Peter Lüder is a theatre director and has led over 50 theatre projects through creative chaos and unforeseen setbacks to successful premieres. Today, as one of Germany’s most renowned lecture coaches, he brings people to successful lectures and onto the stage.

Taking charge of and directing our own lives makes us strong as personalities and enables us to bring projects to a successful conclusion.

But how do we become successful directors in our own lives?

Based on his moving story, Peter Lüder teaches his listeners the elements of successful directing and life leadership. It all began when he was seriously injured in a car accident. His life was saved in intensive care, but when he returned from the coma he learned that he had lost a leg. Through his journey from this ground zero, through setbacks and self-doubt, back onto the stage of life, the listener understands how he himself can deal with the unexpected, with change and with strokes of fate. Enriched by theatre anecdotes, he learns how to come closer to the goal of living and working powerfully and self-determined.

Peter Lüder is concerned to show his listeners how much is possible. That a person can master the many demands of life by finding what carries him over the shoals of life. That it is possible to develop a vision and a clear focus on goals while having fun. That it is possible to draw strength from taking responsibility for oneself and others. And that it is possible to overcome the fear of failure with his creative approach from the theatre.

In this way, his audience learns how to come to terms with themselves, become directors of their own lives and meet the challenges of life confidently and actively.
