I'm Krisztián József Lipcsei.

I started my career in management consulting: I worked at McKinsey for 4 years, then became the second Hungarian to graduate from the MBA program at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. My last corporate job was on Google's central consulting team. I was laid off from there in 2023, and with that, for the first time as an adult, I really set out on my own path.

The first step was rebuilding my mental and physical health. It is a process of several years in which "first it hurts a lot, and only then does it get good". Since at that point I couldn't have worked in a large corporate environment even if I had wanted to, I decided to take the step I had dreaded, becoming an entrepreneur, while I recovered.

While recovering, I had to manage my own very limited resources (such as my attention, my savings, my courage and my energy) so that they would at once keep my recovery going, cover my work and other obligations, and lay the cornerstones of some longer-term way of operating.

It soon became clear to me that my best asset was not my CV but me. The experience I had gained matters a great deal, but if I cannot reach my abilities, past merits cannot be turned into present-day money in a sustainable way.

The goal was to get my abilities back as soon as possible and reach the level where I could work as an entrepreneur and healer, independent of place and of companies.

Under this pressure, and with such a clear goal in front of me, I found a way to optimize my own development, just as I had done with other companies' affairs in my earlier work.

Part of this was formally learning the methods I found most effective and easiest to combine in my own work. That way I could apply them to myself and make good use of them when others worked with me, and I also knew these were the methods I wanted to use in my own work.

I have been running this coaching practice since 2023. I first worked with the Somatic Internal Family Systems method, and since 2025 I have also been working with Family Constellations and other constellations.

Most of my clients are former overachievers on the path of self-development, and other (future) leaders and entrepreneurs with a special relationship to work.
