How does Wirksam Inspirieren work?

Illustration: A light in the mind.

The method follows a clearly structured process consisting of several coordinated phases. Together, they help you shape conversations so that new perspectives emerge, thought processes are set in motion, and sustainable decisions become possible.

Whether in sales conversations, leadership situations, or discussions about goals and direction – Wirksam Inspirieren provides the framework for communication that has an impact.

Even before you begin persuading or making arguments, the conditions for an inspiring conversation are already being set. In this phase, you lay the foundation for impact: with clarity of purpose, change of perspective, mental preparation, and a sharpened awareness of psychological dynamics.

What this phase covers:

  • Goal setting – Gain clarity about the purpose, direction, and significance of the conversation
  • Change of perspective – Consider the other person’s values, goals, perceptions, and emotions
  • Cognitive pitfalls – Recognize potential mental biases in the situation and navigate them confidently
  • Psychological tactics – Effectively foster trust, openness, and confidence in decision-making

Interest is not created by information, but by relevance.

A conversation only becomes effective when the other person establishes a personal connection to the topic.

In this phase, you create resonance – with topics that strike a chord, an opening that connects, and initial prompts that invite reflection.

Effective conversations take the other person’s internal agenda seriously.

The aim is to discover what truly matters at that moment – to the person as well, not just to the business.

By recognizing what the other person is focused on, you provide orientation and create the conditions for viable next steps.

What speaks in favor of a course of action or change – and what speaks against it?

In this phase, you create clarity within the other person’s internal tension – between hope and concern, opportunity and risk.

By making opportunities and obstacles visible in a structured way, you help make the situation tangible and enable a clear examination of the options.

What is at stake? What are the consequences of taking action or not taking action?

In this phase, you encourage conscious consideration of the consequences – both rationally and emotionally.

By making the implications visible, you foster reflection and clarity.

Change succeeds only when you stop treating symptoms and instead identify and address the actual causes.

In this phase, you look beneath the surface: at relationships, patterns, and hidden influencing factors.

You help the other person recognize the underlying causes – opening up genuine paths to solutions.

A proposal only has an impact when it meets a genuine need at the right moment.

In this phase, you work with the other person to identify the specific need – not abstractly, but in a tangible, relevant, and understandable way.

Urgency does not come from pressure, but from clarity about value, timing, and consequences.

Even valuable insights need stability in order to become sustainable decisions.

In this phase, you reinforce the other person’s inner conviction – not through persuasion, but by building on what has already emerged in the conversation.

You create commitment, strengthen engagement, and help ensure that the next step is not only recognized, but actually taken.

Über mich

DI Dr. Vaheh Khachatouri

Through practical experience, I have learned how decisions are made – and how they can be influenced.

My fascination with thought processes and decision dynamics has shaped every stage of my career: from modeling human decision-making behavior in robots, through business development and sales, to responsibility as a managing director.

For many years, I have worked closely with entrepreneurs from a wide range of industries – in key decision-making situations involving corporate leadership, market positioning, strategy development, and setting agendas in sales.

I have continually enriched my knowledge with insights from decision psychology, behavioral economics, and strategic communication – developing it into a system that I now apply and share in a targeted way.

All of this comes together in Wirksam Inspirieren – for everyone who wants to communicate with impact and set decisions in motion.
