About Berend Lange

I was born and bred in northern Germany and have lived in Hamburg initially, with two years in London/UK in between. The last 22 years I have spent in Johannesburg and Cape Town/South Africa, however, experiencing ten years of Apartheid there and then the country's profound years of change to democracy.

Being homesick, we have now moved back to Europe and settled in Villach in 2007, which is in Austria's beautiful Carinthia region.

I have been in the corporate world of international shipping for 29 years. It was an exciting time full of travel and challenges and I have met many interesting people there - some of them are still close friends.

For a few years now I have been working independently as a Management Consultant in Marketing and Public Relations, as well as ISO 9001 Quality Management, Human Resources and Skills Development, mainly for the transport industry. I am grateful for the assignments that I manage from my home office with a telephone, my laptop and an Internet connection.

I still find it immensely rewarding to study people who live, learn and grow in cultures different from my own. I have now reached a stage in my life in which I find it more important to not prove myself, but improve myself and pass on what I know, helping my clients to create the work- and lifestyle they desire.

As a Publisher I focus on lessons behind the scenes of current affairs: the only real failure in life is the failure to grow from what we go through, after all. Personal Growth and Writing are my passions, and the Internet is the stage on which I present myself. Combining both, I create my life the way I want it.

As a result of these activities, I now get a lot of enquiries from companies that need professional German or English text copy for their Public Relations.
