Hybrid Meetings – Food for Misunderstandings
I know a lot of people, who love their job. This is not at all self-evident. And imagine the opposite: How much time people would spend unhappy, if they should not like their job! These happy people meet other happy people, their collaborators, clients and partners. In my experience this is often the reason, why […]

Working in a multicultural context
The tendency is obvious: We live in an increasing multicultural world. Many workplaces are – apart from the international contacts – exposed to many different corporate cultures.

C’est le ton qui fait la musique
