TWo generations - one idea

A (HI)Story of masterminding
IT'S FREE!

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.

Frank Cieslik

We love Frank's way of looking at things - through his camera lens. He's got this special visual language. Check it out: He has shot and edited all the video material you see on our website. And what a tremendous job he has done!

Marc Seick

Founder Advertising Agency CAPE6

What would the MASTERMIND MOVEMENT be without Marc? When you watch the videos and see the pictures of our events - they were taken in his amazing penthouse office in the heart of Cologne. Being a supporter of the first hour and just a really, really nice guy, he let us have the room for free!

Oliver Güth

Master Photographer of the Movement

You might have noticed that many pictures here speak the same language. Its Oliver's language and we love it! Oliver has an amazing eye and brings out the best in you. He loves what he does and delivers every single time.

Christian has created our logo and our entire corporate identity. And we love it. Don't you? Throw him an idea, a vague direction and he'll come back with amazing concepts. By the way: If you're asking yourself why "Zweimeterdesign?" (two meters design), go and meet him - then you'll know why ;-)
