Svenja Neupert
Founder of Kompetenzia International
Svenja Neupert has extensive experience in many fields in addition to academia - science, industry, NGOs and administration.  She has been described as an inspirational bridge between the academic and entrepreneurial worlds.

She has been providing transformative yet highly practical training, coaching and organisational development for 30 years and is an engaging public speaker on forward-thinking topics. 

At the heart of these topics are the questions:
  • What do I really want in life?
  • How can I recognise my core talents?
  • How do I find a lucrative business that matches my deepest passions?

Svenja offers her thematic formats in German and English  all across Germany, and internationally.
In her unique empathetic and flexible style, she helps to create workable  syntheses where previously there were only conflicting goals and insurmountable obstacles.

Svenja's special seminar offers include:
  • Life and career navigation for a scientific or non-scientific future
  • Development of a positive attitude and resilience in turbulent times
  • Financial security and self-determination for people who want to stay in science
  • Design thinking and other creative methods for scientists and non-profit projects
 
Svenja's seminars are an introduction to her unique approach and passion: helping people find or, if necessary, create the ideal career future for themselves, one that fits their individual talents and the skills they have acquired along their life path so far.

In addition to seminars and public talks, Svenja offers support programmes of between 3-12 months in which one#s own deep personality comes to light and a business is developed from this inspiration.

About us

Svenja Neupert Dip. Paedagogin
Founder, Kompetenzia International

Svenja has more than 30 years' experience of delivering inspirational coaching, seminars and speeches.

​Svenja's unique visionary perspective, which is at the same time completely practical, produces sustainable results with a multitude of ways to integrate your goals into daily life.

An essential conviction for Svenja is that everyone has an inner compass - a purpose which gives him or her a lifelong orientation, and which especially equips one to cope with challenges in times of uncertainty.

Very often the view of this ‘inner compass’ seems to be obscured by daily workload and time pressure.  Sometimes people do not dare to ask themselves essential questions.

It is Svenja's passion, and purpose, to encourage and support you with just such questions.
