Personal Details

Bio

My name is Ben Hartwig and I hold a Ph.D. in genetics, worked as a professional actor in improvised theater and am the founder of Neuroblitz. I am the first facilitator in Germany to professionally combine science and applied improvisation.

My favorite quote is “Be yourself, everyone else is already taken” - Oscar Wilde. I stay true to myself by tirelessly searching for new ways to create, innovate and play.

Become resilient

The word resilience comes from Latin and means “to bounce back” or “to spring back”. Resilient people master change, adversity and hardship better than non-resilient people. The good news: we can grow our resilience and with it our psychological willpower.
Simply put:
Most people are soda cans. When there is pressure, they dent. Don’t be a soda can. Become a squishy ball … We’ll teach you how.

Communicate better

We all want to be understood, but sometimes communication feels like a foreign language. That’s because we all have our own communication style. Being able to adapt your communication style is like finding the missing piece to a puzzle. This type of adaptation requires flexibility that can be trained.
Simply put:
Our program will teach you how to identify and master different communication styles so that your message is understood by everyone.

Lead the Change

Many leaders become disconnected from those they lead and their vision gets lost. Without a vision there is no direction for the team you are working with. Modern leaders ensure a dynamic balance between autonomy and alignment.

Our program teaches you how to drive change and make sure no one is left behind.

Simply put:
Your team is like a flock of birds. Each bird can change direction but the team will always move in the same direction. Too much autonomy and you will not have a flock. Too much alignment and you will miss opportunities along the way.
