Kai-Uwe Steck’s life journey resembles a path that has led him ever further out to sea. Every step was marked by challenges and inner struggles, but also by the determination to stay the course and not give up.
Driven by a vision stronger than any storm, this path represented a new beginning, perseverance, and trust, even when obstacles obscured the horizon. In the midst of Europe’s most significant financial scandal, he was the first to face the public and stand his ground.
He walked this path alone, without a safety net, and had to painstakingly build his “circle of trust” step by step – something he would have liked to have had from the beginning. His “circle of trust” was his safe haven, his shelter, and his compass all at once.
From this experience, his mission grew to offer others in existential crises precisely this network of support and expertise through guidance, courage, and accompaniment, so that they can continue on their path with renewed strength.
