Peak performance in inner peace
About Karsten Mohr
The good news in the lack of time: peace and serenity is not an issue of a lack of time, but an issue of a lack of tricks and a few hidden cogs in our inner life.
Looking inwards purposefully and efficiently guarantees a better life on the outside … I swear by ✌🏽😊 .
Get off your mental merry-go-round, stop being driven and restless. Prioritize your mental and personal well-being. It works!!! Despite management stress and all the unrest on the outside.
I know what I am writing about because I have walked the path. And that is exactly what motivates me to share with you everything that I have experienced and that has helped me. Undogmatic, non-religious without a wild esoteric superstructure. What I convey, I experience and have experienced. I do my very best to share it with you.
30 years of success in management positions in national and international companies. Self-employed, entrepreneur, family, divorce, health at rock bottom, resurrected. Do you know aspects of this?
I would particularly like to encourage my male colleagues, entrepreneurs, managers and the self-employed. I see a particular need here for men who have to juggle years of full power, family and/or relationship(s), friends and hobbies … I see a particular need here.
Looking inwards in a targeted and efficient way guarantees a better and more successful life on the outside … I swear ✌🏽😊 .
High performance in inner peace is not only possible, it is the better alternative.
My work
How I work as a freediving and meditation teacher was shown by Bayerischer Rundfunk in the leisure magazine with Max Schmidt:
Go Deep Inside - my way inwards
Sounds strange, but it’s true: with soccer ⚽️ started “meditating” and doing inner work when I was 13 years old. It was never going to let go of me.
I had a fairly fresh coach in the C-youth team at a suburban Munich club. He studied sport. He knew all about autogenic training and visualization techniques. I was completely fascinated by how this could influence my performance on the soccer pitch.
Before I pedaled towards the clubhouse on my 10-speed road bike, my ritual was to lie down on my bed for 15 minutes. The images and scenes that I visualized during this resting phase became reality. Ok … not all of them 😇 … I think we also lost games because the others in the team didn’t take visualization so seriously 😉 … or the other team visualized everything even better 😂.
No matter! It was proof enough for me and the initial spark to deal with the topics of mental techniques, autosuggestion, meditation, psychic connections etc. for the rest of my life.

Whether it’s soccer or breaking boards in Tae-Kwon-Do or business meetings or presentations in front of hundreds of spectators or potential customers or legal disputes or in front of steep powder slopes or relationship crises or serious health problems or before sliding down into the deep blue.
My great motivation is to pass this treasure on to anyone who is open to it.
