Leaving the paths of entrenched thought structures

Unconcious Bias workshops for managers and teams
Blind spots in perception are our constant companions – also in working life. Unconcious bias, unconscious presumptions, obscure the unbiased view of the new and the familiar. They stand in the way of an open and innovative work culture. Although this insight has theoretically long been accepted by management, in practice it often receives (too) little attention in everyday management. The reflection of our perception patterns is not only a question of justice in our life and work world. It belongs as a core element in every innovation development as an antidote to the tunnel vision of our own expertise. This applies to team or product development as well as to communication management. There are many good reasons to give time and attention to the new work trend “Unconcious Bias”.
Sovereignty and self-awareness

Develop the potential of your inner guidance
Which colours have security and uncertainty for you? What do you understand by “inner freedom”? As a coach and keynote speaker I invite you to question your own ingrained experiential knowledge. Strengthen your ability to deal with foreseeable and surprising situations with empowerment for more sovereignty and self-confidence. Experiential knowledge is not automatically helpful, especially if the experience is unsettling or if there is a lack of experience for the task. A confident attitude towards colleagues, superiors, supervisory board or customers increases your own scope for action – also that of your team. Individual and team coaching is possible.
Impulse for the Creative Bureaucracy Festival

Innovation in administration
Together with Hanno Burmester (Democracy Lab/Progressive Center) and Katja Jäger (better place lab) I had the pleasure to report in a short impulse and dialogue about the pilot project “Democracy as an everyday working experience“. Topic of the session: “Innovations from within – How do public administration employees become innovation promoters?
The focus was on practical experience in strengthening the innovative capacity of administrative staff. In this context, the conceptual approach of the Learning Journey was presented to promote this by strengthening personal implementation and change competence for the design of participatory development processes in politics, civil society and public administration.
Learning Journey "Democracy as an everyday working experience

How can participatory community be strengthened in the work context?
Co-creatively promote competencies for successful change directly with the people acting in different democratic systems! Driven by this desire, I developed the idea for this cooperative project with the Democracy Lab of the Progressive Center together with Hanno Burmester.
In the Learning Journey “Democracy as an Everyday Work Experience”, which I designed and accompanied, actors from politics, administration and civil society set out together to strengthen their concrete work for and in democracy. The focus was on developing their personal and social implementation and change competence, to look beyond the boundaries of their organisations and to network in a sustainable way.
Here in the report of the first Learning Journey you will find more information about the contents of this development program. Quotes from the participants* give an insight into which topics and insights of the last round were particularly important. The Learning Journey was part of the Democracy Lab of the Progressive Centre and was supported by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ) as part of the federal programme “Living Democracy”.

From footprint to handprint
At the invitation of Lukas Beckmann, I had the great pleasure of participating in the 2016 money summit of the GLS Bank Foundation in Witten/Herdecke with an introductory lecture. The focus was on “Homo civilis et oeconomicus” – the handprint of those people and groups for whom real economic value creation has the purpose of satisfying people’s economic, social and cultural needs.
Subject of my presentation was background, motives and experiences in context of the foundation and development of Europe’s largest women’s cooperative and the establishment of the first women’s start-up centre in Berlin. You can find out more here.
