Anke Hermann
About This Week’s Guest Anke Hermann
Originally from Germany, she lived in Australia and the UK before.
In 2004 she decided to quit her IT job in London to move to Spain and start a sewing business – with nothing but a love for sewing and plenty of enthusiasm.
Eight years (and countless “demanding” Spanish clients) later she was burned out and started her own journey of self-discovery which ultimately lead her to become a coach.
She now helps other free spirits with a strong analytical mind and a big idea turn their passion into a business. She’s the host of the Passion Business Podcast.
“Having lived out of Germany for so many years has made me realize that I’m very German.”
Her tips on becoming more culturally competent are:
- Travel as much as you can and ideally independent, so not in a group.
- Learn languages; or at least a few words.
- Hang around other people on a personal level if you can.
