What I am certain of

I am absolutely certain that I have a transformative understanding of how the mind actually works and who we really, that very few people in the world have, but the understanding of which can help anyone become happier, lighter, more loving, more creative, more resilient, more courageous as well as more high performing and successful in their personal and professional lives.

I am absolutely certain that I have unique professional and life experience that, combined with above mentioned understanding, is highly suited to help any leader in business to massively improve not only the circumstances of their life and work but most of all the quality of their experience thereof.

I am absolutely certain that anyone who receives coaching from me and shows up as directed will experience an incredible transformation in their life, towards more clarity, happiness, love, ease, confidence, possibilities, resilience, creativity, fearlessness, productivity and success. “Showing up as directed” means being open to coaching and new ways of seeing the world, being highly committed to the coaching process, and choosing to taking respective action in their lives. I am certain that if you do not show up as directed we are not a good fit.

Improved clarity and state of mind for peak performance

Johannes Metzler

Do you believe that stress, pressure or anxiety is a normal and non-negotiable part of your workday that comes with the job description?

I assure you it is not.

What could you achieve if you were experiencing empowering states of mind as a default, and get over poor states of mind much quicker than right now?

Have you ever noticed…

Have you ever noticed that on some days the world almost seems to bow to your demands? You’re productive, in flow, confident, happy and nothing can shake you. Peak performance, resilience, creativity and wellbeing is your natural state of mind.

On other days, it seems as if you got up on the wrong foot and everything goes downhill from there. You’re tired, moody, stressed, unproductive, easily distracted and generally not at your best. You suffer from negative feelings that cloud your thinking.

My coaching is designed to help you improve your state of mind to have more of the first kind of days and fewer of the latter. Because we all have the ability to turn any day into a peak performance day.

The Harvard Business Review Article „How Your State of Mind Affects Your Performance” found that 94% of leaders reported that Calm, Happy and Energized (CHE) states of mind drive their greatest levels of effectiveness and performance.

However, Frustrated, Anxious, Tired and Stressed (FATS) states of mind were also relatively common among top managers. While they may achieve results short-term they often cause harm long-term, to oneself and to relationships.

What could you achieve if you were experiencing empowering states of mind as a default, and get over poor states of mind much quicker than right now?

What is state of mind?

State of mind is the clarity and quality of your thinking in the moment.

Think back to your best decisions and performance – what state of mind were you in?

And thinking of your worst days, performance or decisions: what states occupied your mind during those moments?

When we observe top athletes we often see that a bad state of mind can cause the best athlete out there to perform below par. Tiger Woods is a prominent example of someone loosing his edge when his state of mind deteriorated. Or we often see leading tennis players loose a match that was almost won when their nerves get to them.

State of mind in business

What happens to top athletes also happens for all of us all day every day. Our state of mind fluctuates and so does our performance.

State of mind is probably the most overlooked factor in human and also business performance – because it is invisible and doesn’t get reflected immediately in quantitative scores like it does in sports.

But all people operate at their best when they feel at ease, confident and light. Whereas dealing with difficult situations from a difficult state of mind usually makes things worse and creates bad decisions or sours relationships.

What I can help you achieve Johannes Metzler Coaching

State of mind is responsible for feeling stressed, frustrated, anxious or under pressure, or on the flip side: calm, happy, in flow, productive.

What is essential to know is that you are not the victim of your circumstances or your state of mind even if it may often seem like that. Your state of mind is created on the inside.

If you have assumed so far that stress, pressure or anxiety is a normal and non-negotiable part of your workday that comes with the job description, I assure you that it is not. Through transformational insight low states of mind can start feeling much more avoidable and optional.

Many entrepreneurs and leaders are looking for ways to perform at a higher level while having too many things on their plate.

My coaching helps them tap into the limitless power of their mind to create the clarity, confidence and ease for seemingly impossible results in their business and personal lives.

 


 

My coaching is not about giving you ‚expert answers‘. (Giving you answers would mean that you have to come back to me again and again for more answers.) Instead, I operate from the truth you are the ultimate expert in your own life and business, and there is greatness and wisdom within you that can be unlocked. 

I will bring out a whole new level of mindset, capabilities and behavior in you that is self-sustaining and self-reinforcing. You will be left with these capabilities forever, giving you an exponential return on investment.

My coaching philosophy is explained in a bit more detail here:

Working with me

I only work with 12 1:1 clients at any time. I am looking for clients to work with over many years so that we can create what seems impossible right now, over and over again, creating an uncommon level of success in all areas of life.

Like all things worthwhile, coaching requires a commitment from both the coach and the client. I make a significant commitment to my clients that goes way beyond our coaching sessions – it is a continuous relationship over months – and I ask the same in return. My ideal client shows up in a certain way, and this way of showing up will create not only an incredible ROC (return on coaching) but a miraculous future.

You are probably my ideal client (and I your ideal coach) if:
  • You are enthusiastic about getting coached and responsive in communicating.  
  • You are self-motivated to grow personally and professionally.
  • You are willing to get challenged and have someone who doesn’t let you get away with your excuses.
  • You are up to something in the world. You have high ambitions both professionally and privately.
  • You are willing to prioritise coaching as an investment into yourself to create a bigger and better future.

I typically work with clients over 3/6/12 months, and the investment for 1:1 coaching currently starts at €4,500 + VAT. The setup will always be 100% customized to your needs and my experience of what works best.

I rarely do one-off sessions. The fee for a 2-hour one-off ‚be with session‘ including prep and post work is €1,000 + VAT.

Accelerator Programs, including Intensive Days in Berlin, for ambitious leaders looking for fast and deep transformation and results are available. 

For coaches who want to work in businesses / with leaders, an Apprenticeship Program is available. 

This is not remedial or transactional coaching. I am not for everyone. I offer transformative coaching that changes your inner world so that your outer world changes from ‚default future‘ to ‚created future‘. Don’t take my word for it, see what my clients have to say (below).

    Dr. Moritz Hahn // CEO Schustermann & Borenstein

    I have known Johannes for years, and he is one of the smartest people I have ever worked with. Independent of the context he is able to understand a new topic quickly and deeply, and use his analytical and people skills to come to a structured solution fast. Recently, I had a big decision to make and my thinking was going in circles. Only one conversation with Johannes helped me to get the clarity and insights I needed to become crystal clear on what I needed to do. I would always hire him again on the spot.

    Katajun Roediger  // Business Director at FOCUS Hotmelt Europe

    I’ve known Johannes for 20 years and he has always had an empathetic, inspiring and gripping charisma.
    Our paths crossed again when I was at a crossroads in my career and I have been lucky to benefit from his brightness and wisdom as an executive coach.
    Johannes grounds me to let clarity appear in the muddy waters of every day life. He takes my thoughts seriously but doesn't get lost in them. He helps me reflect and ultimately guides me to find my own wisdom. And as I am guided by my own insights I can translate these into actions that are perfect for my life and situation.

    L.  // Co-Founder & MD, Berlin scale up

    I have known Johannes for many years now in different roles: as a former colleague, dear friend and lately as my personal coach. Ever since we first worked together he has really helped me to identify my strengths and developed me to become a true leader on a technical as well as on a mental level. He is a great listener and able to identify your very own personal challenge and helps with thoughtful advice. It is very easy to accept his feedback as it’s never judgmental, always motivating and helps you to find your true north. I am thankful for every session we have together.

    Carolin v. d. Mosel // HR expert & author of "Untagged" 

    I have never experienced anything more powerful and transformational than your coaching, including the resources and exercises that come with the sessions. The two in-person immersive days further opened my eyes and heart and I feel even more committed to the process.
    I remember you telling me to commit to being an extraordinary client in order for the coaching to be extraordinary. If coaches achieve to unlock exactly that, magic happens and that is precisely what you are doing/ achieving. 🌟
    I look forward to the remaining sessions and seeing magic unfold (further).
    Words (and chocolate) can't express the gratitude I am feeling but its the closest I can get 🙂
    THANK YOU!

    Dr. Heinrich Hartmann // Principal Engineer, Zalando

    It is no overstatement to say that coaching with Johannes has resulted in the most drastic and impactful positive
    change in my life ever. I have grown as a leader, as an engineer, as a colleague as a direct and most importantly
    as a human to a degree that went above my wildest expectations. I have made progress that is beyond my wildest expectations and grew substantially in my being a human. It's a great privilege to work with you. Thank you for your relentless support and guidance along the path!

    Felix Dannich // Co-CEO & Founder, NAWA Home GmbH

    Johannes is a smart mind and great listener with an exceptional coaching approach. The 2.5 CEO Intensive Days in Berlin were truly mind-blowing and have had a long-lasting impact. During the sessions, Johannes asked the right questions triggering a transformative process which has changed my way of thinking and quite literally how I see the world. It brought me to the core of it all: my values, motives and behavior. This clarity helped me be being more at ease as well as becoming more resilient and confident in both private and business life

    Kristine Zeller // Founder & MD Ooshi

    In my meeting with Johannes I got some interesting insights into my ego brain which allow me to put certain problems into perspective and to handle them with more ease. Ultimately I do understand myself better and can be more forgiving with myself.

    Julian Clausen // Co-Founder Octomo

    Johannes has an uncanny talent to ask the right question at the right time. With that, he forces me to get to the bottom and to see things clearer.
    Building a company is intimidating and stressful at times. Johannes is a trustworthy sounding board for matters beyond business.
    When working with Johannes, you will realize that you have everything that you need at your disposal. Sometimes you just need a little tap into the right direction to take your business and yourself to the next level.

    Tim Kremic  // Founder & MD Wellsome

    Johannes' coaching approach is authentic, unique and impactful. His innate ability to weed through the mental clutter and ask the right question was invaluable for me to rediscover clarity and peace of mind amidst all the uncertainty. Coaching helped me change the way I think and act. I enjoyed our conversations and found great wisdom in his use of business parables that leave plenty of space for individual interpretation. Johannes is not only an amazing executive coach, good listener and a wise teacher, but someone you want to know and keep close long after the coaching relationship comes to an end.

    Luisa Dames // Founder & MD aeyde

    Johannes created a brilliant workshop for our leadership team at aeyde. "Being at your best in turbulent times" is a format that most start-up / growing companies could definitely benefit from. We loved it!

    Coen van Oostrom  // CEO EDGE Technologies

    Johannes had a tremendous impact in our company. Not only is he exceptionally strong at solving analytical problems but he can also make people feel at ease around him so that they open up to change and new possibilities. Among other things, he designed and facilitated highly effective strategy workshops, innovated many of our organizational processes and led a big software implementation project - all with great success.

    Joeran Albers  // Founder & MD Shleep

    Johannes' coaching has been invaluable to me. Coming in with a super broad and difficult problem to tackle, Johannes listened carefully, asked the right questions and helped me to break down my super complex problem into manageable pieces that I can now conquer one by one. His interventions and wisdom made a big impact on me and my life and I can only highly recommend him!

    Sedef Uhlmann // MD GDW Global Digital Women

    Johannes radiates calm and balance and at the same time a lot of courage and energy. He built up a trusting atmosphere right from the start and helped me with his inspiring impulses, the encouraging approaches and his skillful way of holding up a mirror to myself. After each session I left our exchange strengthened, inspired and enriched. Through his clear and structured way and the specific questions, I took away extremely good, sustainable food for thought, always with a view to potentials, challenges and possible next steps. Johannes is an absolute heartfelt recommendation

    Kristine Zeller // Founder & MD Ooshi

    🧠 Unlimited Mind 🧠 Yesterday we had Dr. Johannes Metzler at our ooia headquarters to talk to our leadership team about the ways our mind can both limit us and show us endless opportunities. Thank you Johannes for the great insights on the fact that thoughts are shaping our reality and the widespread lie that thoughts are the truth. Those insights are beneficial for both business reasons but of course also in a much wider sense are applicable for every purpose in life. I can highly recommend Johannes to anyone who is looking for a coach or a speaker. 

    Bastian C. Külzer // Co-Founder Octomo

    Johannes is an excellent coach that helped with provoking questions to guide us to more clarity on aspects like team lead, business strategy, and conflict management. Working in a startup is full of ambiguity, and Johannes uses his knowledge to help us to transform our business and reduce the uncertainty that we face over and over again. He is an amazing person, and I can't recommend him enough.
