It’s time for inner change!
We need a ‘new species’ of people to shape the 21st century with its great challenges. This requires people who are balanced in themselves and conscious of their Self. In other words: We need CORAFAs.
These are individuals who are Courageous, Open-minded, Resilient, Appreciative, Focused and Action-oriented.
How to become CORAFA? You connect with your inner team, clean up mental and emotional patterns, increase your inner clarity, and further develop your mental, systemic, emotional, somatic and intuitive intelligence. This process brings authenticity and enables to lead yourself and others into the emerging future.
We are a self-leadership community dedicated to authentic leadership ‘the CORAFA way’. To facilitate the self-leadership journey, we established a learning and development platform based on our unique methodology, the Formies approach.
The Joy Academy is the right platform
- for people who want to discover their true (CORAFA-)Self and live a joyful life
- for organizations that need leaders with CORAFA qualities
- for entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs who want to shape the 21st century
- for educational institutions that want to unleash the full potential of young people
Gain clarity with joy!

„I stopped pushing the brakes while going full throttle".
Carsten’s life at work has changed significantly thanks to the Formies: he no longer feels like a lone wolf who has to cope on his own. He and his co-managers who also practice CORAFA leadership now are more open to express their feelings and what’s going on inside them. Carsten appreciates his colleagues’ support and feels much more being part of a team. That takes the pressure off and gives him energy.

What do you gain?
A better understanding of yourself is essential to living a self-determined life. It’s easier to get to know yourself if you think of yourself as a team of four: Mr. Mind, Buddy Body, Her Highness Heart, and Conscious Me. Together they make up your ME – they are the four parts of you, they are your “Four Mes”, your Formies.
You learn how to become a high-performance team.

Program Portfolio
CORAFA-qualities are developed through a guided awareness-building process, called the Formies Approach. This process requires time and regular training. It can be supported and accelerated with self-study materials, one-on-one or group coaching, workshops and certificate programs.
The selection of the most adequate path depends on the experience level of the individual. All programs can be customized for corporate academies or specific organizational needs. Apart from Coach+Hike, all programs are delivered online or hybrid, either in German or English.
If you are not sure which program is most adequate or which level is the best entry point for you, you can opt for a free 20 minutes consulting session with one of our members to gain more clarity.
Voices of people on the CORAFA path
“Biculturalism is a special gift that wants to be seen, and explored. If you are particularly good at sports, singing or painting, then you should invest time and energy to develop these talents. If you don't acknowledge and train them, if you don’t join a sports club, a choir or paint pictures, you don't feel well without knowing why. We have to learn to cultivate biculturalism - this particular part of our identity. It’s an integral part of us.“
“The quality of a person´s life will always be in direct proportion to the quality of questions that person is willing to ask himself!”
Attributed to Socrates
“You have to ask those questions which can be difficult or painful from time to time but if you are able to answer with honesty you´ll find freedom in your doings!”
“Now I am over 80 years old, and I’m still learning. I love my life as it is, even though it has brought me a lot of tragedy. Without the experience of having lost my two children, I wouldn’t be who I am today. I am so eager of getting to know ALL that is inside me - and each day brings me more insights."
