Katja Porsch – The Doer.
“We never fail because of circumstances, but we always fail because of what we make of them.”
At 30, Katja Porsch experienced bankruptcy for the first time, and again in her late thirties. She stopped receiving commissions as her clients faced financial difficulties, leading her into hardship. While some might call it bad luck, it was not. It was an unfortunate situation, but no one forced her to continue down that path. Katja had many other options available but failed to recognize them.
Years later, Katja Porsch has become one of the most prominent motivational speakers in the German-speaking region. She co-founded Carinthia’s first Startup Academy, authored six books, and is a highly sought-after media expert, among other achievements. This success did not come from ideal circumstances—two bankruptcies are hardly a favorable starting point—but from how she responded to those challenges.
The key lesson she has learned is: “I want to take the wheel.”
Do not allow others or circumstances to control your life. Take control yourself and have the courage to begin. Be bold enough to live your own life rather than the one others have planned for you.

From USP to UPP – Those who only sell will sell nothing!
Katja Porsch speaks from experience: over 50,000 cold calls, 25,000 rejected offers, closing rates of 1:2, and training more than 500 salespeople.
In this sales presentation, she highlights what truly matters today: the UPP – Unique Personal Proposition.

Her core beliefs include:
- Failure rarely results from lack of knowledge; it mostly happens because we don’t take action.
- Success is not about luck, talent, or favorable conditions; it comes from taking the right actions.
- Change is no longer a process to be managed with a single step; it is a continuous state of being.

Katja Porsch:
