I am Barbara Neuhofer.
I am a Professor of Experience Design, a Transformational Coach, Keynote Speaker and Experience Design Consultant and Trainer.
My life’s calling is to spark, empower, and guide you on experiences and your journey of transformation to unlock your highest Self and purpose in the world.
My name is Barbara Neuhofer. My life’s calling is to be an educator and spark transformation, which I am humbled to do in multiple settings. I work at several international universities and I am based as a Professor of Experience Design at the Department of Business & Tourism at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Austria. I am a Transformation Coach, Keynote Speaker and Experience Design Consultant and Trainer. My own life experiences and research focus on the intersection of experience design, human transformation, and consciousness. I integrate positive psychology and design to understand, intentionally design, and guide beautiful experiences that unlock journeys to our highest Self.
My current research focuses on experience design for human transformation. Through insights from my own personal life’s journey of transformation and my scientific research, I research everything about experiences, transformation, digital transformation and value co-creation. The intersection of positive psychology, design and digital transformation gives me a unique lens to tap into the world of experiences and understand how through experiences we can elevate our human consciousness and bring value and positive impact to our personal lives, workplaces, and Planet Earth.
Words spark inspiration and transformation.
I have the honour to share my personal journey of transformation, scientific insights from research, and foresight of latest trends on experience design and transformation in my keynote speeches. I am frequently invited as an international keynote speaker and have shared my insights at over 100 scientific conferences, global industry summits, and business events around the globe.
To guide others means to transform ourselves first.
As a Transformational Coach, I work with individuals, thought leaders, executives, and designers to empower and guide them on their own personal journeys of transformation and personal growth. I help individuals navigate the challenges of transformative experiences, unlock their true potential, and create the highest version of their conscious Self. As an Experience Design Consultant, I work with businesses and organisations to help them create, design, and guide human and digital and transformative experiences that make a positive impact in the world.
Education brings transformation to the world.
I am an educator and professor. It is a great honour to be part of the educational journeys of so many wonderful individuals. I teach a range of subjects connected to experience design at several international universities. I train companies and consulting firms with design methods on next level experience design to help them change the world of their clients and guests.
