Hello, I’m Julian Lehnhardt

I accompany children and families for part of their journey.
With care, experience and a clear focus on what truly matters.

My everyday work includes family guidance,
coaching and creative formats for children, parents and families in Wollerau,
the Höfe district and online.

My path

My journey with children began in 2005, at the age of twelve, as an assistant at a holiday camp. Since then, working with children and families has remained at the centre of my life.

Today, I support people in challenging situations – at home, in school settings and within teams. Always with a pedagogical perspective and a focus on everyday reality.

Living with ADHD – and working with it

ADHD is part of my life. It is what it is. What matters is how we deal with it. For me, that means clarity, creativity and focusing on what helps rather than on what is labelled as a problem. This perspective shapes my work with families, children and professionals.

What I offer

  • Family and parent guidance in everyday life and during challenging phases
  • Learning support, creative impulses and theatre-based pedagogical work for children
  • Guidance around ADHD and neurodivergent topics
  • Support for schools and teams that want to explore new approaches
  • An understanding of leadership perspectives when supporting employees with ADHD

Let’s talk

Every collaboration begins with genuine listening. I believe in development – and in the idea that every family has the right to find its own path.

Nach meinem ersten Zusammentreffen mit Julian sagte ich zu meiner Frau, wenn der junge Mann Geld für sein Business benötigt, in ihn können wir investieren.

Er wird sein Ding machen. Und das sage ich wirklich sehr selten. Mein durchweg positiver Eindruck von Julian entstand, weil ich selten einen so reflektierten jungen Mann erlebt habe. Nicht nur, dass Julian schon sehr viel praktisch erfahren und erlebt hat, er weiß seine Erfahrungen zu strukturieren, zu sortieren und mit Theorie und Wissen anzureichern. Was dabei herauskommt, ist eine geballte Kompetenz.

In seinem Spezialgebiet ADHS und Erziehung ist Julian für mich Benchmark. Julian kennt sich aber nicht nur gut aus, er kann sein Wissen auch in wertvolle Produkte und Angebote übersetzen. Damit können andere von seinem Wissen und seiner Erfahrung profitieren. Wenn ich ein Anliegen rund um das Thema Erziehung oder ADHS hätte, ich wüsste genau an wen ich mich wende: Julian wäre für mich die erste Wahl.

It is rare that you come across such an inspirational preschool leader and dedicated teacher like Julian!

As a parent representative I had the pleasure of working together with Julian for one year at the German School Nikolaus Kopernikus in Panama. He took on the enormous task of implementing the Reggio Emilia philosophy in the preschool and although external circumstances were challenging at times he largely succeeded thanks to his persistence and resourcefulness. Above all, Julian was able to transmit his passion for preschool teaching to his team and the larger school community. As a parent it was especially important to me that Julian always encouraged a strong and positive parent-school relationship.

Julian ist ein ADHS-Coach, der die berühmten "drei Dinge auf einmal" auf sich vereint:​

Er hat aktuelles Fachwissen, er lebt selbst mit ADHS und kennt das Bildungssystem seit vielen Jahren aus erster Hand. All das verbindet er mit einer großen Portion Einfühlungsvermögen und ganz viel Humor.

Aphantasia – When the Mind’s Eye Falls Silent

Imagine being unable to create images in your mind – no faces, no places, no visual memories. For people with aphantasia, this is everyday life. How does this affect learning processes, creative tasks, or personal relationships? What can you do to support those affected – and could it be that your child is affected as well?

Language Shapes Reality

How we talk about children shapes how they see themselves. Why “not wrong” still sounds wrong – and what a language can look like that strengthens children instead of judging them.

When adults choose to serve, not to rule – what children truly need

Children need adults. Not as judges, not as project managers. But as people who serve them. To serve means creating spaces, setting boundaries as railings rather than walls, and taking responsibility. Not every wish, not perfection - but balance and a shared burden.
