SONJA PIONTEK
"Powerhouse of inspiration" BUNTE
Sonja Piontek transforms. She not only inspires - she motivates people to take action. With radically clear thought-provoking ideas, uncompromising implementation power, and infectious energy, she breaks down barriers and sparks the courage to achieve great things.
Coming from a modest background, she has achieved everything on her own. Significant losses and challenges have shaped her life, made her strong, and taught her valuable lessons.
As an award-winning entrepreneur and SPIEGEL bestselling author, expedition leader, and sought-after keynote speaker, she stands for extraordinary success - on stage, in business, and in life.
The Kitzbühel resident by choice has already lived in six countries and was marketing director for BMW Asia.
Today, as a high-impact executive coach, she guides entrepreneurs with 6- to 8-figure incomes, top-level executives, and world-class athletes to maximum success.
With appearances in 49 countries and tens of thousands of inspired people worldwide, Sonja knows exactly what it takes to make a real impact. She is clear, demanding, and uncompromising in her mission:
Transformation that lasts.
Success that sets standards.
Because ordinary won't change the world!

THE PRAISE TRAP
IF YOU WANT TO FLY, SURROUND YOURSELF WITH EAGLES, NOT PENGUINS
HOW APPLAUSE AND SUCCESS CAN HOLD YOU BACK FROM REACHING THE NEXT LEVEL
A radically new perspective on success: Sonja Piontek challenges one of the core beliefs of successful people and shows why recognition, of all things, can become an invisible comfort zone. A keynote that brings about lasting change in high performers—because it allows them to view success from a perspective most have never seen before.
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN, THEN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!
DOING IS LIKE WANTING,
BUT EVEN COOLER
• What should you do if nothing or too little is happening in the company?
• What should you do if your employees are not (yet) on board?
• Ways out of the complaining consumer attitude and toward responsibility.
• Breaking through the eternal "we've always done it this way."
• End of overly cautious small-minded thinking.
• Easy-to-use tools and lasting inspiration to encourage people to act responsibly.
