About Us

About Us

We understand that the advent of digitalization, hyperconnectivity and the escalating pressures of modern life have complicated our existence. This has made it increasingly difficult to maintain a connection with our true inner selves or others. This disconnection often manifests as psychological distress that include burnout, isolation, depression or psychosomatic ailments.

At Vivid Ground, we are committed to empowering every individual seeking to make more authentic choices by helping them better understand their core values and discover what truly resonates with their unique personality. This way they can make confident, values-driven choices that reflect who they truly are. Our foundation rests on the solid bedrock of rigorous scientific research and extensive professional experience. It collectively underscores the profound impact that values-based living has on personal and planetary well-being by fostering deeper self-awareness and promoting values-based decision-making.

We envision a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive by living in harmony with their values, thereby not only enhancing their intrinsic motivation and personal success but also cultivating a greater sense of fulfillment. We are dedicated to reversing the negative trends of modern life, promoting overall well-being, and inspiring sustainable actions that are socially and ecologically responsible. Benedict Dr. Benedict Heblich CEO Dr. Benedict Heblich is the initiator of Find Your Values and a senior researcher in motivational psychology at the German university Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
