Tech coach and author Anke Herrmann talks about growing up in East Germany and how escaping oppression allowed her to take the risks necessary to thrive. For her, making it means the freedom to leverage her creative skill set to help others succeed.

Welcome to Making It! This weekly show explores the lives and stories of entrepreneurs as they share their unique perspectives on their success and the path to making it. 

Anke Herrmann is an online tech expert, coach and author. She is the founder of Taming the Tech Monster, a company that helps professional coaches build an online business beyond one-to-one services without tech headaches.

“And I saw that what I’ve got now is I can bring everything to the table, absolutely everything, and really help people.”

Anke Herrmann

Anke is an online tech expert, coach and author of Taming the Tech Monster. She started her entrepreneurial journey in 2004 when she quit her software developer job in the UK, moved to Spain and started a sewing business. She soon realized that building a business really is a CREATIVE PROCESS, the same as sewing a dress or developing software – a magical mix of vision, skill and soul.

She now guides passion-driven coaches through her TORNADO process to help them grow their business online beyond 1:1, without tech headaches.
