Business & decisions
When professional questions carry weight and you cannot discuss them within your team.
Private sparring for people with responsibility
You are the person people can even count on at two in the morning. But who do you call?
You lead, decide and solve — in your company, in your family, within yourself. Here you have a counterpart: someone who sees you, listens, thinks alongside you and strengthens you.
Your counterpart
You carry a lot. You don't always have to think it through alone.
This is not therapy, not another business programme, not marriage counselling. A confidential, weekly conversation with a neutral outside view — about the everyday decisions of a person who carries a lot of responsibility. When business, partnership, identity, meaning and faith somehow all speak at once. And about the things you do not discuss openly with anyone else. And yet it is more than a conversation: a person at your side who truly sees you, thinks alongside you and strengthens your back — between our sessions too. Someone who holds you to it — sometimes pushing, sometimes pulling. Gently and without stressing you. We find solutions together — and take them into action. I am not simply there to listen; I am in the process with you. Someone who is there like a friend — and understands like a business partner. With knowledge and my own experience.
The rock in the surf
Who sees you?
You are the strong one. The rock in the surf, the one who always has an answer, who stays calm when things escalate, the first person everyone turns to. You take on other people's topics — and deal with your own alone, because it feels as if nobody has room for them. And not because you have no one or know no one. But because the people around you do not understand you in depth — you do not feel held there. That feeling of being truly seen in that depth — on every level where you need it: it is missing in your life. But you sense that it should be allowed to exist.
Who strengthens you? Who supports you? Who realises that you have your own topics to carry — especially in the times when you don't even have the time or the space to notice them yourself?
These are exactly the people I support — and it makes no difference whether man or woman. I know this feeling myself. And exactly there it feels like stagnation, one you cannot easily get out of with your own strength. My own answer I did not only find in people, but in the one who is always there: who always sees me? Jesus shows us what it feels like to be truly seen and held — and that is how I want to be there for people. That is how I want to be there for you: as your human counterpart.
Who it's for
People with impact
For founders, leaders, entrepreneurs, professional athletes, artists and people in the public eye. For people who take responsibility, create impact and are the first point of contact for many — yet hardly have anyone they can call at any time themselves.
Here you neither have to explain why much depends on you, nor pretend you already have every answer.
This works at eye level: you may bring everything — you do not hand over responsibility here, and you do not hand over your character or your personality either. I often recognise connections quickly that you may not yet see yourself, and I speak them out clearly.
A good fit, if …
You carry responsibility — for a company, a team or a family.
This is not about one single question or decision for you — but about the ongoing tasks of your life: your business, your relationships, your sense of meaning. And how all of it belongs together.
You are looking for someone who truly sees you and honestly disagrees — not someone who only nods.
You are ready to commit to a conversation for at least three months.
Probably not, if …
You only want to sort out a single topic, get a quick fix or a ready-made programme.
You need therapy or classic counselling — I am not the right address for that.
You want to follow someone — instead of changing something in your own life.
Areas of focus
What finds room here
Honestly? Everything. Everything that comes up in you and that you want to look at finds its place here. Because where consciousness comes, light can come. That this then automatically does something in the visible world (in your life, in your business, but also around you) is clear, I think. This is welcome here:
Leadership & responsibility
Leading without losing yourself — even under pressure.
Partnership & family
When a business decision touches your marriage or your dating life — or a question at home changes how you work.
Friendship & closeness
When many people need you, but few truly know you.
Self-image & inner calm
When the demands on you are louder than your own sense of self.
Identity & calling
Who you are when roles, titles and expectations grow quiet.
Meaning & faith
The questions success alone cannot answer.
Change & new beginnings
When your life is not to be given up, but transformed.
About me
I am here when you need a counterpart yourself.
I accompany personally, directly and discreetly — not with ready-made templates, but with attention, a watchful heart and impulses that meet you where you are.
I am Lena. For around four years I have been professionally accompanying people. I listen closely, ask the questions that move something, and bring encouragement and clarity where there is no simple answer.
I am not only interested in your role, your numbers or your next step. I am interested in who you are, what God is making visible in your life, and how you can lead, decide and live clearly from that place.
At home in different worlds
I meet people regardless of their status. I am naturally interested in the experiences, stories and feelings of all kinds of people. I spend time with people who have arrived at the very bottom of society, just as I spend time with people who move in circles few can access. Neither changes the worth of a person for me — nor the way I meet them. Perhaps that is part of what makes these conversations possible: you don't have to impress me with your success, and you don't have to hide your harder sides from me.
What I bring
Depth, understanding of people, language, structure and strategic thinking. I quickly see connections, ask questions that go below the surface, and can turn a complex thought into a concrete next step. My own path has already taken me through very different worlds: backpacking, remote work, being self-employed and years of a travelling life, all kinds of people and cultures, personal turning points, the search for freedom and meaning — and finally to a faith that has fundamentally changed how I see success, relationships, responsibility and life. That's why I am interested neither only in your numbers nor only in your inner life. I am interested in the whole.
My direction
I connect two worlds that rarely meet: strategic, entrepreneurial thinking and a very fine sense for people and what happens beneath the surface.
I understand business. I think in business models, positioning, offers, processes, marketing, sales, numbers, technology and smart systems. I can grasp complexity quickly, see structures, and turn many loose thoughts into one clear picture and recognise the important steps. When something is unnecessarily complicated, I look for the simpler system. When an idea is still vague, I can structure it, make it concrete and translate it into something you can act on.
At the same time, I don't only think in systems. I see the person inside them. I notice nuances, tensions, patterns and unspoken dynamics — and connect them with what is factually in front of me.
Maybe this describes my work best: I make the invisible visible — and turn what is visible into something you can work with.
It can be a business idea that so far only exists as a feeling. A decision where the real problem has not even been spoken yet. A pattern in your company or your relationship. A strength you do not yet have words for yourself. Or many thoughts that suddenly become a clear strategy, structure or decision.
I can talk with you about your business model — and five minutes later about what this decision does to your marriage, your identity or your faith. For me, these are not separate worlds. I see the whole.
Your voice
One thing matters deeply to me: that you find your voice — and use it for something good. Your topics, your story, your platform, your company — whatever it is you want to use.
Whether a platform business, an NGO, an association, a personal brand — or simply a company you stand behind as a person: it does not matter at all. What matters is that it carries your voice — and that your voice stands for something good.
The origin
I am 26 years old. At 19, I was diagnosed with severe, recurring depression. I saw a psychotherapist twice — and then stopped going. It was clear to me: no, this is not for me. I will not go into a clinic, and I will not take medication. Something in me resisted. For me, that has always been a sign: something here needs to change. Something wants to be worked through — and patience is needed anyway. So I set out on my own journey. I thought: it cannot get any worse anyway — I am already completely at the bottom. (P.S. It could get worse 😅) But as heavy and dark as that time was: medication was never an option for me. In that time I started to pray. And yes, it passed.
Afterwards I wanted to study psychology. I stopped fairly quickly, because one level was missing. I could understand things, place them, and sort them into the drawers science had prepared. But for me that was not real healing — it treated the surface. Even seeing that certain decisions and events in life had led to this point was not the origin for me. Today I am quite sure: God had already started to come into my life and to work in me back then. I do not know how I would have made it through that time otherwise. Over the following years, I came step by step closer to trust — and, automatically, closer to God.
For almost 1.5 years I have been studying the Bible on the side, and I notice: this is the level that was missing. And suddenly psychology makes sense in the depth I had been missing all along. The human mind, human behaviour, the question of how people can truly be supported and accompanied — not just sorted, but truly. That is my topic. And this is what I feel called to.
I am here to bring real light into darkness — not so that you need me, but so that you can go on with God without me.
Lena Gierl · Personal accompaniment for people with impact
My story
Why I do this has everything to do with my own path.
Chapter 01
Learned early to read people
I grew up in what I would call an interesting family environment. There I learned early to sense moods, people and unspoken dynamics — because I had to. What almost broke me back then is one of my greatest strengths today: I hear what is not said. And I have developed a fine sense of discernment: I recognize early what a situation is really about, which decision will hold — and which will not. I put that clarity to work, deliberately, in what I do today.
Chapter 02
Searching for freedom
Right after school, I traveled for a year with a backpack. Later I wrote a book and published it myself, worked remotely, built companies and deregistered from Germany. I moved in extraordinary circles, trained my body to its limits and achieved and experienced a lot. And still I found: outer freedom and performance do not answer the deepest questions. My work is not for people who should copy my path. I accompany people who already carry responsibility and walk their own path.
Chapter 03
Finding a deeper ground
Then I found my way to God — and with it a changed view on success, relationship, responsibility and meaning. And the realization that what I have been doing informally for years — listening to people, understanding them, thinking through decisions with them, encouraging them — is exactly the work I want to do on purpose. Today, that is my private sparring for people with impact.
How we talk
Understood and thought through
You don't need someone who simply nods. You need someone who listens, honestly disagrees — and thinks decisions through with you, so they hold.
Listening without judging
I listen and I don't judge. You can say everything first, before I share my thoughts.
An honest opinion
I tell you honestly what I think is wrong, or what you should protect yourself from — even when it sounds tempting.
Your own answers
I ask questions until your own answer is there — nothing is placed on top of you.
Support with decisions
Private or professional: I walk alongside you through hard decisions — as a counterpart at eye level, not as a service provider.
How I work with you
Two things I work with.
Discernment
Listening closely, examining, noticing patterns and contradictions — and recognising what lies beneath the surface. Always with the awareness that my own perception needs to be examined, too.
Encouragement
Lifting people up with words, speaking truth, giving hope — and strengthening them to take the next right step.
At their core the two belong together: recognising what lies beneath the surface and bringing it up — to translate it. Building a bridge between what you sense and the next right step.
The common thread
Understanding people — through communication.
My overarching theme is communication: communication as the visible expression of invisible dynamics. What someone says is rarely the whole thing. What is more interesting is what is not said — where a misunderstanding begins, where responsibility is pushed away, where a need exists that nobody speaks out.
I make visible what communication reveals about people, relationships and dynamics.
This is exactly the level I work on in our sparring — not as theory, but with your real conversations: from business as well as from private life. Whether business partners, a team, your partner or friends: everywhere, language reveals what is really going on.
Bring your real conversations with you.
In sparring you can bring real chats, messages or emails — and we read them together: What did you actually say — and what did you mean? What was not said? Where did something escalate over a single sentence? And how could a clearer answer have sounded? Together we translate what happens between the lines — and find the words that truly carry.
Confidential stays confidential: what you bring is anonymised and never leaves the room. It stays between us — like everything else.
What has grown out of it
What changes when much has already been achieved.
The people I work with have already achieved a lot. They know the methods, have played the mindset game through — and can reach their goals. What they were looking for was not another edge: it was depth. Being truly understood, without having to perform. And a calm that is not another project. Their success does not disappear — it becomes deeper. I don't say this as a promise, but as what has already happened.
Calmer — with a peace inside that is not another project.
Truly understood for the first time — by someone who really sees them, without them having to deliver.
Released from constant optimising — and clearer than ever.
Back in conversation with their family — some grew close again after years.
More understanding and closeness in their partnership — with just as much responsibility.
Set free from addictions — smoking, drinking: these things simply lost their meaning. They no longer wanted them.
Healthier — with more balance and fulfilment, without giving anything up.
And from that, almost on its own: moves abroad, businesses of their own, new projects, a personal brand close to the heart.
And it doesn't end with a session: it is a quiet, deeper process — one that keeps going.
Carried by faith
At the centre is a faith that does not need to be loud to be firm.
I accompany under and with God: with a watchful heart, wisdom and encouragement. Not to make your life smaller — but so it may be transformed and your freedom gains direction.
The private format
I take only three people at a time. Not more. Full focus on you.
No course, no group, no community. Weekly 1:1 sparring for people with responsibility. Discretion is not an add-on but part of the offer. We talk for at least three months — so something can truly move, and you can feel things changing in you and around you. Gladly longer, if you wish. Entry starts at €1,800 per month.

And because this is a real investment, you should know what it means: not a service from a catalogue, but someone who is simply there for you — like a friend, before, between and after our sessions.
Between our sessions
Some things don't wait for the next session. That's why you can reach me between our conversations at any time — whenever you want. Write to me in our private WhatsApp chat, in text or as a voice message. I read along personally and reply as soon as it is possible for me.
Once a month: check-in
Once a month, we have a dedicated check-in session: we look together at what has happened — at measurable and visible results. What has moved? What is coming up? What is not? That is how we approach everything systematically and strategically. Not to put pressure on you — quite the opposite: it is there to take pressure off. But so that it stays accountable and something real can grow out of it.
What you can expect
My faith shapes how I listen, what I value and how I approach people.
I pray for the people I accompany. When I believe an insight is worth sharing, I share it — with humility, and without pretending that my interpretation is infallible. This is not a method I sell: it is a way of being.
My core values
IntegrityRespectTrust
The first conversation is free. If it does not fit, it does not fit — then you simply say no. No pressure, no obligation.
You don't have to take anything on faith that you cannot check yourself. In the first conversation you will sense for yourself whether this kind of counterpart serves you well — and whether we continue.
Discreet enquiryVoices
What people write after our conversations.
Real messages — unedited and shared with joy.
Application
Apply for one of the three spots.
First of all: this is not for everyone.
I work with only three people at a time. Before we begin, there is a mutual promise of confidentiality: your name, your story, your process — none of it ever leaves the room. I treat your information in strict confidence and do not pass it on to third parties.
This accompaniment is personal and intensive. It requires time, energy and a serious investment: €1,800 per month, for at least three months. If that price or that timeline stops you, it is simply not the right moment for us — and that is okay.
If it didn't stop you: the more honest your answers, the clearer it becomes whether we are the right fit for each other. Don't overthink it. Feel it.
