"Johann coached me through one of the most complex career decisions I've had to make. I usually rely on intuition, but he helped me map that intuition into something structured and clear. He pointed out blind spots I hadn't considered, helped me weigh the trade-offs, and guided me toward a decision I could stand behind with full confidence."

Not a wellness retreat
The problem isn't information. It's overload, and no system to cut through it.
This is built for people who already operate at a high level and need the execution layer: how to stay clear when the stakes are real and the clock is running. The method draws on 15 years of M&A deal-making and 30 years of competitive martial arts, applied through drills, not slides.
—Understand your decision patterns
—Test your thinking against bias and emotion
—Build a routine that keeps you sharp under pressure
—Align decisions with what actually matters to you

With Johann Marion
The MADE-Frame combines 15 years of M&A deal-making across Switzerland, Japan and Singapore with 30 years of competitive martial arts. Every session in this retreat is deliberate practice, not theory.
The same qualities that hold up in a deal room or on the mat, composure, timing, clear reading of a situation, are what decide outcomes when the stakes are real.
