PIONTEK
"Sonja is a results-driven catalyst that redefines what's possible for you"
​"Sonja Piontek is a powerhouse of inspiration that
truly sees people, their pains, their potential and
what’s holding them back.
​
She puts wind under people’s wings,
drives action and redefines what’s possible."
NO ROOM FOR MEDIOCRITY
You are not here for mediocrity. You are not here to settle for what’s “okay.” You are here to play on a completely new level. To be seen. And to finally break through what’s still holding you back.
​
Radical clarity, a razor-sharp strategy, and the right environment are non-negotiable. Without them, you won’t make it—you’ll waste time. And time is the most valuable asset you have.
​
I don’t work with everyone. But if you’re ready to think big and act even bigger—then now is your time.
​
Are you ready? Then let’s talk.
FULFILLED UNFULFILLED
From the outside, you have it all: money, career, status, a beautiful home, maybe even the picture-perfect family. A life that others only dream of.
​
But deep down there's that feeling... the overwhelm, the emptiness. That restless pull, that nagging voice telling you this can’t be it. That there’s more. That it’s finally time to put yourself first.
​
Do you feel it? Yes? Then you’re exactly where you need to be.​
RESULTS, NOT VISIONS!
You don’t have time for long-winded visions, hollow dreams, or flowery ideas.
​
You want clear goals, fast execution, tangible results, and real ROI. Perfect – so do I!
​
That’s why my High Impact Coachings, Keynote Speeches, and Expeditions focus on one thing: Results. Clear, concrete, implemented.
​
High performers – even if they don’t always see themselves as such – don’t talk about “speed of implementation.” They live it.
FLY WITH THE EAGLES
How will you ever fly with the eagles if you surround yourself with penguins?
​
How will you reach new heights if you refuse to leave your familiar environment and your comfort zone?
​
There comes a time in life when you must turn your intelligent self-deception into a clear, undeniable YES for yourself!
​
Because true self-responsibility means finally taking responsibility for yourself. No one else will do it for you!

PODCAST
The podcast is not a typical success, personal development or mindset talk. This podcast is about more than monetary successes, fancy buzzwords or a hallelujah for self-development. CREATE A LIVING LEGACY is about real impact, implementation and results.
​
This podcast is for you if your life is not 'too much', but rather 'not enough'. If mediocrity isn't really an option, if you've already achieved great things (even if you probably don't see it that way... which is the case with many high performers...), if you know the feeling of 'fulfilled unfulfilled' and long for exchange on eye level.
​
CREATE A LIVING LEGACY takes an unconventional look at life and its incredible possibilities. With exceptional guests from all over the world, deep insights and inspiring stories.
