRI with clients

Prior practical experience as a trained coach, therapist or mental health professional of at least one year or 100+ billed hours of coaching is a prerequisite for attending certification.

Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry

Researching the spliceosome in the group of Prof. Dr. Reinhard Lührmann. The spliceosome is a complex molecular machine involved in determining which proteins are made by our cells. It trims and joins the RNA copy of a gene, so that it can serve as a blueprint for the manufacturing of the respective protein.

► My role in this field of research
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
For my PhD thesis, I developed an in vitro system to study the composition and the shape of this molecular machine at different stages of the splicing process in the fruit fly. By comparing the results of my experiments, to the research done with yeast and human cells, this work provided important insights into the evolutionary origin of these machines.

Mind Training Coach For Business Owner Parents Who Want To Close Their Computer After A Focused 6-8 Hour Work Day and Have Energy and Time For Hobbies, Family and Spirituality | Ultrarunner | Meditator | Father

Imagine waking up to a fresh day full of adventures.

Confidently finishing income-increasing actions, being at peace with yourself, and by 5 pm you’ve closed your computer without guilt or lack of energy.

Gone are the days when you thought about work 24/7 - unable to be present for your loved ones, while meditation, learning, and exercise were always in tomorrow.

You’ve become a calm, wise, and productive leader in your business - people come to you for stability and guidance.

While enjoying financial security, your dopamine flows because you’ve understood that meaning, clarity, challenges, and impact are the building blocks for creative focus.

That’s the reality for those who do the inner work.

Sounds like a meaningful life to wake up to?

It is.

I know it might feel like a nice dream, unattainable to you.

You’ve been pushing forward for years with low-level anxiety.

For months you’ve known exactly how to take your business to the next level and what you’d want to do in your free time.

BUT you haven’t been able to execute.

Relax, all my clients start with the same frustration you have.

There is nothing wrong with you, it’s simply that without understanding how your mind works, you aren’t in control - and that is the reason why there is a GAP between what you WANT to do and what you CAN do.

I help you to close the gap. 

The 34 testimonials from business owners show how they:

- Doubled their income while working 6-8 hours a day.

- Found a consistent way to do their spiritual practices daily leading to 80% decrease in stress and an increase in joyful focus.

- Enjoy guilt-free time after work, fun family dinners, reading books that gathered dust, and spending more time in nature while exercising.

All of that is possible through: 

- Neuroscience-based approach polished through 1000+ coaching sessions.
- 16 years of daily meditation practice.
- 10 years of leadership and business experience.

See, this is how it will go:

You’ll learn to center yourself into a calm focused mind, take charge of your attention.

As your attention follows you, instead of reactive impulses, you have the clarity to make the best decisions.

Better decisions skyrocket your energy levels and you can execute your business priorities faster with higher quality.

High-quality work leads to more successful business and impact.

Success and impact lead to momentum that isn't stopped by the intense uncertainty of the 21st century.

I’ve lived that for years and can guide you to master your mind

Sounds good?

Great.

DM me “MIND”, and let's have a relaxed chat.
