How to break boundaries with mental strength

And achieve successes that you thought were impossible.

Featured on the topics of mental strength, courageous implementation power & resilience in over 100 podcasts, magazines, TV shows, among others:

Hello, my name is Moni.

As a child, I wanted to be a secret agent à la James Bond - and studied international security with a focus on nuclear weapons.


But it quickly became clear that reality and film are two different worlds.


I worked at the IMF and the World Bank, then switched to professional sport - failed - and finally ended up in management consulting.


The turning point came at 30: I realized: Mental strength is the key to overcoming challenges and really achieving big goals - like my cycling records and the Hyrox World Championships.

Today, I support people in pushing their mental boundaries, taking courageous action and achieving goals that they once thought impossible.


What would you achieve if you reached your full potential?

Imagine being mentally so strong to confidently master any changes, make bold decisions, use setbacks to your advantage, and achieve great things. That’s exactly what you’ll experience in my keynotes.

President of the SWONET Foundation

The success of a conference is influenced by the speakers, who impart valuable knowledge and experience and ignite a palpable energy and enthusiasm for the topic. This is exactly what we could experience at Business & Network Day 2024 through Monika Sattler. Time and again, I meet participants who talk to me about her presentation and the valuable impulses, and they were able to take away impressive added value from the conference.

A life crisis gave her a crazy sporting idea. Then Monika Sattler realized that what she had learned on her bike was a strategy for success in life.
Many people have a midlife crisis when they are over 40. They were there earlier.
Yes, actually - I was in a life crisis when I was 30.

In the Neue Zürcher Zeitung

Monika Sattler lives fast.

So fast that she had a midlife crisis at the age of 30 - that's what she calls the low she was in. What she had achieved by then would have lasted until retirement for other people: the German, who now lives in Bern, studied security sciences at Georgetown University in the USA, specializing in nuclear weapons, on a sports scholarship for volleyball. She then worked for the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. She started racing bikes at the age of 24, and a year and a half later she was a professional cyclist for three months...zum Artikel here.
