My mission
is to redefine Work by creating a human-centred work culture that encourages mindfulness, celebrates uniqueness & creates sustainable growth for everyone involved.
My clients are Leaders, Entrepreneurs, CEOs & Business Owners (from Solopreneur to Fortune 500) who all have one thing in common:
They want to create impact, change the world, commit to better practices…AND they are sick and tired of the endless hustle and grind. They know there is another way of doing life & business, but haven’t found it – yet.
People come to me overwhelmed with guilt and worry. They feel constant FOMO in life and in their business and the fear of staying in a place of mediocrity.
With my signature framework The T.I.M.E. Method® I help my clients reduce their working hours by up to 50%, so that we can design a lifestyle on their own terms, make bold decisions & grow a fulfilling business that is sustainable.

The T.I.M.E. Method
– A NO BULLSH*T APPROACH TO CREATING AN ABUNDANCE OF TIME
My book, recommended by FORBES, helps you create an abundance of time without sacrificing your energy or your life.
In this book, I show you how to adapt traditional tools and techniques to your individual energy, core values and leadership traits.
Bringing these in alignment will help you live life fully & unlock your ultimate potential.
Because if you can slow down, you will speed up.
The Path
“The Obstacle is the Way”
(Ryan Holiday)
Some people read quotes. Other’s live them.
Monique Lindner, aka The Time Alchemist, was born in former East Germany with two chronic health challenges, yet she started to work by age 13. This potent mixture led to her dying of cardiac arrest by age 19 and being clinically dead for 25 seconds.
Monique is an adventurous spirit on the autism spectrum whose mission is to redefine work by creating a human-centered work culture that encourages mindfulness, celebrates uniqueness, and creates sustainable growth for everyone involved.
Monique is the creator of The T.I.M.E. Method® and published her book under the same name in the first lockdown of 2020 – putting her own signature framework to the test.
She’s been featured in several top magazines such as Forbes, spoke at TEDx, and was interviewed on a range of diverse podcasts to share her wisdom and knowledge about Time and how we can Slow Down to Speed up.

Happy event organisers
“When it comes to ideal podcast guests, Monique Lindner is really the trifecta.
First of all, she is a captivating storyteller.
Secondly, she has had extraordinary life experiences and can share profound lessons and reflections on them which not only inspire but cause all of us to think deeper about our own lives.
And third, she’s a brilliant entrepreneur, time alchemist, and productivity wizard, who is able to drop specific tips during the podcast interview which provide massive value that listeners can start applying in their own life immediately.
4 years after interviewing Monique, I’m still repurposing clips from her interview today!”

The Path
Our story is written in the here & now. Make it count.
When I discovered my superpower, it was almost too late.
Would you believe me if I told you dying saved my life?
I started working full time while I was still in high school. By 15 I had two weekend jobs and a weekday job. I was chasing time and energy-until time ran me down.
At 19 I suffered a cardiac arrest that left me clinically dead for 25 seconds.
In my book ‘The T.I.M.E. Method – A no bullsh*t guide to creating an abundance of time’ I share my very personal story explaining why this cardiac arrest was the best wake-up call. Dying forced me to step outside of the tiny box I’d shoved my life into.
I don’t want anyone to have to face death to realize what I did: There is a different way to live and to work.

I helped Stefan to unlock his Superpower
“It’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life/career in a long time. Monique has helped me to maximize my efficiency dramatically. (…) She’s also helped me to prioritize my most important tasks, and to feel less anxious and stressed.
Monique has helped me so much to get organized and be more effective and efficient while working less, which is tremendous. When we started working together, I was working pretty routinely, eight to 12 hours a day, including weekends.
I think the issue I’ve had that a lot of entrepreneurs have is that I felt like if I wasn’t working, I felt guilty. I am now working four to six hours a day. I’m taking weekends off, yet I get tremendously more done.”

Stand up for your Truth
As a business owner who strives to make a huge impact in this world, it is our duty to stand up for injustice, and make it loud and clear what our believes are that we fight for.
I truly believe that especially as entrepreneurs & business owners we have a special responsibility in this world, to stand up for the ones with less opportunities, bring equity to the table and use our businesses as a vehicle to empower and elevate others.
This is our mission, the mission of Pineapples, Pirouettes & The PowerWoman oü (Yes, that’s our official business name, ha!) too. We choose to create change by helping empower refugees & ethnic minorities through education & opportunities around the world.

I helped Kent to unlock his Superpower
“The biggest ROI I got from the work were actually twofold. Number one is (…) an immediate financial boost. Because I was executing & getting the results, I was seeing more financial return (…) secondly, it’s the quality of life. I love it. (…)
So I went from being overwhelmed and distracted, and really unfocused (…) Now I’m clear on what I’m doing and what I’m not doing. You know, I have a team of people that I delegate to, (…) and I am making progress every day (…) and I can measure that. And I can see it. I mean, it shows up in my quality of life, it shows up in my bank account. (…) it’s one of the greatest investments I’ve ever made in myself”
