Andrea Danner
Expert for leadership and growth
About me
My path has led me from the joy of working with numbers, data and facts to the joy of guiding people, especially leaders, through challenging change processes. As Managing Director of AD Leadership Consulting GmbH and in international consulting and HR management roles in Germany and abroad, I have mastered numerous leadership challenges, experienced and supported change.
For more than 20 years I have supported international organizations in the assessment and development of executives. Based on the experience of many thousands of management audits and coaching processes, as well as my personal leadership experience, I have been able to gain deep insights into how underlying motivations, strengths, behavioral preferences and needs influence leadership dynamics and leadership impact.
Key findings have shown that
- Pressure – whether internal or external – is often a short-term driver, but not a good long-term companion.
- A purposeful goal that unites head and heart creates clarity, unleashes creative energy and strengthens presence, courage and decisive action.
- Leaders who embrace this understanding create a culture of clarity and emotional alignment within their teams—a foundation for team flow, creativity, and meaningful success.
My principles
The Power of Reality and Energy – My Journey
Reality is always at play, shaping our lives through an often unconscious or unrecognized blueprint that underlies our circumstances. This blueprint generates an ever-active field of energy. The more consciously we understand this foundation—by identifying and addressing unconscious beliefs—the more effectively we can shape our reality.
Balance as the Key – The Dynamic Equilibrium
Yin and Yang represent the balance of opposing yet complementary forces, collectively known as Chi—our life force. Achieving harmony within this dynamic equilibrium fosters clarity, adaptability, and a greater sense of ease in life.
Everything Is Energy – Always in Motion
Energy follows a natural rhythm: from highs to lows, summer to winter, birth to death. This rhythm is not static but continuously evolving—a creative process of growth and transformation, a flow of energies that seek balance, as we observe in the cycles of nature.
Learning from Inspiring Teachers
Over the past 30 years, I have had the privilege of learning from remarkable teachers who have profoundly influenced my journey:
The New York University, the former Hay Group & the Fritz Perls Institute provided me with comprehensive trainings in executive assessment, leadership development and integrative coaching, merging diverse methodologies.
Dr. Dan and Ava Harrison allowed deep insights into paradoxical principles that simplify the complexity of life and uncover growth opportunities.
Steven Kotler’s groundbreaking work in flow research, is providing scientifically grounded and rational perspectives on human potential.
Uwe Albrecht’s Intuitive Diagnostic is – for me – the best structured, analytical approach to intuition, uncovering unconscious patterns, recognizing deep causal relationships, and approaching complex challenges with precision.
Chris Duncan and Rochelle Weir are teaching the transformative power of “true goals” and mastering the ability to shift from pressure to creative tension. Janet Bray Attwood’s “Passion Test” was a turning point, helping me reconnect with my passions and clarify what truly matters, even during life’s most challenging phases.
Understanding and Harnessing Energy
These exceptional teachers have enriched my understanding of how to work with energy, transform it, and guide it into a harmonious flow. This, I believe, is the cornerstone of a healthy, meaningful, and fulfilling life—one marked by clarity, purpose, and ease.
The truth cannot be silenced. It is the child who always asks: ‚Why?‘

Leading my Team into Flow!
Understanding Me
For starters – we may use one or more assessment tools, to gain deep insights into your current situation, challenges, and untapped growth potential. Such as:
Harrison Assessments
An online questionnaire that provides a comprehensive understanding of your professional preferences, tendencies, and needs.
Learn more at ad-leadership.com.
Whole Life Profile
This advanced tool delves deeper, uncovering values, beliefs, and other influential mindsets in 5 essential areas of your life.
More details are available at wholelifeprofile.com.
In a two-hour session, we reflect on the results and lay the foundation for your „true goals“— heartfelt desires that align mind and heart, offering guidance toward your unique purpose.
In subsequent, individually tailored sessions we will:
- define your true goals,
- overcome initial limiting beliefs, and
open new pathways for your personal growth and development.
Creating Space
Creating space to break free from stress, pressure, and doubt, paving the way for your personal growth journey is the goal of this module:
Here, you will explore processes and techniques to reconnect with yourself and your inner voice, even in challenging situations. You will gain clarity on what is really happening, what is the root cause to the effect, and what may be blocking or weighing you down.
We take a structured approach to uncovering stress factors, limiting beliefs, and attitudes, offering deeper insights and paving the way for new solutions.
The goal is to create mental „space“ consistently fostering ease, gaining fresh perspectives, and developing the ability to approach challenges, situations, and triggering behaviors of others with greater distance and clarity.
Building on the insights from „Understanding Me,“ we focus on:
- Cultivating inner balance by transforming seemingly conflicting intentions and issues from an „either-or“ mindset into a harmonious „and.“
- Dissolving blocks and resistance, opening up space to feel light, energized, and empowered to move forward with strength and joy.
- Navigating life’s ups and downs by understanding the principles of flow: creation and dissolution; distinguishing between essential actions and “nice-to-haves”.
- Establishing an intuitive perspective from your higher self (your super conscious, soul or inner being) – next to your analytical mind’s approach.
Leading Life
This module explores the essence of living a „Guided Life“ and empowers you to take the helm as the CEO of your unique life journey.
A life driven by external demands often feels like being stuck in the „engine room“ or endlessly running in a „hamster wheel.“ It is dominated by an endless list of tasks, not rooted in your own goals but shaped by the expectations of others or internal pressures. The craving for recognition often fuels this cycle.
A „guided life,“ on the other hand, means getting ahead of the wave. It is the conscious decision to take charge of your life – to become the leader of your own journey.
It starts with:
- Gaining clarity about which thoughts and beliefs empower you and where you want to focus your attention.
- Developing rituals that support you and foster your personal growth.
- Learning to shift from a draining „problem orientation“ to an inspiring, creative tension.
- Discovering how to manifest and create in a way that is straightforward and actionable – even if not always easy 😊.
This module invites you to take charge. It is a journey toward a life shaped by your own values, goals, and strengths – a life you consciously lead.
