We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Swanette Kuntze. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Swanette below.

Swanette, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Risk taking is something we’re really interested in and we’d love to hear the story of a risk you’ve taken.

The moment when I went from burnout to brilliance. I placed all my bets on one card. Left everything behind. I took the biggest risk.

I was brave and bold.

I love to share my story and this special moment in my life.

One chilly November morning, the clock struck 5, shrouding the world in darkness. The streets lay deserted as sleep held sway over all. Duty called as I readied myself for the early Monday flight to Munich. Despite the suitcase packed with project maps and tickets, signaling the start of another demanding week, my body rebelled, refusing to leave the comfort of my bed.

In that moment, the stark realization hit: burnout had taken hold. Change was imperative; failure to act would jeopardize my very existence. It was a choice between pulling the emergency cord or risking the forfeiture of life.

Externally, my life seemed glamorous – jetting from Paris to London to Vienna. Yet, my reality was an existence confined to planes, trains, hotels, and meeting rooms bathed in artificial light and conditioned air. A relentless work schedule of 80 hours per week drained my energy reserves. Exercise became a luxury, and time for friends and pets dwindled. Stress mounted, sleep eluded me, and my connection to my soul waned. I found myself trapped in the relentless pursuit of goals and wealth.

That morning marked the dawn of my reinvention. Reflecting on my journey since leaving Germany in 2018, I acknowledged the profound transformation. It seemed surreal that I once coached others on achieving work-life balance while neglecting my own well-being.

Granting myself a much-needed respite, I escaped to Madeira, a secluded paradise amidst the Atlantic. The transition from freezing Germany to the island’s warmth and abundance was nothing short of enchanting. It was love at first sight, and an insatiable desire to call it home took root.

However, obligations tethered me to my old life. With the passing of my faithful dog and my beloved mother, the path to Madeira cleared, however. I bid farewell to my consultancy, sold my house, my horses, everything… and stepped away from that old life and embraced a fresh start. Accompanied by my 3 feline companions, laptop, and essentials, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and reinvention.

A sabbatical ensued – a period of metamorphosis akin to the caterpillar’s transformation into a butterfly. Amidst the ebb and flow of the ocean, clarity emerged. Madeira beckoned as the ideal backdrop for my transition from jet-setter to liberated soul.

Born in Germany, I embarked on a quest six years ago that led me to the serene shores of Madeira, Portugal – a place where my true life awaited.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

From the depths of a near-death experience in my early years, I unearthed a truth: I’m not just a thinker; I’m an exponential force, finely attuned to the unconventional and the extraordinary. I am Swanette Kuntze, the mastermind behind the Metanoia Mastery System, an Intuitive Innovation Strategist, and a Maestro of Alchemy and Transformation.

My mission? To guide the rulebreakers and trailblazers of this world, those most visionary entrepreneurs, to disrupt the status quo and transcend the ordinary. Together, we forge paths from unconventional to unforgettable, crafting indelible legacies as innovation icons. We quantum leap into the pioneers of an emerging future, where humanity thrives.

At the heart of my endeavors lies the “Ignite Innovation Think Tank,” where I unite the brightest minds across galaxies to shape a legacy that defies time and space, propelling us towards a future of boundless potential.

In addition, I am an Amazon best-selling co-author of 5 books in the area of personal development and organizational transformation: “Creative Hearts Awakening,” “Re-measuring the healthcare industry,” “Promote, develop and manage health,” “Method and portraits of successful coaches,” and “Horse-based human resources management.”

I have been featured in media outlets such as Leaders Perception Magazine, Elendur Magazine, Authority Magazine, USAglobal TV & Radio, the Integral European Conference, The European Conference on Mental Health, and many others.

I founded and hosted the Podcasts “Holistic Creators” and “Innovation Rebels.”

From early childhood after a near-death experience, I discovered I was an exponential thinker with a finely tuned sixth sense and the intuitive ability to perceive phenomena outside the bounds of the ordinary. I hold the ancient wisdom of civilization’s past, which has shaped the evolution of humanity, alongside the celestial knowledge destined for mankind. My true enchantment lies in my ability to collaborate with all earthly and extraterrestrial elements, weaving magic that transcends boundaries.

Today, I stand as a chief innovation consultant to conscious leaders of pioneering companies, successfully navigating them through change and illuminating new vistas for their visions. 

My revolution is reinvention, and my purpose is profound: to reshape humanity’s trajectory alongside the world’s most disruptive visionaries, while simultaneously embracing the ever-evolving dance of the emerging future.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

In my approach, I eschew the conventional mass market paradigm, opting instead for a highly targeted strategy that homes in on visionary entrepreneurs and CEOs who possess a disruptive mindset. This hyper-targeting allows me to craft bespoke solutions tailored specifically to their needs and aspirations.

My process begins with a profound exploration of my potential clients’ profiles, personalities, industries, and business metrics. I immerse myself in their world, absorbing insights from podcasts, magazines, and other sources to gain a deep understanding of their challenges and opportunities.

To initiate meaningful engagement, I recently launched the “Innovation Rebels” podcast, where I invite these visionary leaders to share their insights, missions, and visions. Through candid conversations lasting an hour or more, I delve into not only their aspirations but also their current obstacles, fostering a genuine connection built on mutual understanding and respect. Simultaneously, I seize the opportunity to showcase the value I bring to the table.

Following these initial exchanges, I extend a personalized invitation for a follow-up call, during which we explore how my expertise, extensive network, or the resources of my Ignite Innovation Think Tank could serve as catalysts for overcoming their challenges. This dialogue serves as a gateway to deeper collaboration and lays the groundwork for a transformative partnership.

For those who choose to embark on this journey with me, they enter into what I like to call my “magical world” – a realm where innovation knows no bounds, and together, we chart a course towards unprecedented success and impact.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

I won’t claim that my life has been a walk in the park. There have been countless moments when I found myself on my knees, desperately trying to hold on and fighting tooth and nail to keep moving forward. Sleepless nights, tears that seemed never-ending, and moments of frustration that threatened to overwhelm me have all been part and parcel of my journey.

But you know what? I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. I wouldn’t wish for an easier road because I firmly believe that everything in life happens for a reason. Each trial, each tribulation, and each test of my strength has forged me into the person I am today – a warrior, resilient and unbreakable.

People often compliment me and admire my strength, but they’ll never truly grasp the price I’ve paid to become the person they see. And that’s perfectly okay; they don’t need to. Every morning, I look in the mirror, and I see a person who cannot be taken down, torn apart, or thwarted in their pursuit of the success of their mission.

I may not always have my life perfectly together. There are days when I’m not sure where I’m headed, but there’s one thing I’m always sure of: I know who I am. No matter what storms life hurls my way, I will always emerge stronger on the other side.

The truth is, so many things could have broken me, could have shattered my dreams, and could have buried me beneath the weight of it all. But for me, survival was never just another option; it was the only choice. So, I did whatever it took, however I could, to lift my head high and keep forging ahead. I wore a smile through it all, a symbol of my unwavering spirit.

However, resilience is not just a fleeting quality that one is born with – it can be cultivated and developed over time. By taking care of our physical, mental, and emotional well-being, we can strengthen our resilience and become better equipped to handle life’s challenges.

For me, this journey of cultivating resilience started long ago. By focusing on healthy habits like consuming organic food, engaging in physical activity, practicing mindfulness and meditation, connecting with positive individuals, and tapping into my inner wisdom, I was able to transform myself into a more resilient and magnificent version of myself.

Sometimes, you don’t realize your own strength until being strong is your only choice. In those moments when I found myself on my knees, surrounded by darkness, I dug deeper, fought harder, and refused to lose – not myself, not my dreams, and certainly not my way.

That’s not to say there aren’t still days when I struggle to get out of bed, when my smile feels like a distant memory, and when I question how I’ll conquer the day ahead. But I always find a way. I figure it out, and I never lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel.

Through it all, I’ve discovered that the fire in your heart, the passion in your spirit, and the magic in your soul are the ultimate sources of strength. I remind myself to find joy and seek happiness every day, and I’ve learned that these wonderful things are always there, patiently waiting for me to acknowledge them.

So, when the day comes to a close, I can proudly say that I’m content with who I’ve become and excited about the person I’m evolving into. Those claws of survival that once anchored me are now transforming into wings that will carry me higher than I’ve ever soared before.

Watch out, world – who I’ve become and I’m excited. And I’m about to fly higher than I ever have before.
