    There is something wrong about the “right-or-wrong-concept”!

Here some quotes of communication in married life: If I am right, this means you are wrong! Why should […]

  • Hybrid Meetings – Food for Misunderstandings

    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

    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. Anyway the term “culture” cannot be limited to the country of origin of a person. The “Italians”, the “Germans” or even worse “Asian people”-concepts are wrong or at […]

  • Diversity and Team Work

    Diversity and Team Work

    In my childhood before our daily game of football it was common that two of the best players were selecting from the kids available in turns, one by one. Being selected last was a humiliation.

Still personal development is a key driver, the soul of what we do every day: learning! Even more there are skills like selfmanagement and virtual communication that need special attention in order to master these […]

  • From Story Telling to Dialogue

    From Story Telling to Dialogue

    Nobody denies the importance of story telling. The term is very fashionable nowadays. But what does it mean? Is it the art of converting your content into a fascinating show with catchy pictures, rich wording, a clever and surprising story line and a culmination at the end? Yes, but… With our background in theatre we […]

    Personal Assessment vs. Behaviour Assessment

    Most assessments nowadays include at least one online test to evaluate the personality of a candidate. The result should help to decide, weather the candidate has the talent, the ability, the right features for a role. But what is right and wrong e.g. in leadership? Some tests claim indeed they can tell you whether you […]

    C’est le ton qui fait la musique

    Maybe you are familiar with the situation: You had something important to say. And you said it. But the perception was different from what you had intended. It happened to me recently: I was sure (and I am still sure) it was the right thing to say, but the message did not reach my audience. Why? […]
