YVONNE MARTINI | BUSINESS CONSULTANT AND PERSONAL COACH
In the vibrant heart of Berlin, where creativity meets innovation, my journey as a business consultant and coach unfolds, deeply rooted in the creative and startup industries. With over two decades of navigating the high seas of C-level management, my career has been a mosaic of leadership, strategy, and a relentless drive for social impact. Yet, this voyage has been anything but straightforward.
In the reflection of Berlin’s pulsating energy, I’ve faced my own shadows. The 2008 financial crisis was not just a global headline; it was my reality, challenging me to steer my company through stormy waters. That period taught me resilience but at a cost. I learned the hard way that loyalty begins with oneself. Burnout knocked on my door, a stern reminder that placing everyone’s wellbeing above my own was a path to personal eclipse.
This was my awakening. As I approached my late 30s, the concept of ’success‘ took on a new form. It was no longer about the external accolades but aligning my work with my core values. This pivot was not just a change in direction; it was a transformation into a venture with a mission— to drive societal change through innovative business models.
Today, my story continues to evolve. Each day is a page turned in my book of personal development, guided by the wisdom of my coach, Johannes Braun. Together, we explore uncharted territories of my potential, ensuring that my journey is not just about what I do, but who I become.
As the founder and leader of ventures like YVA, YOUNG SOCIAL INNOVATION, Tiny Campus Education, HAUS GLANZ, and flora&faunavisions, my entrepreneurial spirit has been the compass guiding me through diverse industries, from creative and digital realms to marketing. My experiences have not only shaped my approach to business but have also imbued me with a unique perspective on leadership, innovation, and resilience.
I am more than my titles and the companies I’ve shaped; I am a testament to the power of transformation, a lifelong learner committed to empowering others, and a catalyst for change in the ever-evolving landscape of business. Whether as a partner in your venture, a guide in your organization’s development, or a mentor in navigating the complexities of the market, I bring not just skills, but a story of rebirth, learning, and unwavering determination.
In me, you’ll find a blend of business leadership, strategic foresight, and an innate ability to foster personal + business growth and innovation. I am not just solving complex challenges; I am redefining them, always with an eye towards empowering others and pioneering new paths. This is my invitation to you: Let’s create, innovate, evolve and impact together.
