After managing $100 million global accounts and becoming a certified High Performance Coach, I discovered that Christian business leaders thrive best when they have both expert guidance and a community of peers who share their values and challenges. Convene's unique blend of one-on-one coaching and monthly peer group workshops creates the perfect environment for sustainable growth without burnout, allowing leaders to substantially grow their business while working less—just as my first client did. I chose Convene because it aligns perfectly with my mission to help Christian business leaders work "on" their businesses rather than solely "in" them, creating enterprises and a lives that honor God while making a meaningful impact in their communities.
Born and raised in Germany, I built my career as a mechanical engineer in the automotive industry, dedicating nearly three decades to technical sales and program management. This journey included managing international projects with global suppliers and overseeing a $100 million annual sales account as a program manager. My expertise with suppliers and customers on all five continents gave me a strong foundation in business excellence and global leadership.
When I left the corporate world to start my own real estate investment business, I encountered the unique challenges that come with owning my own business. Networking with other small business owners revealed we shared similar struggles—working excessive hours, feeling isolated in decision-making, and struggling to maintain balance.
My transformation began when I engaged a certified high-performance coach through Brendon Burchard's organization. This experience fundamentally changed my approach to business, helping me become more focused and confident while improving my performance without burnout. Recognizing the power of this process, I pursued the same certification, becoming a Certified High Performance Coach equipped to support professionals and business owners.
My first coaching client—a business owner generating $3 million in sales but experiencing burnout, health issues, and family strain—validated this approach. Through our work together, he quadrupled his business to $12 million annually while actually working fewer hours than before.
As a Christian with over 40 years of Bible study, I've always integrated spiritual growth with personal development. This perspective influenced my coaching and led to the publishing of my book, "Letting Go Saved My Life," which also became the subject of a TEDx talk.
My volunteer work with Branches Worldwide allowed me to mentor Christian business leaders globally, helping them implement redemptive business models that create excellent company cultures and meaningful community impact. Currently mentoring leaders in Kenya, South Africa, and Romania, I've refined my ability to help Christian business owners work "on" their businesses rather than just "in" them.

Judeth Wilson, Founder & Lead Trainer of WeTrain and The Trainers Ultimate Toolkit, Sydney, Australia
I really enjoyed going through the coaching program with Reinhard. I looked forward to the session each week. As a result of the program, my health has improved as I am far more conscious of the daily, consistent habits that I need to do to enjoy optimal health. Reinhard's approach was so do-able for me. Another area that has greatly improved is my life balance. I have set up boundaries that I didn't have before and enjoy more relaxing evenings...without the laptop on my lap! Reinhard has a really lovely style as a coach as he is approachable, and I never felt judged at all. He made it easy to open up and I felt I could trust him right from the start. I feel blessed to have had this coaching experience and I highly recommend Reinhard to others wanting to "step up" in all areas of their lives.
