Leading the Way
Dr. Burkhard Bensmann

Founder of Bensmann Consulting

For over three decades, I have been on an incredible journey dedicated to helping leaders and organizations unlock their full potential and achieve lasting success.
As the founder of Bensmann Consulting, and an honorary professor at Osnabrück University, I am thrilled to bring together my deep practical experience with academic insights to deliver tailored strategies for personal and professional growth.
My Mission
My mission is to empower leaders to not just survive, but thrive in an ever-changing world. I support them in recognizing their potential, developing it, and becoming truly effective. I do this by fostering self-leadership, resilience, and strategic thinking in all those I work with.
My Approach

My approach: I firmly believe that effective leadership begins with self-awareness. Once you understand your unique strengths, motivations and areas for growth, you’ll be able to make more informed decisions and navigate challenges with confidence. I love working in partnership with my clients, developing bespoke solutions that perfectly match their goals.
My Methodology
Over the past 15 years, I’ve developed and refined a practical methodology for self-leadership: The Seven Fields of Self-Leadership. This model represents the core perspectives essential for leading oneself effectively.
The Seven Fields of Self-Leadership | Bensmann Consulting
It was born from a combination of interviews with leaders, scientific research, and real-world application. Since its creation in 2009, I’ve used it extensively in my teachings, coaching sessions, and workshops. The methodology continues to evolve, ensuring it remains impactful and relevant for entrepreneurial individuals.
