There Are Two Great Days

In A Person's Life -

      The Day We Are Born And ...

The Day We Discover Why


    Live A Meaningful 

And Fulfilling Life You Love




Do you sometimes sense that, when life becomes heavy, people seek you out for your presence?
Not because you have quick answers,
but because they trust your
listening, your steadiness, your heart.


The Meaning Counselor Training helps you nurture this gift — whether you’re new to supporting others or already working as a coach, mentor, or therapist.
 

What the Training Is About

This training is not about quick methods.
It’s about
deepening your own foundation so you can support others with presence, clarity, and strength.

It is the first step in a larger path — one that can unfold into the Wisdom Counselor Training and the Soul Counselor Training, and eventually lead to becoming a Certified Meaning, Wisdom & Spiritual Counselor.


But every journey begins here: with meaning.


Training Structure

The training unfolds step by step — three phases that build on each other:

Phase 1 — Prepare Yourself Inside-Out
This first phase is about becoming the kind of person who can truly support others.
You’ll deepen your own clarity, explore your personal sense of meaning, and strengthen your inner foundation.
When you are aligned from the inside, your presence itself becomes the most powerful tool you have to help others.


Phase 2 — Helping Others Discover Their Meaningful Purpose
Here you’ll learn how to create a safe and transformative space for others.
Through deep listening, gentle questioning, and presence, you will guide people to uncover their own sense of clarity, purpose, and strength.
This is not about giving advice — it’s about helping others discover what already lives within them.


Phase 3 — Mastering Marketing and Bringing Your Work to the World
For many, this is the most surprising phase.
If you hate “selling yourself,” you’ll be relieved to know this is not about slick strategies or becoming someone you’re not.
Instead, you’ll learn how to communicate what you do in a way that feels natural, authentic, and aligned with your values.
You’ll discover how to attract the people you are meant to serve — and present yourself with confidence and integrity.


Optional Deepening Modules
For those who feel called to explore even further, two advanced modules are available after completing the core training:


- Wisdom Counseling
Support others in navigating mature life transitions, inner growth, and emotional resilience.
It’s about being a steady presence in a fast-changing world.


- Soul Counseling
Bring spiritual presence, silence, and stillness into your work.
Hold space not just for answers — but for Being itself.


These modules are not required. They are offered only when it feels like a natural and meaningful next step.


Flexible and Transformative

This is a flexible individual training you can begin anytime. 
It is designed around your life, your pace, and your readiness.


Upon completion, you’ll receive a formal certificate and a personal video recommendation from me,  Dieter Langenecker  — something you can share as part of your professional credentials and marketing.



Everything Begins with One Conversation
Whether you're quietly curious, deeply ready, or somewhere in between — it all starts the same way:


The Meaningful Clarity Session
This is where it begins.


A private, focused space to explore what’s stirring in you —
and to sense whether this path is the right next step.


In our 60-minute Meaningful Clarity Session,
we’ll explore your direction, your questions,
and what a more fulfilling life might look like — for you.


Just one honest conversation to explore what feels true for you.



The First Step — A Meaningful Clarity Session

If you feel something stirring in you, the next step is simple:
book your Meaningful Clarity Session.


It’s a one-hour personal conversation with me,
focused on your questions, your direction, and whether this path is right for you.


The contribution is €75,
and the session takes place online via Zoom.

A Personal Note

I keep this training personal and small.
Because it’s not just about knowledge —
it’s about living a life you truly love.


If something in you resonates, follow that sense begin with one step.


With warmth,

What Others Have Experienced

I began my journey of personal development after many years of passionately dedicating myself to entrepreneurship. Throughout my professional path, I experienced moments of success and challenges that taught me valuable lessons about resilience, purpose, and growth. As I closed this chapter as an entrepreneur, I felt the need to explore my inner self more deeply and connect with my life’s true purpose.


This exploration took a transformative turn when I began my training with Dieter. His unique approach resonated deeply with me, offering me powerful tools and techniques to understand myself better and guide others in finding their own inner strength. Through Dieter’s guidance, I’ve not only grown as an individual but also as someone who can inspire and support others on their journey toward happiness and fulfillment. As an immigrant, I’ve experienced the challenges of starting over in a new place, finding belonging, and rediscovering myself.


These experiences, combined with the insights from my training with Dieter, have enriched my understanding of transformation and have given me unique tools to empower others.

My journey with Dieter began even before our first Meaning Counselor Training session. He demonstrated a profound sense of guidance, direction, support, and care in a beautiful online session on mindful relationships.


I was searching for someone inspirational—and Dieter truly embodies that quality—as we embarked on a wonderful journey into self-understanding, reflection, and self-mastery.



Many things in my life began to make sense, and I started feeling a deep sense of calm and inner knowing. That was when I decided to sign up for his Meaning Counselor Training, not only to support my own growth but to help others live a fulfilling life they truly love.

Asel Khamzayeva, Vienna


As a psychologist trained in a scientific way, I've always sought innovative methods to enrich my counselling practice. When I attended Dieter's presentation on meaning in life, it struck a deep chord within me. I knew instantly that the Meaning Counsellor Training offered the perfect pathway to infuse greater depth and purpose into my client sessions.


This transformative experience not only enriched me both personally and professionally but also empowered me to forge deeper connections on a profoundly meaningful level. 



Marcela Crhonkova, Prague

I began my self-development journey in my early forties. However, when I joined the Meaning Training with Dieter, his approach resonated with me because it reached deep into my core with kindness and care, allowing me to explore my inner self confidently.


This led to a greater understanding and acceptance of myself plus prompted taking actions that have impacted my life significantly.


I now live 5,000 kilometres from my home country and have incorporated meaning into my consulting practice with outstanding results for my clients.


Thanks to Dieter, I'm living a meaningful life I love.



Elizabeth Sardinha, Lisbon/Luanda

After participating in some talks at InterNations, I have joined the Meaning Councelor course in order to improve my mentoring/coaching practices. To my surprise I have been led into a deep discussion and understanding of inner strengths and weaknesses which resulted in an invaluable exercise for myself and my practice.


The unique way of our teacher Dieter Langenecker is remarkable and very easy to understand as well as thought provoking.


I would recommend strongly taking this training.
