About Me – Lisa Zettl

“Is your glass half empty or half full?” asked the mole.

“I think I’m glad I have a glass,” said the boy.

(Mackesy, Charlie: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse; 14th edition; Berlin; Ullstein Buchverlage GmbH; 2021)

This attitude shapes my outlook on life and is reflected in my work: respectful, open, realistic, and focused on resources and solutions.

I am convinced that mindset is key—the way we see ourselves and others.

As a consultant and coach, I help people—both in professional and personal contexts—discover their strengths, shift their perspectives, and apply these insights for their own benefit and that of others.

It all starts with a small step: a conversation, a spark to set something new in motion.

Let’s discover together what you’re capable of.
