Sebastian's Bio and Contact Information

Sebastian, the Chief MindSetter, is an executive coach for high-achieving founders and leaders who’ve built outward success—but feel trapped behind the mask of it. He helps them stop performing, slow down without losing it all, and finally reconnect to who they are beneath the pressure. His work blends emotional clarity, nervous system safety, and identity transformation to help clients reclaim their energy, focus on what truly matters, and lead from deep alignment—not adrenaline. If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do, so why am I not doing it?”—he’s the coach who helps you finally do the things that matter in your life.

Outside of coaching, Sebastian meditates, builds strength and vitality through exercise, and enjoys time with his three kids—because business success should never come at the cost of life’s most important moments.
