If you read that article you will find that Spektrum (the German version of the Scientific American) wrote her a well meaning obituary.
I wonder why. Via Google Translate, the obituary says only:
Vera F. Birkenbihl, G & G-author of the first hour, passed away on Saturday, December 3, 2011, a pulmonary embolism. Born on April 26, 1946 psychologist and journalist earned a reputation as a manager trainer and author of more than 30 non-fiction books in which they presented their learning styles among others. Since the first edition of 2002, she was an integral author strain of G & G and coined the "Better thinking" section. On the occasion of her death, we have unlocked her contributions as samples.
(I think "Autorin der ersten Stunde" actually means "founding author" in this context. G & G is "Brain and Mind", a section of the magazine. ETA: Which is a perfectly good reason for giving her an obituary,)
It then has links to a few of her articles, but the ones I sampled were on topics in training and personal development, sprinkled with neuroscience. No QM.

The related skill is communicating science to a broad public in a way the public understands. That's what she did at Spektrum and what she does in that video. The room in which she's holding that lecture is a proper university hall at the Technische Universität München.
The lecture doesn't say something that would damage her reputation among academics.
Your stereotypical patterns don't work well in her case.
