Time to introduce myself and say hello

26d • General discussion

To value this community I am as open as possible.

I am Kai. And for some reason I am often called "the social guy". So I kept that name 😉.

In my earlier years I was going to become a police officer (studied and drove a police car... also crashed it).

I had my first business in school and an event with 3000 people parallel - while becoming a police guy.

I quitted and did nearly everything in sales. So good that I started training sales teams. On a business plattform I built with 1700 members the biggest local business network in my area. Up to 200 people showed up in our monthly live events even.

Parallel I built an on-site massage business with around 200 "angels" running around in bars and offices, fairs and even at television sets.

After that I started a promotion agency where we became the biggest sales agency for Barclays at universities (2000 cards a month).

That led me to do sales for an energy drink and some other beverage brands. And somehow I started a coffee business. With our own warehouse, where we would also ship tea, chai and more than 1000 products.

Cut in 2019 - wrong people. I followed my passion and did what I already have done for years: NLP. I flew 5 weeks to Trainers Training with John Grinder in Portugal, after that to Orlando with Richard Bandler.

During that time I built up the coffee business again. Just alone and as dropshipping one. That financed my journeys around the world.

I mentored along with John Grinder trainers and coaches and evaluated them. Became recognized as Newcode NLP Trainer as well.

Did Master Trainers with Robert Dilts, Hypnosis, Street Hypnosis, scientifically backed up personality models, with two leading scientists in Germany, and met my girlfriend. Who said...

... "if you don’t have AD(H)D, I dont know who has." What else to do other than diving deep into neurodivergencies and networking with experts and like-wired people.

Finally, after so much experience, I met the guy who co-founded what today is known as NLP. At that time it was Meta.

Frank became a friend and still is. It was a missing piece and I started doing free master classes with him. At that time he couldnt travel out of Odessa anymore and didn't want to. With now over 80 he is active and ready to support me and others further.

Then I crashed. Found myself in a massive burnout and didn't know how I got there. That other, active and skilled me seemed to be far away. My coffee business went down after corona. The company is facing a bankruptcy.

I didn't do all of what I knew better. In fact I just waited and witnessed how things got worse cause I did nothing. Nothing but feeling bad and worse cause I could and would have to change it. But.. I didn't feel like it.

Until...

I changed my mind. Did what I would tell and teach others. Made decisions as well. No more coffee - no more focus on solving. Instead growing.

Without me being where and who I never thought I ever could be, I wouldn't know the value of many things. Wouldn't understand people who say they can't.

While you might be the same inside, the world 🌎 turns. The outside changes. When everything moves, it’s good to also start moving. One of our brains main purposes - besides keeping us alive - is to keep us moving.

I mapped Meta with Neuro Centered Systems and Neurotypes and started to open a Scool Community recently to have a plattform.

I have a big network already, and more contacts in my mobile than followers on LinkedIn (crossed 4000 recently).

Meta Foundation Skills and Neurotypes is it now. A part of it. Helping trainers, mentors, coaches - and simply people - to think and behave in ways that benefit them. Including those with AD(H)D / Autism or whatever divergent neurology.

And I became funny and sporty again. Started annoying my girlfriend with not great singing skills.

I guess I love people and connecting people.

Community to me means feeling community. Like being part of a pack. If that makes sense...

Now.. thats me. Happy to meet you ;)
