You’ll be mentored at a level few ever get access to.
You’ll learn what most MBAs don’t teach – in the real world, with real impact.
You’ll work directly with Sonja Piontek – award winning international entrepreneur, Spiegel bestselling author, global keynote speaker, former Director of Marketing BMW Asia, and powerhouse behind some of the most exclusive high-level experiences on the planet.
You’ll join two exclusive workcations in Kitzbühel in Sonja's chalet.
You’ll help shape and support the Namib Desert Expedition – and if you earn it, you’ll walk 120 km on foot through one of the world’s harshest and most breathtaking landscapes.
You won’t just grow. You’ll transform.
This is not a job.
It’s a launchpad into excellence.
And it will change the trajectory of your life.
The Namib Desert Expedition is unique in its kind. It is an exclusive, all-female, 120 km journey on foot through the world’s oldest desert – designed to push limits, ignite transformation, and create life-changing breakthroughs.
Personally led by Sonja Piontek and supported by Namibia’s most experienced desert team, this isn’t a trip. It’s an extraordinary experience of silence, vastness, challenge, and power.
International participants walk for five days through dramatic dune landscapes, camp under the stars, and reach the wild Atlantic coast forever changed.
The expedition is physically and mentally demanding, deeply meaningful, and has been described as "the best gift I could have given myself.”
As the intern, you’ll help prepare and promote one of the rarest and most impactful expeditions on earth – and if you’re exceptional, you’ll join it.
Sonja Piontek doesn’t just inspire - she redefines what’s possible.
A SPIEGEL bestselling author, award-winning entrepreneur, and former Director of Marketing for BMW Asia, she now guides top-tier leaders to profound personal and professional breakthroughs. Her clients include international entrepreneurs and executives who refuse to settle for average.
Sonja is the founder of Sonnenkind Pte Ltd, creator of money-can’t-buy experiences, and a powerhouse of transformation. Having lived in six countries and spoken on stages in 49, she brings radical clarity, operational excellence, and emotional depth to everything she does.
German BUNTE magazine describes her as: "Powerhouse of inspiration – full of IQ and EQ"
Her deep love for Namibia - immortalised in her NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC book - led to the creation of the world’s only all-female expedition across the Namib Desert. A life-changing journey for women ready to rise.

There is no salary. What you receive is far more valuable:
Knowledge, access, participation in an event unique in the world and a level of transformation money can’t buy.
There is only one spot. So won't wait.
