Let’s redefine success

Whether you’re showing up for yourself or for your organisation - I can help you move through what’s holding you back.
Time to redefine what success feels like.

For Organisations

Creating a culture where everyone can flourish.

I speak, train and consult organisations on a new type of leadership, mental health and cultural change. When balancing politics, pressure and potential, you want someone who has been in those shoes.

Therapy & Coaching

Empowering you to live life on your own terms.

You want to feel more like you again, or maybe find out who that even is. I specialize in the queer community and men who have never done therapy before. But I work with people from all walks of life.

AS FEATURED IN

I know how it feels

I’m from Ruhla, a tiny, fairytale village in the forests of Germany.
Ever heard of it? Can’t blame you.
It was peaceful on the outside, but I never felt quite at ease on the inside.
Before I founded heyManuel, I spent 8 years in senior People & Culture roles at Google.
Now I help people and organisations drop the mask and make real change from the inside out.
