Mahatma Gandhi
You must be the change
you wish to see in the world
Change is incredibly difficult at the beginning, chaotic in the middle and beautiful at the end!
My name is Claudia Koch.
I Do OCEAN.
Leaving your comfort zone and becoming active, fighting for something and believing in yourself and your success is what ultimately determines the outcome of a project.
Today, OUR project, the Livingseas Coral Restoration Site, is the second largest restored coral reef of its kind in Indonesia.
Let me tell you what drove us, why it works and why it fascinates us.
I will take you into the world of the oceans and inspire you. Because whether we’re talking about rebuilding coral reefs or IT projects:
Love it, Leave it OR CHANGE IT!
The biggest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.
Robert Swan
I bring the ocean to you!
Webinars & Lectures
When you are a former IT product manager from Germany and now an active diving instructor in Bali, you simply pack your bags, get on a boat and start planting over 100,000 corals by hand with the aim of giving something back to the cultural heritage of the ocean, you have to have stamina.
You have to overcome hurdles, endure setbacks and failures and work voluntarily for hours underwater in sometimes strong currents.
You are labeled a sustainability “weirdo”, bore other people with your ambition and still keep going.
Five years later, you are faced with an intact marine ecosystem, with an incredible return of biodiversity, created by your own hands.
My topics
Sustainability | Marine ecosystems | Project success
Taking a risk, leaving the passive corner and broadening your perspective is what my webinars and keynotes are all about.
My goal is to inspire and motivate you and your team to take action!
I invite you on a journey to the island of the gods and show you how passion and team spirit have made something possible that was unimaginable just a few years ago.
Your mission statement is important to me!
Increasing CSR - taking responsibility
In my presentations and webinars, I take an individual approach to your company.
It’s about being able to identify and recognise what the art of the possible is – for you and your employees.
Go on a sustainable journey with your company, make OCEAN with Livingseas Foundation and I will help you to change your perspective!
I look forward to seeing you.
