Methods - Holistic strategies for more resilience & vitalitySmiling Wisdom: The difference that really counts
Smiling Wisdom is more than just traditional coaching. It is a holistic approach based on the four central pillars of modern resilience – combined with proven principles from Eastern wisdom, modern neuroscience and practical leadership experience.
The goal: mental clarity, physical strength, cellular energy and deep regeneration – for people who want to achieve a lasting effect with minimal effort.
By integrating Ki/Chi principles, yoga, Qi-Gong and martial arts techniques, managers learn to direct their energy and use it efficiently.
The four pillars of Smiling Wisdom – and what makes them unique
1️⃣ Mental & emotional clarity

2️⃣ Physical strength & posture

Having experienced a crisis and the associated sleep problems, I contacted Thomas on the recommendation of a friend. What a wise decision that was! Thomas’ expert analysis of my situation and the new thought patterns I learned helped me a lot. The breathing exercises and Yoga Nidra are now valuable companions and help me to sleep much better again. I am a fan!

The combination of Thomas Gloor’s likeable and winning personality and a simple and effective training helped me to react to stimuli in a self-determined way within a few sessions and thus get rid of old automated misbehavior.

In just a few sessions, Thomas showed me how I can free myself from the deep turmoil of everyday life, the ever-increasing pressure to perform and also private stress. Thomas was able to teach me about places of power, positive thoughts, resonance, self-determined direction and action in his calm and friendly manner.
