“As a professional advisor of IDEENSTARK 2021 and 2022, Frank Zumbruch understands exactly how to support creative entrepreneurs on a personal level as well as on an entrepreneurial / creative economic level: methodically sound, but never too theoretical, critical and honest, but never hurtful, motivating and empowering but not dazzling or unreal – questioning but not probing. As a coach, he ensures that the IDEENSTARK award winners can grow out of themselves and surpass themselves. That they find their message or their contribution in this world for themselves and make it sustainable. He really cares about that. Working with him is always: straight forward, passionate about the matter, reliable, open and fair.”
