Achim Nowak
I help successful CEOs and C-Suite executives in blue-chip global enterprises to show up with relaxed authority and amplify their personal influence. My 3 books pinpoint the nuances of authentic success behavior: Power Speaking: The Art of the Exceptional Public Speaker (also published in German and Chinese), Infectious: Unleash the Energetic Leader Within and The Moment: A Practical Guide to Creating a Mindful Life in a Distracted World. I have an eclectic past. It is one of my major assets. I was trained as a Mediator at the Brooklyn Courts, co-founded an acclaimed theatre company in Washington DC, and draw on decades of esoteric spiritual exploration. When I was 35 I left Manhattan to live on the island of Tobago for a year and become a windsurfer. I was a good one. I hold a M.A. in Organizational Psychology and International Relations from New York University where I also served on the faculty for over a decade. I host the My FOURTH ACT Podcast. My work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fast Company, Entrepreneur, USA Today, The Miami Herald, and on NPR and NBC.
