Sebastian "Heartcore" Hartwig

The positive lunatic

The personal pages of a website are one of the most exciting and valuable webpages (for me) because they tell a lot about the motivation and reflection capabilities of a website owner. Therefore, they are inevitable for personal service providers and just can't be big enough.

Learn how my journey as an entrepreneur and personality coach began and finally brings us together here.

Enjoy =)

My history

These are the biggest cornerstones which lead me from childhood to heartcore coach. Get to know the environment in which I grew up and learn what has always stimulated and driven me.

Childhood & Youth
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

I grew up in southeastern Berlin, Germany, in a rural environment very close to the inner city. The ultimate symbiosis. Including house and a big garden. Beautiful. And with occasional trips to its surrounding countryside (Brandenburg) where I immediately fell in love with the woods and water.

I was born into a gastronomic family in which high quality was very important.

The original family of my mother is the more intellectual and artistic one. I definitely have the active spirit, the passion for diversity and everything social as well as the sense for beauty from my mother!

My father comes from a more conservative family from which I have everything associated with persistency and the (emotional) depth. I also got hooked on the passion for fishing and the love for nature from him and my maternal grandfather.

Very early in my life did I realize that I feel very comfortable and am quite competent with humans & nature. I may have a love-hate relationship with humans today, but controversies and conflicts have attracted and accompanied me ever since, too. Consequently, I dove deeper and deeper into the depths of the human psyche. Always close to water and from a natural environmental perspective - as long as it sparkles.

I also got to know half of the (western) world (North America, Europe, Caribbean) through numerous holidays and student exchanges. I connected with the cultures of the Middle East in Berlin 😍 And I am very well aware how much of a gift this freedom is as I grew up in political East Germany.

Classic education
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

At the end of my schooldays I didn’t yet know what exactly I wanted to do in the future. But I knew for sure that I wanted more time for myself.

A social year with lightly disabled people on an organic farm is a good investment and provided me enriching experiences with amazing animals (cows <3, pigs, geese, ducks), people and many road trips (I LOVE driving cars).

Studying was a definite, too, but enrollment didn’t go as smoothly as I have hoped as I had no ideas to begin with, and a mediocre Numerus Clausus, too (Do I learn for grades? Nooo!). By introspection and a bit of luck, I was finally offered a place for my topic of heart at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin through clearing:

Geography.

Choosing geology and meteorology as side subjects in order to provide the widespread geography some specialization.

I changed meteorology for psychology after finishing my basic study (good old diploma) - and was quite annoyed at first as Sigmund Freud & friends couldn’t be farther away…

Instead, I got to know business psychology and other areas which I would’ve never chosen myself (I seek depth ever since).

I am so grateful for that as my experiences confirmed that I am an amazing organizational psychologist.

This is huge as everybody - including my family of origin - told and showed me that I have no clue or aren’t worth much. At the same time, I have always been an entrepreneur who advocates for higher aims.

Entrepreneurial passion ft. invaluable investments
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

In 3rd grade, I wanted to build a school pond which would benefit all pupils, teachers and our education itself. I approached the responsible teachers several times, only to get the usual flimsy excuses… So, I built up a team and did it myself. It took two whole days until they found out about it 😁

I also stood up for the well-being of others in my countless side jobs and was therefore often despised and even harassed (kindest regards to the “Wrangelkiez” or Wrangel hood, that is, of Berlin’s district Kreuzberg!). I kept fighting nevertheless.

I invested in myself and other gems money can’t buy for a very long time and consequently consciously sacrificed many amenities which are mundane for most people of more or less industrialized countries (including food).

Because you have to be able to get down if you want to be at the top.

At the same time, I built up my entrepreneurial-artistic visions which I partly already have since my childhood.

And after many experiences and growing pressures I made the leap into self-employment on 21/12/21 (December 21, 2021) and registered my coaching & consulting trade from the last 40€ I had left.

Thereby, I fulfilled myself a huge dream of my childhood and youth which now also brings us together 😊

Psycho Power vs. Psycho Porsche
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

In 5th grade I discovered my passion and skill for the human psyche. Humans always fascinated and excited me, but it was here that I first recognized (and acknowledged) that I was different.

I annoyingly observed how my class mates intentionally separated from each other (“the boys”, “the girls”) instead of working together for the good (and now, 2022-23, this imbecility unfolds in all other areas of society as well…).

I intensely studied humans (individuals and society), other animals (esp. fish, whales and cats) as well as our abiotic world during the following decades - always as an entrepreneur, investor and visionary. And always as an artist. With great depth. And HIGH values.

Many people dream of buying a Porsche at the age of 30. I wanted to have an extraordinary psyche I always dreamt of. I’ll get my dream cars now =)

And after I made it in the shade for my close ones and myself, we’ll now brighten up the future for and with you =)

What makes me special?

The best criterion to meaningfully compare providers of personal and individualized services is their personality.

It’s inevitable for personality coaches as their topics, services and goals are quite similar. Yes, there are differences in quality here, but it’s more important for your search of a personality coach if you are in synch with a personality coach because the success of your collaboration is essentially determined by how well both of your personalities match.

My #1 tip for your search of a personality coach: pay close attention to how you feel for and with a personality coach 😉

Evaluating the personality of business consultants becomes more and more important, too. Here, the focus is mostly on their methodology or general topic (e.g. financial, strategic or marketing consultant) but as people become more and more sensitive for personal factors, character traits of business consultants become equally important. In the end, a business consultants’ client or partner is a human being, too - and people make business with people.

So, what makes me special?

Nature & urban life
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

Spirituality can actually be attractive.

On one side, I do speak the language of nature. But other than personality coaches who are close to nature, I provide the (bio) geographical understanding for nature which enables me to translate its structures and processes to our psyche.

On the other hand, I do also rate the longings of our "modern" world highly.

Nearly nobody does this in conjunction.

Personality coaching & psychoanalysis
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

Most psychoanalysts work in science or as psychotherapists and are therefore less easy going as a personal coach.

Unfortunately, there are hardly any personality coaches who bring it psychoanalytically. Nearly all of them promise the world but are actually only poking around at the surface - nothing but curing symptoms! It would be ok if they approached problems cognitively, but they then should at least do it properly!

If you want to be TRULY clean and free you have to work on the CAUSES of your conflicts.

I combine psychoanalytical expertise with the amicable atmosphere of personal coaching - depth psychological work has never been so much fun.

Personality coaching & psychotherapy
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

Hardly any personality coach knows the (scientific) background, strengths and limits of psychotherapies. But personality coaches and life coaches in particular should know the differences and commonalities towards psychotherapies because both approaches complement each other beautifully.

In addition, it's a matter of (professional) respect and would also benefit our (German) health care system!

Coaching & Consulting
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

Only few people are able to appropriately advise humans and companies at the same time.

In order to help people, you need human expertise which not only contains the knowledge about psychic-physical structures and processes but also the skill to communicate that with and within the relationship aspect (coaching).

On the other hand, you need to speak the more technical language of companies in order to implement (human) expertise or advise them strategically (consulting).

Since I work well and gladly with discrepancies, balancing sensitivity and strength is second nature to me.

Scope: diverse specialization
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

Each of the aforementioned combinations is rare. All those combinations together? One-of-a-kind.

In conjunction with all my other skills and passions, this creates a broad spectrum of services and methods which may be too good to be true for some as they always say you need a specialist…

But things are a bit different at personality coaching where the #1 principle of geography is king - diversity 😉

And in business consulting, diversity is always superior when it’s about complex topics like process optimization, everything (inter) human and communication respectively (see Comsulting) or strategic direction.

Approach: a river runs FREE
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

The central theme of my diverse range (see above) also applies to my methodology, of course: I do not impose standardized, run-of-the-mill approaches on you (and me)!

Generic approaches are for people and businesses with low standards.

The road to success for and with me follows a natural, free FLOW, not a predefined, enforced plan (of which there are more than plenty out there).

I may have a strong scientific background, am keen to pigeonhole and also love straight-lined things like technical tools, but when working with and on psyche, I often draw conclusions based on intuition (just like a native).

Learning and exercising the interplay between mind, heart and gut is so much more fun and smarter as we always spend more time on the road when approaching a goal.

Even in business consulting is this approach so much more flexible and therefore effective because it leads to extremely individual results which are perfectly suited to specific circumstances and impact people a lot stronger.

$cope: value-based pricing
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

Our flow needs scope in order to flow and prosper freely.

I do not work on an hourly basis which is the horror for me and also restricts you! Instead, we work on value-based rewards for both sides.

Learn what that means at each of my services or in a personal conversation.

Value

One result of my work is omnipresent on this website:

Without exchanging even a single word with me personally, you get tons of valuable information through my service pages alone. That’s because I also intended this website to be a small reference guide 😉

This is not for folks who only casually consume my content on their hunt for fast and easy success. We’re here because we have ambitious goals. And high quality doesn’t develop overnight.

Enjoy reading refreshingly rich content for a change.

My special subjects

Along the way of our growing life, fundamental talents and strengths show up and develop which extent to all areas of life. These are my primary subjects which keep me going ever since.

Dreams
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

Dreams are goals.

And if they’re the right ones we approach them and are willing to face challenges which we can’t imagine even in our wildest dreams. Even when the way to reaching our dreams is the longer experience we’ll start easier if the goal at the end of the road is extremely enticing. Actually approaching dreams is a completely different story but mostly it’s about developing self-consciousness for dreams or dreams themselves at all.

People who create, have and amplify dreams live a more colourful, healthier and more fulfilled life because reaching dreams challenges and fulfills us in various ways. If you allow yourself to dream you have a higher chance to become a “better” or, in any case, more successful person.

Unfortunately, many people never learned or unlearned to dream because they unfolded under the pressure of family, “friends”, co-workers and other anti-members of society in order to avoid stress with them.

Often understandable but extremely unhealthy for psyche and body because this way you put yourself under pressure and enable idiots to transfer their own unprocessed crap onto others.

So, if you allow yourself dreams and hold on to them, you develop defense capabilities which also strengthen your body’s immune system 😉

Träume
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

Träume sind Ziele.

Und wenn es die Richtigen sind, gehen wir darauf zu und stellen uns Herausforderungen, die wir uns in den kühnsten Träumen nicht vorstellen können. Auch, wenn der Weg dorthin die längere Erfahrung ist, gehen wir leichter los, wenn das Ziel am Ende dieses Weges extrem verlockend ist. Auf Träume tatschlich zugehen, ist zwar nochmal ein ganz anderes Thema, aber meistens geht’s ja erstmal darum, überhaupt ein Selbstbewusstsein für oder Träume an sich zu entwickeln.

Wer Träume aufbaut, hat und ausmalt, lebt ein bunteres, gesünderes und erfüllteres Leben, weil uns das Erreichen von Träumen auf vielfältige Weise herausfordert und erfüllt. Wer sich zu träumen erlaubt, hat also größere Chancen, ein „besserer“, in jedem Fall aber erfolgreicherer Mensch zu werden.

Viele Menschen haben allerdings nie gelernt oder verlernt, zu träumen, weil sie sich dem Druck ihrer Familie, „Freunde“, Arbeitskollegen oder anderer Gegenglieder der Gesellschaft beugten, um keinen Stress mehr mit ihnen zu haben.

Oft verständlich, aber extrem ungesund für Psyche & Körper, weil man sich dadurch selbst unterdrückt und Vollidioten Recht und die Möglichkeit gibt, ihren eigenen, unverarbeiteten Mist auf andere zu übertragen. Wer also Träume zulässt und an diesen festhält, entwickelt Abwehrkräfte, die auch das körperliche Immunsystem fördern 😉

Fear & angst
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

Fear is THE motor of all living things on this planet and has a lot of advantages.

Fear awakens and keeps senses sharp and sensitive. It makes us perceive quicker and more intense and also helps that things, experiences and, ultimately, life itself gains value.

Unfortunately, many people have unlearned to sense and accept fear, too, because fear has become a taboo - just like in my original family.

The consequences for individuals, society and our planet can be devastating and are more than obvious: ever increasing imbalances which lead to extremely unhealthy dependencies; physical and psychic violence against others and oneself everywhere; diseases and wars which can shut down national economies worldwide. And. So. On.

Cognitively and especially emotionally understanding and dealing with fear is crucial in order to create close connections with our inner and outer biotic and abiotic world. Fear fosters awareness for oneself and others, therefore empathy, finding goals, orientation and, finally, a fulfilled and intense life.

Perfect partnerships starr. love
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

The most intense relationship a human being can currently have on this planet is with another individual of the same species where the combination of form, intensity and dose of similarities and differences compliments and spurs each other so well that you embrace conflicts in order to outgrow yourself and approach things you wouldn't even dreamt of or finally clean up issues you have long procrastinated or never processed.

This mainly refers to the relationship which has no word in English, too, and up until now can only be called “love partnership”, but also applies to other creatures, objects or activities. Starting with your family, over friends, pets and other animals, co-workers… you can even love your enemies since love has many faces.

Partnerships also go way beyond personal relationships, of course: you can have and develop entrepreneurial or cultural relationships which are capable of reaching much more than the own imagination is able to achieve.

Perfect partnerships are soooo much more than the sum of their components where 1 + 1 = ±∞ is possible.

Body & Soul
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

Psyche and body are inseparably intertwined with each other.

Knowing that the body follows our psyche, you can very well explain and predict physical phenomena.

And with the awareness that, in turn, the body is a reflection of our soul you are able to see people from a completely different, often more beautiful light.

This way, playing with somebody is just so much more fun.

Nature
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

I have felt at home in nature ever since.

Especially water and its inhabitants and residents magically attract me, but as a grown-up child I also love to clamber the low mountain range. Humans, other animals, mushrooms, plants and the abiotic world offer endless things to explore.

Because this planet and its inhabitants is so insanely colourful and beautiful - you never lived if you haven’t recognized and accepted that.

Humans and nature are inseparably intertwined with each other and we not only can have a lot of fun in and responsibility for nature but also learn a lot from it - for ourselves, for our private and also for our business relationships (economic and ecological success do not rule each other out).

Unfortunately, people have unlearned learning from nature, too, but we’re going to change that now, right?! And the best of it: you don’t need to move a single step! Just look into the sky or pay attention to how temperature or humidity affects your mood 😉

We can recognize and use the signs of nature everywhere and anytime. Just discover and free the native in yourself so that your life brightens up soon, too.

Arts
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

Art is THE gate and medium to explain and take in especially psychic conditions which are hard to grasp.

In his book “Anatomie der Angst - Ängste annehmen und an ihnen wachsen“ (Anatomy of fear - accepting fears and grow through them), Egon Fabian beautifully describes in his book (“Anatomie der Angst - Ängste annehmen und an ihnen wachsen” = “Anatomy of fear - accepting fears and growing through them”) that it’s mainly the ARTISTS who make even the deepest feelings more accessible.

Music and visual arts communicate complex correlations with structures and processes which are described easily and can be recognized, taken in, accepted, digested (become a part of us) or dealt with in other ways.

Physical activities like dancing or creative sports, too, can activate extremely strong feelings and bring together those who are equally touched (“have the same taste”).

What’s special about cooking - similar to car driving - is that it stimulates ALL senses and it’s no coincidence that Italians and East Asians not only live extremely healthy and long but are extraordinary nifty.

Despite all of that I often see that most people mainly consume art instead of creating it, therefore having a very low awareness which artform suits them best. That’s a pity because art is a beautiful therapeutic instrument to process our own emotions and thoughts while working on a work of art.

Even though nothing comes even close to the art of the biggest artist who has ever existed - mother nature - the art of humans reaches us even deeper and has the additional advantage that we can create it ourselves - other than basalt columns, cumulus clouds, wings of a butterfly or bioluminescence.

That’s why art is one of the very first topics in my personal coaching (and in conversations, generally) we’ll explore and I always try to connect people with it.

Holistic approaches ft. geography
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

I am THE specialist for the universal!

Cracking the big picture has always been my passion and became one of my biggest strengths. I love to puzzle and holistic approaches which combine humans and nature.

Holistic approaches are more complex and sophisticated, therefore make more fun and are more sustainable, too. Not only nature and the food production industry but also human cultures and companies show that a diversified(heterogeneous) setup is healthier and overcomes times of crises better than monocultures because they can react more flexibly to changing conditions.

Only very late in my study did I learn that a holistic view is the biggest strength of geographers. People often blame us that we are “a jack of all trades, but master of none”; at the same time it’s so much smarter to hire three good geographers for flood protection instead of a specialist each for hydrology, mathematics, physics, architecture, meteorology etc. because our diverse knowledge enables us to tell how all the various gears are intertwined and what happens if we somehow turn any gear.

This can also be applied to the human psyche or businesses where you, too, have many different areas which are intertwined with each other.

And the bigger and more complex something is the faster most people lose overview - while it’s super important to stay calm and find solutions in challenging situations. Fortunately, I especially get going when the going gets tough =)

Why "Heartcore" Coaching & Consulting?

Branding is one of my entrepreneurial passions and specialties. My ingenious creation here combines my last name at birth “Hartwig” with my general attitude and its resulting workflow.

HEARTcore Coaching & Consulting
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

Heartcore Coaching & Consulting takes place with a lot of feeling (heart).

That includes passion, sensitivity and strong connection with the relationship aspect. We all know since at least Germany’s most famous rapper Sido told us 2008:

„Du musst auf Dein Herz hör'n
Hör wie es schlägt, wie es fleht, wie es schreit
Hör wie es lebt, wie es lacht, wie es weint

[...]“

meaning:

„You got to listen to your heart
Listen how it beats, how it pleads, how it screams
Listen how it lives, how it laughs, how it cries

[…]”.

Unfortunately, many people have unlearned or never learned to recognize and accept their inside. We’ll change that now by leading the way great examples.

I work passionately and enjoy the ups and downs of a healthy heartbeat - THE symbol for life.

You won’t find something hard here, even though my last name and that of my business may look and sound harsh, but the way I work (pun not intended) is quite the opposite. Thanks to Hannover in Lower Saxony, Germany, I learned that “Hartwig’s are strong personalities” and today, I associate tenacity and other stabilizing traits with it.

I definitely don’t give up easily and only get going when the going gets tough.

HeartCORE Coaching & Consulting

Heartcore Coaching & Consulting means that I approach causes (core) of inner and outer conflicts.

You have so much more and better opportunities to explain and therefore shape things. After all, I’m still a (psycho) analyst, autist and scientist. I don’t do things by halves or only scratch the surface - treating symptoms is definitely not my thing.

HEARTCORE Coaching & Consulting
Arrow for more content - open & close paragraphs @ Heartcore Coaching & Consulting

Heartcore Coaching & Consulting is relatively intense and accordingly stimulating and exhilarant.

Working with me is demanding but that also reflects in its outcome (in the end, everything strives equilibrium): you’ll get the secret ingredient most personality coaches and especially business consultants lack and also benefit from everything but standardized approaches and their equivalent results.

We resolve and develop your personal. and entrepreneurial dreams and potential with refreshingly creative competence and a fine sense for people & nature. You’ll get to know and acknowledge your self and that of others newly or better and will also learn to use your psyche (and body) more effectively as a tool.

With a lot of sense, understanding and love for life - just hardcore from the heart =)
