Your Personal Brand is the most important project in your life.
Most of us worked on myriads of client projects over the years, always prioritising others while not having time to work and leverage your personal brand for impact.
But guess what?
My Coaching can help you change that and bridge the gap between ‘who you are’ and ‘who you want to be’.
By creating the space to identify your real strengths, design a strategy that springs out of your personality, to transmit your story in a way that increases visibility to your peers and therefore opportunities.
I focus on your human value in times of AI, personal branding is a powerful tool for high-potentials, entrepreneurs, and creative leaders, especially women, to shape their professional identity, advance their careers, and positively impact the organisations and industries they are part of.

Hi, I'm Jürgen Salenbacher
My purpose is to coach you to design the most awesome version of you.
The devastating loss of one of my closest friends in an accident years ago was a wake-up call. It made me realise how short life is and pushed me to reshape my path, choosing to lead with both heart and mind, seeking fulfilment in everything I do. It’s the reason why I moved to Barcelona two decades ago.
Founding my first company at the age of 26 gave me genuine, hands-on experience of the pressure of leader- and ownership. It taught me the fine edge between success and failure, emphasising the crucial role of amazing professionals, all while working with some of the world’s most famous personal and corporate brands.
This experience is the key driver why I love to coach individuals to brand, market, and monetize themselves, assist teams in developing and cultivating effective collaboration, and support organizations in becoming more innovative and customer-focused.
To aid in these efforts, I designed the Creative Personal Branding Canvas, a powerful tool that helps individuals and teams clarify their goals, identify core values, and map out actionable steps towards achieving their personal and professional visions.
The Canvas is a practical reflection of my commitment to helping others navigate their paths with purpose and clarity.

My Holistic Approach:
Crafting Your Sustainable Personal Brand Business
Step 1:
Reframe Your Mindset
At the core of your transformation lies the need to redefine your mindset. This isn't just a step; it's the foundation, the epicenter of change. Embracing self-awareness becomes the catalyst for the evolution of your "self-leadership, self-management, and self-care."
Step 2:
Design the Fusion Of:
Your personal brand — Who you are and who you aspire to become. Let's craft a narrative that authentically reflects your essence, ensuring that your personal brand aligns seamlessly with your goals.
Your personal business model — Your value proposition is the heartbeat of your journey. We'll define and refine it, paving the way for the development of services, products, and strategies that resonate with your unique vision.
Your personal advisory board — Surround yourself with confidential experts—legal, health, coaching, finances, and more. These professionals will serve as your trusted guides, providing insights and support as you navigate the complexities of your personal and professional life.
Your personal ecosystem — Build a network of positive, productive, and multidisciplinary relationships. Together, we'll foster connections that empower and inspire, creating a support system that propels you toward your goals.
Let's embark on this transformative journey together.
In crafting this fusion, we emphasize on:
Substance, Style, Conviction and Grace
Let's break down the concept of to understand how these four elements come together to create a compelling and well-rounded presence of your personal brand identity:
Substance
This is the foundation of your credibility. It encompasses your expertise on a specific topic, reflecting your education, knowledge, experience, and references. It's what sets you apart as a trusted authority in your field.
Style
Your style defines how you interact with the world. It's not just about how you talk, but also how you listen, write, perform, and even how you dress. Your style is your unique way of presenting yourself and your ideas to others, leaving a lasting impression.
Conviction
Conviction relates to your principles, values, and moral beliefs. It's the commitment to ethical conduct and integrity. Your perspective on ethics shapes your actions and decisions, earning trust and respect from those you engage with.
Grace
Grace is the elegance in your relationships with society. It's about how you navigate social and professional interactions with respect, and empathy. It's the art of making others feel valued and understood.
In essence, "Substance, Style, Conviction, and Grace" underscores the importance of being well-rounded and authentic in your personal and professional interactions.
When you combine these elements effectively, you create a powerful and compelling presence that resonates with others, fosters trust, and paves the way for meaningful connections and success.
Evaluate yourself on these values (from 0-10), identify areas for growth, and embark on a journey that harmonizes your personal and professional spheres.
