We all have a story. Stories that touch us the most are about that moment when we make the choice to be real, to drop any pretense of pride, power and position. In that telling moment we step into a new space where our ability to overcome fear allows us to be truly authentic in our relationship to the world. In that moment we become fully human. Gunter has authored a novel Mountains of Sea published by Winterwolf Press and he self-published the non-fiction, Making Good Men Great: Surfing the New Wave of Masculinity. Both books are available at all major and independent retailers globally. The Making Good Men Great Movement also made Oprah’s #MustWatch list in 2018.

In today’s world, the challenge to be ‘perfect’ is a constant source of stress. Gunter firmly believes that each person has to find their ‘own bliss’. His part in that journey is to engage with the person he is working with to unlock their aspirations, align them to their vision and to help keep them inspired.

We all have a story. Stories that touch us the most are about that moment when we make the choice to be real, to drop any pretense of pride, power and position. In that telling moment we step into a new space where our ability to overcome fear allows us to be truly authentic in our relationship to the world. In that moment we become fully human. Gunter has authored a novel Mountains of Sea published by Winterwolf Press and he self-published the non-fiction, Making Good Men Great: Surfing the New Wave of Masculinity. Both books are available at all major and independent retailers globally. The Making Good Men Great Movement also made Oprah’s #MustWatch list in 2018.

Mentor
In both the personal and professional sphere, Gunter has successfully worn many hats. Added to his education, experience and eloquence it allows him to develop a relationship with someone that ignites their aspirations.

Coach
In today’s world, the challenge to be ‘perfect’ is a constant source of stress. Gunter firmly believes that each person has to find their ‘own bliss’. His part in that journey is to engage with the person he is working with to unlock their aspirations, align them to their vision and to help keep them inspired.

Facilitator
Gunter is exceptional in facilitating outcomes in learning, productivity, and communication by providing a safe environment with unobtrusive assistance and guidance wherein participants experience the flow between content and context.

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter is carrying on the conversation about masculinity redefined and the strength of empathy and connection.  Our vision is about being inclusive, emotionally intelligent and being deeply conncected to others, he will challenge those traditional myths that don't serve us anymore and  about how patriarchial conditioning shaping how we think about manhood. He will show us how to look at masculinity from a different perspective.  Gunter will tie it all back to the core principals of the Making Good Men Great movement and framework. Its about helping men to just getting by but truly being fulfilled. We start the episode with a quote:

"What prepares men for totalitarian domination in the non-totalitarian world is the fact that loneliness, once a borderline experience usually suffered in certain marginal social conditions like old age, has become an everyday experience …" – From The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) by Hannah Arendt

Ms. Arendt wrote that in 1951, it seems as if she had a looking glass into the future as we can how things are today.
