"THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE TO DO IS to strive for greater collective ENLIGHTENMENT"

TWo generations - one idea

A SHARED PASSION

After a chance meeting in a pub in Cologne in 2018, Chris & Martin realized they shared a passion for supporting professionals. Soon they discovered that they had the same idea about how to do it: Not just as coaches or consultants, but by bringing like-minded people together to learn from one another. So, many meetings and a few Kölsch later, they decided to establish the MASTERMIND MOVEMENT as a company. Even though 30 years in age separate them, they share many beliefs. One is that you can learn something from every individual you meet:  Everyone is a potential teacher! Chris & Martin combine innovation and experience in their mission to support you in your present and future challenges.

Christian Hitzbleck

The Founder

"I love bringing people together."

Chris co-founded the music start-up "Jam Connect" in 2016. It offered artists from the urban music scene as well as from the world of classical music the opportunity to collaborate and perform, culminating in a total of 23 concerts over an 18-month period. They created a community, where music managers could discover and meet potential new talent. Within a year this community grew to over 450 musicians, dancers and music industry professionals. This inspired him to expand on the idea: He wanted to create a movement for entrepreneurs and leaders who want to make a difference in the world. A format where ideas can be discussed and developed through active listening and mutual support. In March of 2018 he created the MASTERMIND MOVEMENT organizing twelve exclusive networking events, the "Mastermind Lounges" in his first year. Since then the number of participants has grown steadily. To date, the MASTERMIND MOVEMENT has welcomed over 250 entrepreneurs and executives to their events.
