Michael Wurster
Founder of Coaching Pilot, International Trainer, Leadership & Mental Coach, Pilot
Professional Background:
Michael Wurster is an international trainer, leader and systemic coach whose work brings together international business, aviation, communication and personal development.
With more than 15 years of leadership experience, he currently serves as Head of European Training at ISUZU, where he is responsible for training and development across approximately 45 countries. Working with people from diverse cultures and professional backgrounds has shaped his understanding of leadership, communication and human development.
Coaching & Personal Development:
Michael is also the founder of Coaching Pilot, through which he supports pilots, leaders, teams and high-performing professionals in navigating demanding situations, strengthening their mental capabilities and developing new perspectives. His work includes mental coaching, leadership and team development, and train-the-trainer programmes.
His professional background combines engineering, aviation, international leadership and academic qualifications in systemic coaching and organisational development. His approach draws particularly on the work of Milton Erickson and Friedemann Schulz von Thun, integrating resource-oriented coaching, communication psychology and systemic thinking.
Philosophy & Approach:
As a pilot himself, Michael understands that even the best preparation cannot eliminate uncertainty. What matters is how we respond, the perspectives we take and the resources we can draw upon when facing challenges.
He is particularly interested in how people think, communicate and make sense of their experiences — and how a change in perspective can open up new possibilities.
Beyond developing professional skills, Michael believes that personal development is also about understanding ourselves, recognising what matters to us and making more conscious choices about how we want to live.
His workshops combine psychological insights, practical experience and personal reflection. Rather than offering ready-made answers, he creates space for curiosity, meaningful conversations and individual discovery.
For Michael, some of the most valuable moments in learning happen when people connect, exchange perspectives and discover possibilities they had not previously considered.

What Makes A Life Fulfilling? Looking Back To Move Forward
What makes a life truly fulfilling?
Is it what we achieve, the relationships we build, the experiences we collect, or perhaps something entirely different?
We spend much of our lives looking ahead, setting goals, making plans and focusing on what comes next. Yet how often do we pause to look back at the life we have lived so far?
What has made our lives rich and meaningful? What might we be overlooking? And what deserves more attention?
Drawing on Friedemann Schulz von Thun’s model of a fulfilled life and the resource-oriented approach of Milton Erickson, this session invites you to explore your own life from a different perspective.
A fulfilling life is not necessarily a perfect or constantly happy life. Even challenges, unexpected turns and difficult experiences can contribute to a sense of fulfilment.
Through psychological insights and guided personal reflection, we will explore what makes life fulfilling — not as an abstract concept, but in relation to our own experiences, values and choices.
The invitation is to appreciate what is already there, recognise what may be missing and discover where we might want to place more attention going forward.
What you may take away:
- A fresh perspective on what makes your life fulfilling.
- Greater appreciation for what is already good and meaningful.
- New insights into aspects of life that may deserve more attention.
- Inspiration to make more conscious choices about what comes next.
Sometimes, looking back is exactly what we need to move forward.
