With us

With us you will succeed

Imagine you could make every change happen and make your ideas reality – now, more than ever, this is more difficult. This is because, as human beings, we are highly complex and we increasingly find ourselves living between multiple fields of conflict. For example, we live in an environment that is shaped by drastic upheaval and rapid change.

At the same time, we’re experiencing an increasing societal rift that strikes at the heart – the family. And yet as people, we have a basic need for stability, security and well-being. Add to that our longing to be acknowledged and respected as individuals with all our respective characteristics. And yet we also have the desire to be esteemed as full-fledged members of a community.

How do we solve this dilemma?

For the past 25 years, Life Institut – founded by Hermann Ladner – has been helping people, teams, organizations and communities overcome these complex challenges.

We alone – as is so often the case – hold the key to the solution. In this context, quite early on, Hermann recognized the particular power of individual viewpoints and how to harness their diversity in a manner that is beneficial for all those involved.  This is made possible through exploratory dialog, where nobody loses. This creates space so that individual ideas can become common reality through self-conviction. 

The secret to success lies in the consistent implementation of the latest findings in the field of cognitive behavioral research and neuroscience. Based on this, Life Institut has since developed a game-changing AI solution that supports dedicated certified experts and their customers in their projects.

Our agile work methodology meaningfully links artificial and human intelligence. In addition to our years of experience, reputable references from 15,000 individuals, more than 4,000 teams and over 350 organizations are our guarantee that your ideas will become reality.

Use our know-how and you can be confident that your ideas will quickly become reality.

… together, not alone!

We are all social beings at our core. This is what has made our evolution so successful. Our ability to solve complex challenges together is what clearly differentiates us from other species.

This can be deduced from our personal development. This is driven by hormones such as serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine, which reinforce the development of our habits or patterns.

Evolutionary biases

As early as our infant years, we begin to show interest in and cooperate with other people. Starting at around the age of 5, we measure ourselves against others by competing in rules-based and competitive games. When we’re in our teens, we assert our independence in an effort to be more grown up, and we turn more and more towards our peers. Once we reach adulthood, we once again learn to appreciate the values of a community and what it means to be a full-fledged member of society.

Fact: Our environment and our experiences leave their mark on our future. When we change our viewpoints of both, we can shape the future and achieve our goals. The most definitive way to do this is by taking into consideration the latest knowledge in the field of cognitive behavioral research and neuroscience. 

What one person cannot do alone can be done as a group

The history of humanity proves that: We have the ability to constructively master our challenges and, in particular, leverage the connected emotions in a positive way to fuel our success.

Population growth, global trade and digitalization necessarily lead to a multi-polar, networked and globalized world in which isolation is not a sustainable solution. Nor can the climate crisis be overcome single-handedly.

We are convinced that, through collective intelligence, we can respectfully learn from each other in exploratory dialog. Curiosity drives us to appreciatively harness the diversity of individual viewpoints.
To do so, we act in an open, honest and trusting environment. We inspire people
to make their ideas reality through viewpoints, in order to shape a better future, together.

It is only the diversity of the community that leads us to the destination. Through exploratory dialogs, we dissolve limiting viewpoints and belief systems. At the same time, it harbors the key to positive change and to making our ideas reality.

Pillars of exploratory dialogs

Our thinking and actions are based on the following pillars of exploratory dialogs:

Clarity

We listen to other with interest and without bias, and communicate transparently.

Understanding

We identify limiting assumptions, belief systems and habits and understand how we can change these in a positive manner.

Passion

We get excited and get others excited about a collective vision that is more than the sum of its parts.

Commitment

Through self-conviction, we agree on and make common rules for a better future.

Responsibility

We release energy and contribute towards positive change in which nobody loses.

Discover the benefits of exploratory dialogs for yourself and reach out to us.
