The new emotional intelligence for men: developing inner strength with empathy, feeling and a new self-confidence

Why are men often successful on the outside, but empty and unfulfilled on the inside? Why are they quickly overwhelmed socially and emotionally? Rechsteiner’s book provides answers to these questions.

Because most problems in life have their origins in communication. It is often false expectations or misunderstandings that put a strain on our relationships or ourselves. This is precisely where the concept of the new emotional intelligence comes in. Problems on the outside are not solved on the outside, but are mirrors for the challenges on the inside. Only when you understand how you feel and what you feel can you respond to others and the challenges of everyday life with a new empathic self-confidence.

The new emotional intelligence is the key to building sustainable relationships with people and making contact at heart level. The first steps are very simple: Recognize your inner self. Allow your feelings. Get in touch at heart level.

What if the decisive factor in modern leadership is not on the outside – but on the inside?

Today, C-level decision-makers are under more pressure than ever: Performance. Change. Responsibility. Expectations.

But real leadership strength does not come from control – it comes from awareness.

The new emotional intelligence is the key to resilient, clear and authentic leadership.

And this is precisely where Frank Rechsteiner comes in.

He helps men in leadership positions to feel themselves again – in order to lead other people better from this inner clarity.

From functioning to feeling.

From leading to connecting.

As a speaker, personality developer and host of the podcast “Can you feel yourself?”, Frank Rechsteiner provides answers to a question that many men at the top rarely ask out loud:

“How am I actually doing myself – really?”

The truth:

Many managers burn out – and burn out.

Emotional distance protects, but it also blocks.

If you don’t feel, you lose your connection – to yourself, to your team, to your purpose.
Frank opens up spaces for honest reflection. For emotional clarity.

For powerful transformation.

Because top performance needs inner stability.

  • Self-leadership as the basis for strong leadership
  • Clarity in communication & decision-making processes
  • Presence instead of perfection
  • Trust instead of control
  • Connection instead of isolation

Frank Rechsteiner works with men who have achieved a lot – but sense that there is still more: Depth. Truthfulness. And a different way of being at the top.

The truth:

Many managers burn out – and burn out.

Emotional distance protects, but it also blocks.

If you don’t feel, you lose your connection – to yourself, to your team, to your purpose.
Frank opens up spaces for honest reflection. For emotional clarity.

For powerful transformation.

For men with responsibility.

For managers who want more than performance.

For leaders who know: Transformation starts with me.
