Hanna Tempelhagen, Mindful Performance coach

You function. You deliver. You keep up the pace. Have done for years.
The real question is: at what cost?

Leadership starts with yourself.
Not with your team, not with your calendar, not with your strategy.
But with your focus, your energy, your emotional state.
Whoever skips themselves leads on reserve.
Performance that exhausts you isn’t sustainable.
Performance that lets you flourish is.

About me

“I bring to the leadership floor what elite athletes know about performance: it doesn’t grow during the strain. It grows in the recovery afterwards.”

I’m Hanna Tempelhagen – leadership coach, founder and competitive athlete. I work with people who perform at a high level every day and want to stay healthy and strong while doing it. What helps with that is individual. How we find out follows proven methods.

Peak performance in sport

I know what it takes to perform at the highest level.

Age-group marathon world champion. Six-time German champion in the marathon (2:45), cross country and half marathon. Finisher of the Abbott World Marathon Majors New York, Chicago, London and Berlin. I don’t talk about performance from the sidelines, I live it.

Scientific grounding

I know what actually works and what just sounds good.

M.A. in Positive Psychology & Coaching. Senior MBSR teacher — for over seven years, more than 50 courses and over 500 people guided. Professional Certified Coach (PCC, ICF) with over 500 coaching hours. Evidence-based, not esoteric.

Entrepreneurial experience

I know how change succeeds.

Raised in an entrepreneurial family, now a founder myself.

Business graduate (Dipl.-Kauffrau) with over ten years in digital transformation, consulting and leadership. I know the pressure I talk about from the inside.

My Approach — Mindful Performance

Lead well and stay effective.
Even when pressure, pace and uncertainty rise.

Performance doesn’t come from constant strain, but from the shift between tension and recovery. Those who can direct their attention, knows their strengths, notices when energy is missing and knows what brings it back, stay well and effective. For years. It starts with you. And it takes structures and a culture that don’t dismiss recovery as weakness. That’s why Mindful Performance works on three levels that support each other: Self-Leadership, Team, Organisation.

Self-Leadership

Attention, emotional regulation, the inner coach instead of the inner critic. And the physical foundation: sleep, movement, nutrition, recovery. The basics no one else takes care of for you.

Team

How you handle uncertainty and mistakes, whether you take breaks or push through, sets the standard for your team. People-centred leadership starts with what you model.

Organisation

Structures that put people and their needs at the centre. Organisations that give energy instead of draining it. That’s how a high-performance culture is built.

My Programmes

Performance that lasts. Focused, healthy and sustainable.

Testimonials

What clients say.

As a leader, I gained valuable new perspectives. I learned a lot about myself and my team — allowing us to work from our strengths and realign our team’s direction.

— Nina G., Head of Brand and Content Solutions

As a marathon runner, Hanna’s guidance showed me first-hand how mental training boosts performance. She helped me understand that it’s okay not to be okay sometimes — and to be honestly at peace with that.

— Nicole N. F., Regional Process Engineering Manager

Hanna’s calm presence creates a safe space that challenges and motivates at the same time. I experienced her in one-on-one coaching, a strengths-based leadership training and a workshop — each full of impulses for change.

— Sabine S., Systemic Coach & Transformation Expert

From the very first day, there was a space where trust was tangible — without pressure, without judgement. Hanna holds that space with so much presence and clarity that real growth becomes possible.

— Evelyn J., Business Coach for mothers in leadership and project roles

Carefully and mindfully prepared and followed up, a great mix of input, practice and exchange. I experienced Hanna as a highly professional mindfulness and strengths expert — her meditations are still part of my daily routine.

— Martin E., Coach for Leaders & Teams
