Designed From a Techie - For Individuals Who Like Data, Numbers, and clear KPIs
Hi, I'm Reiner, the mind behind the High-Performance Mind program. In '96, I headed to Silicon Valley, fueled by tech passion. MIT Tech Review named me a Top Innovator under 30, right beside Larry Page and Jerry Yang. As a Yahoo! engineering director, I thrived managing teams of 30. Success came at a cost — workload overwhelmed, focus wavered, and burnout threatened.
But I wasn't settling. As a leader, I wanted to improve and achieve true leadership mastery.
Mindfulness proved transformative. I crafted mind-management methods, guiding 400 at Zalando.
The result? Smoother than leading 30 at Yahoo!
However, many of my attempts to optimize my mind & body also failed. Back then, I also worked with many experts and coaches. They had good impulses and ideas, but somehow, I couldn't implement many of these ideas.
I suddenly became aware that my untrained mind, the "monkey mind", was actually the cause of this problem.
But how can I successfully train the mind?
So, over the last few years, I have immersed myself deeply in the topics of measurable mindfulness, neuroscience, and epigenetics and have developed so-called “Mind KPIs.” I called the whole concept “High-Performance Mind” - a synergy of high levels of consciousness, a trained mind, and a healthy body with lots of energy and performance.
I could clearly see how my consciousness level changed for the better, and my monkey mind became calmer.
The approach worked and since many tech leaders took advantage of this effective training program.

Your Transformation with Measurable Mindfulness, Mind-Management, and Biohacking
The "Busy" and Fast Mind
The "Worrying" and Slow Mind
“My mind races non-stop. The pressure of tight deadlines and an ever-increasing backlog make me feel overwhelmed. I wake in the night, planning the next day's tasks. In the morning, I feel exhausted and lack energy…”
“A constant weight burdens my mind, slowing me down. Impostor syndrome creeps in, casting doubt on my abilities. The fear of being exposed nags at me, hindering my growth as a leader. Stuck and stressed, working harder doesn't seem to break the cycle…”
How Mind Management can help?
Regain command over your thoughts. Channel your energy away from fruitless musings and into productive creativity.
How Mind-Management can help?
Break free from perpetual negativity and worry. Raise your level of present awareness (LPA) with measurable mindfulness. Embrace and transcend your fears and uncertainties, escaping the cycle's grasp.
A Training Program That Delivers Impactful Results
In this 12-week transformative program, you will learn how to achieve a state of a high-performance mindset by upgrading your mind and body, while cultivating more awareness in your life.
Prevent Mental Exhaustion
Or worse, prevent burning out by proactively taming your monkey mind. Burnout has major consequences on all aspects of your life and requires significant turn-around and therapy time to recover. Be one step ahead!
Empowered Decisions
You will achieve new levels of clarity and a deeper connection to your intuition to improve your decision qualities.
Stay in Flow
As your brain health improves, you will notice that your ability to focus will improve significantly while your levels of creativity and productivity surge. Stay in the ultimate state of flow for prolonged time periods.
Acquire self-knowledge through numbers
… using a data-driven approach with clear KPIs and the latest wearable tech: Harness the power of data to understand yourself better, track your progress, and achieve personal growth through measurable mindfulness practices.
Being Happy
Achieve higher levels of happiness and success by more skillfully managing relationships: Discover how mindfulness and improved communication skills can enrich your relationships and contribute to your overall happiness and success.
Improved Mental Capabilities
That leads to increased processing speed, as well as an overall improvement within your executive brain functions that control decision-making and provide the foundation of your cognitive abilities. Your memory access, both short-term and long-term retrieval, will be better off.
Increased Mental Agility
So you can spend quality time with your family and loved ones at home and improve the quality of your relationships and connections. Finally, you can turn off the "voice in your head" and relax when desired while switching into a focused execution mode if needed.
A Healthier You
Your body awareness is increasing, which helps you make better choices regarding nutrition, exercise, and rest while creating a more balanced mix for your life. This leads to a healthier and more resilient body.
10x Compassion
As your level of present awareness (LPA) increases, your compassion and empathy qualities are magnified, leading to deeper relationships and an increased level of trust in the teams.
Elevated IQ and EQ
The practices to get to a high-performance mind will increase your IQ and emotional intelligence (EQ), which is the foundation for many desirable personal leadership qualities.
Measurable Mindfulness
A Systematic Path to more Awareness and a High-Performance Mind
As a scientist, I initially viewed mindfulness with skepticism, considering it somewhat nebulous. However, a shift occurred when I experienced those "Aha" moments a few years ago. This propelled me into what I now call "Measurable Mindfulness" – a systematic approach leading to a high-performance mind and true self.
Over time, I uncovered additional "mind" KPIs, which, combined with wearable-tracked metrics, form the foundation of our training.
Engaging with over 10 impactful wearable KPIs and manual mind KPIs, you'll gain insights into assessment, baseline establishment, and crucially, enhancement.
Welcome the upgrade to heightened mindfulness and mastery.
Mind-Management
Upgrade Your “Mind Software” (“MindOS”)
In a world filled with distractions, an untrained mind can easily lose focus, entangled in self-talk and excessive thoughts.
I envision the mind as software ("mindOS") running on your brain's "hardware."
Just as software can be debugged and improved, your mind can be too.
After a decade of refining various methods, I've created a comprehensive "mind management" approach—an essential skill for everyone. This involves tracking 10+ manual mind KPIs to assess, establish baselines, and enhance your practice.
Biohacking
Upgrade Your Body, “The Hardware,” Based on the Science of Epigenetics
Neglecting our bodies is common until symptoms of misuse appear.
Biohacking might sound trendy, but it's about shaping your biology intentionally.
By altering your internal and external environment, you gain control over your health.
This proactive journey involves scientific evidence and an experimental mindset, employing measured changes to optimize sleep, nutrition, micronutrient support, intermittent fasting, exercise, and detoxification.
Vital biomarkers like Vitamin D are tracked to evaluate progress, often through convenient at-home tests.
Plan
Develop your own KPI Cockpit
Embrace data-driven training with clear KPIs. Learn relevant mind and brain health indicators, track them in your evolving "KPI cockpit," and follow the measure-build-learn-repeat mantra.
Apply agile methodologies to craft your KPI dashboard in the early weeks for lasting transformation.
Use Tech
Leverage Latest Wearable Tech For Actionable Insights
Partnered with ONVY Health, we integrate wearable tech for seamless data aggregation. ONVY App and recommended wearables like the Oura ring calculate stress, recovery, mindfulness, and balance scores. It's your intelligent companion for body-mind balance.

In month 2, you will start experimenting with setting up your own mind-management practice and find the style that works for you.
In month 3, you will solidify to operationalize your practice and learn how to apply your new "high-performance mind" capabilities in your daily personal and work context.
Important KPIs to measure Success
To validate your progress, these are (some of) the important KPIs you will learn how to start tracking, monitoring, and strategies on how to improve them systematically.
Level of Present Awareness (LPA)
Gauge the percentage of mindful minutes among your total waking hours. Boosting LPA enhances mental control, flexibility, self-reflection, and resilience.
Start around 1% - 2% and aim to increase it tenfold, surpassing 10% (equivalent to 100 mindful minutes daily).
Avg. Number of Thoughts per Minute (TPM)
Fewer thoughts signify calmness.
Establish your TPM baseline, discern thinking patterns, and set achievable goals for gradual reduction.
Sleep Score (Oura)
Solid sleep is a pivotal biohack for brain health.
Using the Oura ring, track sleep quality and strive for a score above 80 (or up to 100) to align with stress reduction goals.
HRV (heart rate variability)
Reflects your body's stress self-regulation and resilience.
Monitor HRV during sleep or mornings, aiming for relative improvement over time, aligned with your baseline.
