Andreas Fehrens
How I started?
After graduating from high school and commercial training in Hamburg, I started my working life straight away. My focus was on sales and marketing and since then made my professional career in various companies. In my last job as an export manager in a multinational Japanese electronics company, I was lucky enough to experience the upheaval in Eastern European countries firsthand. After which I decided to move into the Czech Republic.
In mid-life, I became self-employed. I achieved a radical change, quitting a well-paying job without any distress. Letting my dream of independence come true. Radical insofar as moving to the Czech Republic. To a country where I didn’t know the language and the people. I had suddenly found myself in a society which had to find itself after years of oppression by communism. After great difficulties initially, I managed to build a successful company with more than 60 employees in the field of AV media technology.
a bit of myself
About me
As a matter of fact, I am now well past my mid-life. In the mid-age period of my 40s I was very lucky to become the father of a girl and then three years later, a boy. Both of them still allow me to participate actively and supportively in their lives today. Working with young people has long been an enjoyment of mine. I am still learning a lot from others, and I am happy when others accept the experience I share with pleasure.
My midlife challenges
Sometimes life has crises in store for you and then it is helpful to find people who are willing to mentally support and listen to you in such moments. But you can learn a lot about yourself in such a situation and find the strength you need to get through such phases. For me, it was the start of another career as a mediator, coach and communication trainer.
My real passion
My good and also the bad life experiences, are the basis for my current work as a certified mediator and trainer and I lead a content, balanced and yet exciting life. I have been working in my new role as a coach for several years now, but I am also still active with my own small sales company. The willingness to take the step towards change in my midlife, without any ifs and buts, was the right thing to do. The task of supporting and helping people to achieve their goals as a mentor and coach gives me pleasure and is always motivating.
