High Performance. Deep Peace. No Compromise.

You don’t have to choose between success and sanity.
 There’s a way to lead powerfully—without losing yourself in the process.

They see the title.
 The achievements.
 The calm, collected version of you in the boardroom.

But they don’t see the part you keep quiet.
 The exhaustion.
 The pressure that never lets up.
 The way your mind races at 2am.
 The growing gap between your ambition… and your well-being.

You’re holding it all together—because you believe that’s what leaders do.
 But deep down, you know: it’s not sustainable.

What if peace of mind made you a better leader?

This isn’t about slowing down or stepping back.
 It’s about shifting how you operate—so performance doesn’t come at the expense of your health, your team, or your family.

Lead with clarity, not pressure.

Make faster, cleaner decisions—with less noise.

Be the visionary again—not the fire extinguisher.

Create trust and synergy in your team without micromanaging.

Come home and feel like you’ve actually arrived.

This is for the CEO who’s ready to lead differently.

 I work with high-level founders and executives who are done with the hustle-for-worthiness loop.
 They want their companies to thrive—without sacrificing what matters most.
 They’re not looking for hacks or hype. They’re ready for real change.

“It’s not about doing more. It’s about being different.”

A different kind of coaching for a different kind of leader.

Transformative Immersive Days

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!

Unleashing the Unlimited Mind

🧠 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.

Driving Success in Strategy and Innovation

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.

Exceptional Analytical and People Skills

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.

Insights For More Ease

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.

Huge Impact on Clarity and Less Worry

I have been working with Johannes for a year and a half, first individually and recently together with my colleague. I am incredibly grateful for his guidance—both during and beyond our coaching sessions!
A lot has changed since we started: I think differently, I read emails without overinterpreting, and that alone has made a huge impact. I generally see things more clearly and worry less!

Navigating Startup Challenges with Confidence

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.

Clarity and Peace of Mind among Uncertainty

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.

Transformative CEO Intensive Days

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

Strengthened, Inspired and Enriched

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

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!

Guided by Wisdom to Perfect Actions

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.

Strategic Problem-Solving for Life’s Challenges

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!

Becoming a True Leader

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.
