Founder & CEO | Head Coach
Elena Herdieckerhoff has built her life around the transformative power of ideas. Her TEDx talk, The Gentle Power of Highly Sensitive People, has surpassed six million views and continues to spark recognition, invitations, and impact.
Every day, she receives messages from people who say her talk made them feel seen. It’s proof of what happens when a message is crafted with clarity, heart, and strategy.
Elena didn’t begin with a platform. She began with a question: What if the right message, shared powerfully on the world’s most iconic stage, could change everything? That question shaped her legacy. Now, she helps others shape theirs.

A Life Built on Ideas
A serial entrepreneur since her mid-twenties, Elena has built multiple ventures from meaningful ideas. One of her ventures, SELEXIR of Switzerland, began as a personal quest to heal her chronic eczema and grew into a globally celebrated skincare brand. It was featured in Vogue, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar amongst others, and aired on QVC Teleshopping.
After exiting her skincare brand in 2014, Elena turned to mentoring entrepreneurs to build purpose-driven brands with clarity and impact. In addition to her business coaching, she founded Red Dot Stage in 2017 following the viral success of her TEDx talk, which has reached over 6 million people and continues to resonate worldwide.
With more than two decades of experience in entrepreneurship, messaging, and brand architecture, and formal education spanning The Sorbonne, University College London, and the London School of Economics, Elena brings a unique blend of strategic business insight and intuitive awareness to every engagement. She is trilingual in English, German, and French, and also integrates her spiritual training as a Reiki Master into a grounded, holistic coaching approach that honors each client’s energy, vision, and voice.
Meet with Elena for a complimentary private strategy consult to explore your idea and path to the stage.
“Hiring Elena as my TEDx coach was the best investment I’ve made in my business so far. She guided me through the entire journey, from finding my idea and applying to the right TEDx events, to writing and refining my talk, to helping me feel confident and comfortable on stage. She didn’t just help me prepare a talk—she helped me grow as a speaker and as a leader in my industry. ”
