about us

shaping the future of work

Let us guide you on your journey to the work that fulfills you.

My name is Jörn Hendrik Ast and I founded New Work Heroes 2018. The big transformative purpose of my life is how to make good work possible for all of us. I am focused on new forms of teamwork, on a modern concept of leadership and, above all, on how we as humans can fully develop our competencies and self efficacy. Over the past ten years, this has led me to write two books and create learning journeys, I have accompanied hundreds of coachees, produced 80 podcast episodes and developed the New Work Heroes Careerhero Typology. The New Work Heroes are here to send you on your individual career journey so that something changes for you. Stoked to have you here, what are you going to start with?

What we offer

Powerful coachings in personal sessions, in retreats with a group, or as a self-learning experience with our books and online coaching programs.

Our process:

the four parts of the hero's journey

01 ABYSSOS
At the beginning stands the question of uncertainty and doubt. Are New Work Heroes ready for the challenges that await them on the transformation journey? What can doubts teach them?
02 METAMORPHOSE
In order to master changes in structure, working methods and leadership, adaptability is required. The motivation for this comes from the recognition of their own self-efficacy.
03 AGON
Inner dialogues often keep us from mastering the next steps. It's the internal fights and the struggling with decisions,
that want to be made visible. Transformational resilience emerges from this.
04 LYSIS
The conclusion is the „denouement", the untying of the last knots. Here we bring together methodological expertise and proven resilience. This is how our New Work Heroes become masters of two worlds.

Our Values:

What is important to us
