The Author
René Esteban
René Esteban is the founder and managing director of the consulting firm FocusFirst®.
He helps executives and their teams in the global corporate environment to achieve their most challenging goals.
Corporates will typically bring René and his team into the company when faced with challenges that, due to their size and complexity, initially seem difficult to manage – still using the term “change projects” frequently. René and his team will then ensure that there are focus and inspiration. His work is based on expert methods from the field of success psychology, with which large goals can be achieved faster and in a more humane way.
The question of what makes people successful fascinated René already when he was still a teenager. After completing a commercial apprenticeship, he started to work for a Corporate, where he was already in charge of global e-commerce in more than 45 countries at the young age of 26.
He always kept an eye on the matter that’s close to his heart: “goals and success” – and increasingly used his expert knowledge on that topic in his international teams within the corporation.
In 2016, René founded FocusFirst GmbH. The company is named after that which is most important for accomplishing any goal: focus. He could count numerous DAX 30 corporations among his customers within just a few years. René lives with his wife, Melanie, and his two daughters, Emilia and Alicia, in the Frankfurt area.

Achieving goals with Dr. Christoph Huels (Internal Entrepreneur in Action, Merck): “Live the vision with every fiber of your being”
For Dr. Christoph Hüls, Internal Entrepreneur in Action at Merck Group, strong visions don’t just appear on PowerPoint slides, but unfold their power through shared emotions and joint passion within the team. Leaders can awaken this power by living the vision first and continuously with full commitment – this is an essential part of leadership.
Achieving goals with Ludwig Askemper (Managing Director, Mondelez Austria): “Enthusiasm takes the weight off responsibility”
For taking responsibility for goals, Ludwig Askemper, Managing Director of Mondelez Austria, recommends taking the paralyzing weight off the word. Instead of repeatedly stressing that goals “must” be achieved, teams also want to be motivated with a perspective for the future. Especially in difficult times, it is, therefore, worthwhile to already look at future success.
Achieving goals with Daniel Szabo (CEO Körber Digital & Founder YOU MAWO): “Screw it, let’s do it”
To realize Epic Stuff, Daniel Szabo, CEO of Körber Digital, first imagines how it would ideally work – in a greenfield environment, so to speak. Then, it’ s time to tackle the task together and get started. The focus is always on the matter at hand, the big goal that leaders want to empower their teams for. Hierarchy topics become secondary.
