#71 | Phoenix from the ashes

"I have fallen into a very, very deep valley of tears."

Sometimes life pulls us down into the depths. In 2020, the guest of this SMP LeaderTalk experienced his darkest year. From 100 to 0: job gone, relationships broken, the dream of having her own family shattered. Sonja Piontek is at rock bottom. And turns the tables at precisely this moment: with a groundbreaking decision. This SMP LeaderTalk deals with the question of how to find the strength to reinvent yourself even after serious setbacks.

"At some point, I made a very clear decision for myself."

Sonja Piontek, internationally successful speaker, author and entrepreneur, tells her moving story in this episode. From her stellar career at BMW to her personal and professional low point and her new beginning. She talks about the decision that changed everything, reveals what is behind the phoenix mindset and why you should choose the people you surround yourself with very carefully in difficult times. 

"If you do not clearly ask for help, you will usually not get it."

The conversation with Georgiy Michailov is also about the courage to ask for help and the question of what happiness actually is. You can look forward to an inspiring conversation that shows: Each of us can overcome even the most difficult crises if we have the courage to take the first step.
