As a communications consultant and content creator, I help international organisations take their storytelling to the next level, particularly in the areas of international relations, sustainability and self-management.

My journalistic research in countries such as Pakistan, Armenia, Zimbabwe and Cambodia has shown me how powerful storytelling can bring about lasting, positive change. These experiences flow into my work as a communications consultant. I help purpose brands to communicate their messages effectively and convincingly so that they are remembered for a long time.

With a bachelor's degree in cultural studies, a bachelor's degree in business administration and a master's degree in international relations as well as intercultural training as a trainer and journalist, I bring a wide range of expertise to the table. As a traveller and reporter, I have over a decade of experience abroad in more than 60 countries. This experience enables me to look at complex issues from different angles, recognise connections and potential and find solutions.

With my creative and analytical heart, I inspire people for effective storytelling, follow my intuition and have our goals in mind. Fun and joy are also a must. Curiosity and empowerment drive me, combined with out-of-the-box thinking that motivates teams and inspires them to explore new avenues.

‘Over the past three years, I have found Luisa Willmann to be extremely open, critical, independent and absolutely reliable. Luisa Willmann is enthusiastically active in all areas of the Reporter Academy Berlin, she supports me in my journalistic work, creates topic-specific research dossiers and edits my texts to a high standard. Her reports testify to her journalistic talent, her excellent feel for language, a passionate closeness to interesting people and a burning curiosity about the world. She is extremely team-orientated and is highly appreciated by our participants and partners for her friendly manner.’
- Michael Obert, foreign reporter and founder of the Reporter Academy Berlin and Managing Director of Storywerk

‘Luisa was a wonderful participant at Travel Sam. Her courageous trip to Africa was informative and VERY entertaining. We are already looking forward to her next appearance!’
- Frank Lustig, organiser of the Travel Slam

‘Luisa showed us participants a concept of self-organisation that allows me to work in harmony with myself and not constantly against myself: with my resources, my energy, my sense of order. And with lots of practical tips and tools. As a seminar leader, she coordinated clearly and reliably with us freelance writers in advance, so that our effort was minimal and the seminar went smoothly. Many thanks for that!’
- Carolina Torres, journalist and Freischreiber employee

‘Luisa did an amazing storytelling workshop for digital nomads in Selina Manuel Antonio (Costa Rica). I invited her to do it and she accepted inmediately with joy! Full of compromise, passion, generosity and dedication, Luisa invited us to participate actively and shared with us lots of key elements to write a great story. The workshop was extremely helpful and inspiring for all of us! Thank you, Luisa!’
- Mel Ghertner, human rights lawyer and former Community Manager of Selina

‘I got to know Luisa Willmann at the Reporter Academy as a very committed and determined organiser. She was always on track, but always maintained just the right balance between closeness and distance to the participants. Luisa Willmann shines from within - her positive nature always inspires others.’
- Sabrina Mazzola, journalist

‘Curiosity is perhaps the most important quality in the journalistic profession. And if anyone is curious, it's Luisa Willmann. She chooses her topics in places where research hurts and always wants to get as close as possible to her protagonists. By reading her texts, we enter distant worlds: the experiences of women in Armenia who are pressurised into abortion, orphans in Cambodia or young people at risk of suicide in Tübingen. I don't know where Luisa Willmann gets the energy for her research projects. But we can look forward to seeing where she takes us next!’
- Tilman Wörtz, reporter for Zeitenspiegel Reportagen and former head of the Reutlingen Reportage School

‘We are delighted that Luisa Willmann took part in our intercultural trainer training programme and successfully completed it with the DVWO certificate.

- Wolfgang Jockusch, Managing Director of BAMIK GmbH, Berlin
