"Stefan Ester: 'If you truly want sustainable leadership success, you're in the right place!'

With over 25 years of experience as a leader and managing director of more than 400 employees, I know what I’m talking about. Success comes from consistent implementation – if you want to not only change your company but truly develop extraordinary leadership qualities, I am your first and best contact!

My methods work. My mentoring is unique.
See for yourself my outstanding quality.“

This is me: Stefan Ester

I stand for authentic leadership by example. My career path began in craftsmanship and led me through positions as a factory representative at one of the world’s largest agricultural machinery manufacturers, to managing director of 400 employees, to division manager of an agricultural trading group with 6,500 employees.

Under my responsibility and leadership, hundreds of salespeople were developed to achieve double-digit million-euro sales. As a leader and in my honorary function as guild master, I guided more than 300 apprentices to their profession and subsequent success over 10 years.

True to the motto ‚from practice, for practice,‘ I now convey lived success knowledge in mentoring, training, and presentations. I know how to provide effective impulses for successful leadership across hierarchies and to put myself in different positions. I encourage authentic leadership and establishing a positive error culture.

Mentor Practical relevance, experience, and clear objectives enable leaders to recognize and specifically promote potential. This leads to more efficient teams, increased productivity, and a positive working environment.
