Meet the TEAM

Elena Herdieckerhoff, Founder & CEO

TEDx Speaker with over 6 Million Views & Head Speaker Coach

At my core, I am driven by ideas. The profound impact of storytelling, an ancient art, fascinates me. Words, for me, are architects of conscious awareness, laying the foundation for progress, change, and innovation.

My TEDx Talk, "The Gentle Power of Highly Sensitive People," viewed over 6 million times, demonstrated the enduring impact of ideas. Daily, I receive messages from around the globe, sharing how the talk sparked change—be it in hearts, minds, behaviors, or a simple feeling of understanding and validation. Ideas, beyond connecting dots, connect us to ourselves and each other.

As a serial entrepreneur since my mid-twenties, I've dedicated myself to turning ideas into tangible forms. A pinnacle in my journey was formulating a balm for eczema based on personal need, extensive research, and passionate dedication. Witnessing its astonishing healing results prompted me to share it with the world through SELEXIR of Switzerland—a luxury skincare brand critically acclaimed in Vogue, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, and awarded the Harper’s Bazaar Hot 100 Award for Best SOS Skincare.

After the successful sale of my skincare brand in 2014, I transitioned my expertise into offering exclusive business coaching tailored to idea generation for fellow entrepreneurs. Guiding visionaries in discovering their next signature idea became a central focus. Additionally, in 2017, I established Red Dot Stage with a mission to empower experts, thought leaders, CEOs, and entrepreneurs to showcase their groundbreaking ideas on the world’s biggest stage. A compelling talk not only resonates with viewers, but also propels the speaker into leadership recognition, unlocking doors to prestigious invitations, book deals, magazine features, collaborations, and more.

For Red Dot Stage coaching clients, I draw on my business background and personal TEDx journey to guide others in succeeding with their life-changing talk.

On a personal note, hailing from Munich, Germany, I've embraced diverse cultures and languages throughout Europe. A lifelong student of life and an ardent fan of academia, I graduated from the Sorbonne Paris, University College London, and the London School of Economics. As a Reiki Master deeply committed to my spiritual path, I bring a holistic perspective to my endeavors.
