WHO AM I
investing in young leaders
Welcome to my part of the world!
I am an ordinary person loved by an extraordinary God. It is a privilege and joy to share some parts of my journey of this friendship here. Some are reflections on my leadership learnings, some are travel blogs or inspirations from meeting amazing people from around the world.
Scheitern erwünscht
Evi’s book

Scheitern erwünscht!
Wenn Leiten schmerzt! Craig Groeschel sagte in seinem Leiterschaftspodcast in 2020: “Wenn du gerade nicht leidest, leitest du wahrscheinlich nicht.” Wir können Leiten leider nicht von Schmerzen und Krisen trennen. Sie gehören dazu. Ich möchte dich ermutigen, dennoch dranzubleiben, quasi den Schmerz zu umarmen.
Ich habe ganz persönlich erlebt: Schmerzhafte Prozesse und unser Umgang damit haben ein großes Wachstumspotenzial. Ich möchte dich in deinen schmerzhaften Zeiten anfeuern, durch Krisen Gott neu kennenzulernen und in deiner Leiterpersönlichkeit zu reifen. Es ist OK zu scheitern, es ist nicht OK, liegen zu bleiben.

Evi’s Blog
My passion is to see people discovering who they are made to be and where God wants to use each of them to cause a real change and to write history. We have value and purpose. Sometimes we need someone else to push us beyond our own limits to do what we were meant to do.
I was 23 years old when I wrote down my personal mission statement. This has guided me ever since, though of course there has been some adaptation and tuning.
You can find some inspiration on these topics in my blog posts but also in the various teaching sessions I have done on “The art of pain in leadership”, event management, leadership etc.
DARE GREATLY – RAISE YOUR VOICE
Some people think I am courageous doing all the different things I am invited to, but too often I feel scared, afraid, not able to or good enough. But I still do the things because I don´t want fear to be controlling me nor receiving too much power and attention. It...
Choosing hope – my December reflections
For the first time in years, I took the whole month of December being far away from home, also being far away for Christmas. This month was rather unique, wonderful, inspiring, and interesting. The picture above, taken from a trail opposite my accommodation, mirrors...
REVIEWING 2023 – what a year!
I am grateful for 2023! I will most likely say this about any other year because when I stop and remember all that God has done, I can only be grateful and thank God, family, friends, and the various opportunities that have been entrusted to me. But yes, 2023 has been...
GRATEFULNESS IS A DECISION
Gratefulness means being thankful. It requires reflection and stillness, two things that can be difficult in our busy, overstimulated everyday lives. It means to become still and reflect on what I have received. Acknowledging who is in control. I recently did a short...

BOOK: BELIEVE IT – HOW TO GO FROM UNDERESTIMATED TO UNSTOPPABLE
Loved reading this book by Jamie Kern Lima, founder of IT Cosmetics who also spoke at this year's Global Leadership Summit. What a story of indeed being totally underestimated but her vision to see the beauty industry transformed for ordinary women to see their beauty...
Let’s GO
RUN the RACE!
… and never give up!
Running the race and finishing well in leadership is a challenge. The Apostle Paul encourages young Timothy in the Bible (2 Tim 2:4) writing, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” To finish the race, we need other people to cheer us on and walk the often painful journey of leadership with us. Some statistics say that more than 60% of leaders are no longer in leadership by the time they retire. This is not a great statistic! The biggest breaking point for leaders seems to occur between the age of 35-45 years old. I love to help leaders last in this. I have experienced my own share of pain in leadership and therefore understand some of the challenges, also as a woman in leadership.
Join me on this journey of running the race well! There are times I am limping more than I am running but together we can make it.

Theologian
I love the Word of God and learning how to apply this to my own life as well as seeking ways to apply this to our society, culture, events etc. I am not a theoretical person, so theology always needs to work for me. I love learning, so my latest achievement has been completing my PhD in Theology (dept. Missiology) where I analyzed the impact of events on attendees.
event manager
I love events and seeing them bear long-lasting outcomes. I am involved in various events run by other organisations and also head up some with my own team. I also train other event organisers across Europe and the globe in a year round mentoring program.
Mentor & Coach
As a leadership coach I am passionate helping you to live your full potential and embrace joy and challenges on this leadership journey.

Loving People
What gets me out of bed?
I love people. People give me energy. People let me fly. People are who I want to invest into.
I am particularly passionate about young people. Young people, their leaders, and also younger leaders. People who are still discovering who they are and what their purpose in life is. People who dream wild dreams and go after them. People who dare to step out in faith and have courage where others would rather stay at home.
With my own organization Lead Now e.V. and the various other Christian youth organisations and church networks I am involved with, I invest most of my time into encouraging, equipping and connecting younger leaders and youth leaders. I have a special focus on Europe (also having done my MA with a focus on European Mission) but also work globally. There is nothing more thrilling for me than doing this – and it does get me out of bed every morning!
encouraging
I love to encourage and see other people fly.
equipping
Through resources equipping people in their walk of life and leadership.
Investing
Where possible go deep with people and explore their calling.

I love Poppies
Well, I guess you must have assumed so
as they shine bright and red on my website????
If I would have to choose my favourite flower,
poppies would be in the top category.
Why?
Because they always grow best in a team
and love to collaborate with corn flowers and wheat.
You can see their colour from afar and insects are attracted to them.
Next to shining bright and lighten the mood,
they also are into multiplication
and their seeds can be used for various purposes.
