«Since taking part in the BEING Institute last year, a lot has changed for the better. I’m more mindful of myself and my relationship. In a short space of time, Moritz and Ria helped me see things I hadn’t been able to recognise before, and they guided me through this process with great care. I’ll definitely be taking part again!»

«I am taking part in the Being Institute’s annual programme. I am fascinated by how simple and beautiful my life has become. Through this work, I am learning more about myself and my blind spots. I also notice that I have more energy and motivation to tackle the things in my life. Many things that used to weigh on my mind now seem much clearer and easier to deal with. The programme is fundamentally changing the way I see myself and my life. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)»

«I had the opportunity to undertake a five-session coaching programme with Gian-Luca – and looking back, I can say: it came at exactly the right time. What impressed me right from the start was his ability to get straight to the point. No unnecessary chatter, no beating about the bush – just targeted questions that really make you think. Often I didn’t have an answer straight away, and that was precisely the strength of the process: it wasn’t about quick answers, but about genuine clarity. Over the course of the five sessions, I learnt something crucial: the courage to choose my own path – even when fear and doubt are present. Gian-Luca showed me that it’s not about making superficial decisions, but about really delving deep and consciously choosing a path. One of the biggest realisations for me was that it can actually be much simpler than I’d always thought. For a long time, I’d convinced myself that decisions had to be difficult – yet the path can also be easy if you’re honest with yourself. What happened between the sessions was almost as valuable as the sessions themselves: letting things sink in, having conversations with my girlfriend, reflecting – and above all, simply doing what feels right and suits me. Basically, the most important lesson for me was: life becomes clearer and easier when you simply are yourself. I am very grateful to Gian-Luca for this realisation.»
Aline spira
«I had the pleasure of taking part in five one-to-one coaching sessions with Gian-Luca. I came away from each session feeling energised and refreshed. Gian-Luca’s questions really got me thinking. He creates a completely non-judgemental space, which made it easy for me to share my thoughts and insights. I found it very helpful that Gian-Luca occasionally brought relevant examples from his own life into our conversations. This helped me to open up and be honest with myself. In every conversation, no matter how varied the topics, it became clear to me time and again that I always have the choice to change things or leave them as they are. With this awareness, burdensome or complaining thoughts lose their power.»

«After attending the Being Intensive last year, I decided to take part in the annual training programme to continue working on myself and to grow personally. It is impressive just how much knowledge, experience and genuine care this institute embodies, and how authentically this is passed on. Many areas of my life have already changed for the better, and I look forward to discovering and exploring even more. I find it particularly amazing that it doesn’t take years of therapy to achieve visible and lasting changes. I can wholeheartedly recommend both the Being Intensive and the annual training programme.»
Andreas Böhler
«I went into the coaching sessions without any great expectations and felt very much at ease right from the start. The conversations were open, honest and conducted on an equal footing. The questions asked were particularly helpful – they weren’t superficial, but were phrased in such a way that they really got me thinking. The coaching has helped me to see things more clearly and make more informed decisions.»

Daniel Navrátil
«I'm currently taking part in a year-long leadership program at Being Institute, and after the very first weekend, I'm honestly amazed by what happened. In just a few days, I was able to face and overcome fears that had been holding me back for a long time. Fears that had affected not only my personal life, but also my business. I'm leaving this first weekend with more courage, more clarity, and a strong sense that this program is going to have a lasting impact on my life. I'm deeply grateful and very excited for what's ahead.»
Sigrid Cox
«I'm currently enrolled in the year-long training at the Being Institute and, although the journey is still ongoing, I already feel a strong impact. I've also attended several intensives before, which is why I chose to deepen my journey here. What stands out is the focus on who I am being, both professionally and personally. It's not something I simply apply — it's about how I show up in my leadership, my work, and my life. The coaches are truly top-level. They don't let me get away with my bullshit, while at the same time genuinely standing for me. That combination of challenge and support makes this a very powerful and transformative experience. Ria & Moritz don't just talk about leadership, they let our group experience what this means. I'm developing stronger self-leadership by making conscious choices, taking more ownership, and practicing integrity. And also sharing and seeing where I don't. I notice the impact of this in both my professional and personal life. Even though the program is still ongoing, I would highly recommend the Being Institute to anyone looking for deep, real, and meaningful growth.»
Muhammed Cetinkaya
«Being a part of the programs which the being institute offers changed my life.. First i joined the program being intensive for 3 days and now I am in the year training.. I could have had never imagined how the transformational work they offer and do personally could have such a huge impact on my day to day life.. My relationships to myself and to everyone around me improved immediately, i was able to see myself, where I am stuck and where my blind spots are holding me back from enjoying my life fully.. I just wanna thank all of you for the work you offer and creating a space full of love in which everyone can BE..»
Embodied Attention
«Thank you for the incredibly transformative guidance! I am deeply grateful for the work the Being Institute does. The way Moritz and his team create spaces where real transformation becomes possible is extraordinary. Every seminar, every coaching session has helped me recognize blind spots and see new possibilities in my life and work.»
Panta Rhei Studio
«I have been participating in coaching with Moritz for several months and am thrilled by the depth and quality of the work. Moritz has an extraordinary ability to ask exactly the right questions and create a space where real change becomes possible. His work has helped me see more clearly, act more consciously, and lead more authentically.»
Flavia Hutter
«At every retreat at the BEING Institute, I am once again fascinated by the depth and transformative power of this work. Moritz and his team create a unique space where you feel safe to honestly encounter yourself. The combination of ontological coaching, group work, and personal reflection is extraordinarily effective.»
Paulina Maslich
«When you meet Moritz you quickly realize he puts passion and top professionalism in everything he does. I had the opportunity to have Moritz as my core energy peer coach and I can't highlight enough how impactful that coaching was for me. He has the incredible ability to listen intuitively, ask empowering questions, acknowledge and champion you throughout your journey to live your desired life. Highly recommending Moritz to anyone who wants to bring his/her potential to life.»
Safa S.
«I worked with Moritz in a time that i was struggling with a lot of fear, anxiety, and confusion. Every session he held space for my pain, my insecurities, and my self judgments. Every time he helped me shift my energy by finding a new perspective, tapping into my inner peaceful and creative place, loosening up the judgment and bringing up more fun, welcoming life as IS, inclusively. I highly recommend him if you are up for some inner work while moving forward towards your goals.»
Megan Warren
«Moritz is a naturally skilled coach. While he has all the tools that other coaches have, Moritz is able to help you tap into your intuition and passion by bringing three things to each session that make him a singular coach. Firstly, he creates a nonjudgmental space - one in which your pride and shame stand shoulder to shoulder to help you better understand and accept how you are showing up in the moment. Secondly, he is comfortable with uncertainty, and his ability to lead by example - to detach from outcomes and trust the process - creates space in the session for you to do the same. And thirdly, he is an explorer, inspiring you to new perspectives and insights. When I work with Moritz, I leave the session feeling energized because I am able to leverage new awareness to make clear choices in service of my values and to trust that I have the power to unlock unlimited possibilities for myself.»
Rani Bora
«I am currently going through Moritz's "Being Business" program. Moritz has been my coach for about 6 months now. If you are looking for a powerful coach who is grounded in Being and helps you achieve your goals, look no further. Moritz looks gentle and he is gentle but don't get fooled by this. He takes a stand for his clients to be the best version of themselves. He holds you accountable. He helps you get results. He serves powerfully. I am very grateful for his amazing guidance and for being my coach - a coach who sees my true potential, believes in me and is helping me get results.»
Christophe Vandeputte
«A couple of weeks ago, I attended the beautiful 'Being Business' Intensive, led by coaches Moritz Lembert and Ria Bauhofer in Vienna. What started as an intention to look at my business and expanding it, turned out into so much more. As things became more real and vulnerable, the little voice inside urged me to retreat and run from being challenged. Being truly 'seen' by these two master coaches, in front of an audience of 20 very powerful people in their very own right, was intense... One thing I'm very good at, is hiding behind a mask of 'Looking good and perfect'. I do that so people can't judge or reject me. But boy, did Moritz and Ria see right through that. And there was no hiding possible. I surrendered completely and experienced deep insights: What I have come to see about myself, is that I shied away from showing 'all of Me' for so long. Rooted from a story of 'not being good enough as I am', I couldn't fully be Me. What I have come to see about myself, is that I often found myself in the Observer stance of my life and business. Standing on the sideline of my own life, I didn't fully risk it. What I have come to see about myself, is that I didn't fully express who the fuck I was and what I needed, so I didn't step on any toes and potentially loose people in my life. I have come to see one deep Truth: Within the fear of being rejected by others, I rejected myself first. So I could have 'control' again, and not be hurt. Obviously, this impacts my relationships, business and more. What started as a Deep Dive into my business, 'cracked me open' as my coach calls it, to a new way of Being. And this makes all the difference.»
Ann Grutman
«On the first day of Moritz Lembert's Being Business Intensive we were asked why we had chosen to be there. For me there was no specific reason other than the logical continuation of the journey I had embarked on since my first encounter with my coach, Moritz Lembert in 2022. Why would you NOT be here, was the first thing that came to my mind?! For me the Being Business Intensive is all about claiming your truth. It's about choosing the courage to take a stand for who you are, be it in your business or anywhere else in life. Since everything is created through YOU and from who you decide to be. To manifest greatness in your business, you must manifest greatness everywhere, from a genuine intention. And to make greatness your reality it's not so much the great, but the little things that make all the difference. You can practice awesomeness in every single encounter you have: in how you talk to your neighbor when leaving the house in the morning, how you address the cashier in your local supermarket, the stranger on the street. It's all there for you to mirror your being, to practice being who you truly want to be. The Being Business Intensive really made me see my true value and completely empowered me to bring my most desired business and being into reality.»
Bart Vanderbruggen
«Moritz has been my coach now for over 4 years. I was then a bodywork practitioner working and scrambling for a mediocre hourly rate. Fear of money and not having enough was for 30 years my biggest concern. Moritz made me see what possibility's ly in myself to develop any kind of business and life. What impressed me the most and inspired me was his way of being in the coaching sessions and in his life. I learned a lot from his way of listening and the translation of natural concepts applied on my being in business. He lives what he coaches and that is inspiring. Start being who you want to be, start acting on that now, fear and fearful thinking is just thoughts creating your life. Any doubtful entrepreneur or business leader that has a withhold in business or life I would recommend to Moritz. This coaching applies easily to all walks of life and business. I got Tenfold out of it then the investment and still running.»
Ton Keunen
«This guy!! The warmth, joy for life and authentic smile and confrontations are amazing. This man is real and a wonderful, smart and witty coach. Funny and smart. A perfect combination for a life coach and trainer because that what he is for me. Thank you Moritz. Enjoyed every minute.»
Felipe Bernardo Theodoro
«At the time of writing, I am on a year-long apprenticeship coaching with Moritz and I must say: there are very few people in my life that have a level of commitment to continuous growth this man has. Moritz is not the same person I knew 11 months ago. Hell, he's not even the same from 1 month ago! I attribute that to what seems like a constant process of getting back to the whiteboard and re-creating himself anew every day. That has an impact on people. It for sure had an impact on me. Besides achieving in 4 months, with his help, most goals I planned to achieve in 1 year, one of my biggest takeaways from our work together was catching on to his ways of being: in integrity with what he says and what he does; highly creative whilst grounded in pragmatism; a true heart-centered leader; an immensely caring and humble husband, friend and mentor; resoundingly truthful to himself and others; a consistent action taker.»
Alina Jacobs
«In May 2024 I joined the Being Business Intensive with Moritz & Ria in Amsterdam and experienced a profound transformation. The three aspects which were for me the most important were: clarity about where I wanna direct my business towards, experiencing that I have the power to create the life and work I wish to, and unfolding a blind spot where I was unconsciously comparing myself with a former teacher of mine which got me stuck in my own teachings. After the intensive I finally started to build the work I really stand behind and am passionate about. I receive more clients. I experience a flow and joy in my teachings. I dare to do many more things by trusting in my own capacity. Moritz is building up everything very thoughtfully and profoundly, he cares about each individually and his way of being is full of integrity. I can highly recommend joining the community.»
Kristin Hannon
«Over the last two years, I have invested in my personal and professional development by working with Moritz Lembert as my coach. Not because I was stuck, but because I believe that coaching, even when everything is going well, can help you become happier, more efficient, and see yourself and your work with greater clarity. What particularly struck me about working with Moritz is his unique approach to 'surrender' and self-expression in an authentic way. He taught me how to look at my work and life differently and how to manage my thoughts intelligently and with kindness. With his guidance, I learned to work in flow, which had a remarkable impact on my results. A great example of this is how I exceeded my sales target last year. Instead of endlessly searching for new clients or putting in extra hours, I focused on strengthening relationships with my existing contacts and being open to new encounters. As a result, I achieved my targets without the stress of having to make cold phone calls. I am incredibly grateful to Moritz for his insights, endless patience, and the way he always asks weird but to-the-point questions. Thanks to our conversations, I have not only improved my professional performance but also developed a deeper connection with myself and my loved ones.»
Matts Hoogewoonink
«Don't doubt. Go. Create. Throw yourself out there. And let Moritz and Ria contribute to your ability to create a world where you stand out, create new possibilities, and get your hat out of your own ass. Experience what it brings when there is a 3 day full commitment to your greatest way of Being. The Being Business Intensive was for me an experience I would recommend to everyone. No matter what stage of life or business you are in. It set a new stage for my most challenging relationships, my work as a trainer, and a way of living with a calmness I never had experienced until now.»
Kevin Conklin
«Moritz helps you get clarity around the big questions and roadblocks between you and your goal. He is awesome at holding space for me and helping me drill down to come up with the insights that motivate me going forward. He sticks to his belief that only I can arrive at that clarity and only by staying on track, drilling down in my thoughts until I see the answer.»
Sigrid Cox
«What became possible is that I saw which idea I had to follow and which parts of my life I had to organize in a different way. So there was space to create new things. What would you say to someone who is thinking about participating? Stop thinking, because if you think too much about it, you are going to kill the vibe that's in it. And if you just join, you will see that the thinking that you did in advance isn't anything like what is coming to you.»
Ine Schellis
«What became possible for me in the Being Business Intensive is that I could see myself totally different from who I was when starting off on day one. It was really like stepping into a new reality of myself and really creating myself - it shifted in one night. I could feel it in the morning that there happened a lot in me and it made me stand in my new reality. I would really encourage people to join the Being Business program. People who want to have a look at their business, who want to make space for their business, be honest with themselves, and to be honest with their business. There were a lot of insights coming from different angles - a lot of members you can have conversations with, and so there is always a perspective you resonate with more than others.»
Didier Maj
«The insight that everything is possible when I'm open to the moment, that I can create who I want to create, and so that contributes to every layer in my life and to everyone that I can connect with. Just do it, it will change your life.»
Kathy Dobbels
«My intention starting this program was going deep and really focus on how I am being in my business that doesn't work. And especially because I am also in a relationship in the business, which makes the whole dynamic even more complex. I think that it's the same as why coaches can have a big impact on their clients - you realize that asking myself better questions gets me out of my habitual way of thinking. And I can only ask myself the questions that I can come up with. And here there are 10 people that give me better questions, but they also give me some information that I can come up with better questions for myself. And then insights will eventually or immediately come because of that instead of finding a solution to the problem.»
Christina Spinazola
«My intention starting the Being Business program was really to have a stronger foundation for building a coaching practice and becoming a stronger coach. I see it impacting every area, not just of my business, but of my life too. If I had to put it into words, I would say it would impact my business the most in how much impact I'm able to generate for my clients and prospective clients. I feel like my understanding of service and impact went up like sixfold while I've been here.»
Luka Hribar
«Moritz did an amazing job in having a very professional way of being also as a coach and how he's perceiving coaching. This is the reason why it will not just impact how I'm selling or becoming clients, but how I will do coaching also. The most important thing was that I started to see selling differently. I started to see it as a service, really as giving something and not taking - not seeing the person in front of me as a possibility to get money, but really as the possibility to impact him or her so that they will give me my money. It's not a money game, it's an impact game. And this is a very, very profound difference.»
Karin Artner
«For me, it already started when I claimed my space here. Magic began to happen because I realized that I am doing business in my life. So a whole new world opened up to me. I found out that I can do anything because I allow it. And that's really powerful and moving and new. Do it. Feel into it. If you feel like doing it, do it. It's just like that.»
Sveta Odaryuk
«I thought I would come in and get a full strategy on how to build my business. And I think the little mini aha moments and realizations and breakthroughs that happened for me were really more to do with my self-belief and my self-confidence and how much of that was holding me back and making me undermine and doubt myself. Coming away from this weekend, you're just pushing and breaking through all these stories that you tell yourself that are not true. And so that has significantly changed my mindset and how I approach my business life. Come here and definitely do it because it's not like any other business event that you've ever done and it goes at such a deep level.»
Georg Blume
«What became possible for me was to experience myself very differently to what I expected was within me. And I'm very, very much looking forward to enable these possibilities, like being a person that I hardly knew that I was. I would say to a person who thinks about participating: just do it. I think it's worth it. Just take the plunge. There are other people who get pretty open and seem to have a lot of routine in doing that. And time by time, day by day, you realize that everybody is bringing in their deep conflicts and vulnerabilities. And that's the beauty of it. And then all of a sudden, you experience yourself by peeling off layer by layer and making yourself more transparent.»
Kai Liem
«Participating in the Being Business program really made me realize that sometimes you don't really get to the essence of why you don't do certain things. Maybe because you don't really believe in them or you don't really want to be there, you don't really stand for them. I think it really cuts the crap if you want to play the game. Then you can actually have the possibility to go for that. If somebody would like to participate in the Being Business program, I think you could open up a world of possibilities because it's about taking away what's holding you down and it's just that simple.»
Jean Marie Ludlow
«Everything became possible. First of all, I get to be the cause in the matter of my own life. I get in the driver's seat of the bus, and I go down that freeway, and I get to say that was possible after three days. If you're thinking about participating, you're just doing more thinking. You might want to just put yourself in the course, and you come here and you generate your life because wherever you're thinking, you're just doing more thinking, which is not an action. So take action, get in the course, and you'll see that everything is possible by being in the course.»
Esther Verwoord
«What became possible for me was really having a completely clear sight on where I am, how I hold myself back, which I didn't think I did. And what do I have to do to be fully committed and present to what I actually want in my business and in life? I think people think this is about being a business owner. But I think this is for everybody, especially when you're in a business working as an employee, and really want to excel in what you do. The same applies whatever you do.»
Marie Blume
«What became possible is trusting myself way more than before. Trusting my impulses, my ideas, and the value of actions. Just acting like a child that feels the excitement of doing something they love and going for it - truly going for it. I would say to embrace the unknown and just go for it because it's worth it. It's also worth the uncomfortable feelings you might be confronted with, and the breakthroughs. Just throw yourself in it.»
