Sannssi Cissé
Sannssi, CEO of V-Tay, is a trained systemic coach with extensive experience in the corporate and startup space. He has spent his career coaching young professionals and supporting them with the right frameworks to gain more inner clarity. Most of his activities revolve around creating environments where people can make meaningful insights about the world and themselves such as regular BIPOC personal development circles and larger personal development events.
Sannssi was raised in the extremely diverse environment of Berlin, Moabit, where having more than one home country was the norm.
Things only changed for him when he entered the world of work: he encountered walls for the first time that would only allow diversity with certain conditions. Frustrated by this experience and the dullness of working a 9 to 5 job everyday to make some money with something he didn’t care about, he found himself in a quarter-life-crisis, and he knew he had to make a change
As external factors couldn’t be changed immediately, he focused on changing his internal world by spending all his leisure time reading up on personal development classics from “The Power of the Subconscious Mind” to “The Alchemist”. He tried out everything he read, from meditation, to active goal setting, visualizations, journaling and whatnot. With every little change he implemented, his state of happiness improved and so did his career.
Seeing all this positive change happen in his life, he wished deeply that everyone could make such a transition that makes them happier and more satisfied but realized that only few would have the time or the resources to do so. So he started a YouTube channel where he’d share his learnings on a weekly basis, went through training as a systemic coach to professionalize his skills, opened personal development circles and went into schools as he believed it could never be too early to start working on oneself.
But he realized that he was still far from reaching everyone and that he’d not be able to do so as a standalone coach. So he started to imagine a world in which everyone could easily receive the mental guidance they need, a world in which personal development resources are truly inclusive and regard everyone’s challenges. This is when he met his old school friend Marcel who had made similar experiences in his late 20s – it clicked, and they decided to bring their knowledge plus the knowledge of other coaches and personal development enthusiast on a platform that allows people to coach themselves, to get over their very own quarter-life-crisis and have the right support for everything that comes after.
CMO
Marcel Anthony Alber
Marcel is an esteemed author of novels and screenplays, having dedicated his life to exploring and gaining a deeper understanding of the human experience through storytelling. He uses his skills to not only provide V-Tay with quality content but to also make it an engaging, empathetic and profound experience for the user.
At a young age Marcel was fascinated by fantastic stories about extraordinary people who, against all odds, embark on adventurous journeys that, in turn, make them stronger, wiser, more fulfilled.
His fascination made him want to tell his own inspiring stories, motivating him to write day and night, read guidebooks about storytelling and finally even study literature all the while working his way up in Marketing. In order to handle all these different factors in his life, he used Time Management as well as Self Leadership techniques that helped him to organize, motivate and discipline himself. As a balance to stress, he took the time to perform active relaxation techniques such as Meditation and Visualization.
After a whole year of working strictly toward his goal, he fulfilled his lifelong dream and finally published his debut novel. But what his peers identified with most was not the story itself – it was the story behind the story: that of the hurdles he himself had to overcome in fulfilling his dream. Since then he’s burning to pass on his knowledge by creating a platform that makes Personal Development accessible to all. As the CMO of V-Tay, he offers everyone the chance to apply the same techniques to themselves that helped him achieve his goal.
His drive to help people go through times of crisis has since broken the boundaries of his professional life, leading him to volunteer in a children’s hospice, where he learns more and more about how to interact with people on a deep emotional level, especially during life’s low points. He uses his experience to equip V-Tay with the needed sensitivity and empathy, keen on creating the best possible compagnon to support everyone in need on their journey to become stronger, wiser and more fulfilled.
