A Leadership Program Comes to a Close
One program ends, and something new begins. We have once again completed a leadership program that is particularly close to our hearts. Over the course of several months, we had the privilege of supporting leaders as they strengthened their social and methodological skills in people management and further developed their own leadership styles. What makes such programs special for us is that they create a space for [...]
Breaks – A Waste of Time or Worthwhile?
“I don’t have time for a break.” “Breaks are just a waste of time anyway…” Does this sound familiar? In our daily work lives, we often rush from meeting to meeting, from one to-do to the next. We have our coffee “on the go” (or end up drinking it cold). And real breaks? Not a chance. Sometimes we might even feel guilty when taking a moment: “I really should be working…” Yet [...]
Wie wir uns wirklich von der Arbeit regenerieren
Jede:r weiß: Erholung ist wichtig. Aber: Wie erholen wir uns eigentlich „richtig“? Gerade in einer Arbeitswelt, in der Anforderungen steigen, To-do-Listen länger werden und viele Aufgaben immer schneller erledigt werden sollen, ist es wichtig, wirksame Erholung nicht aus den Augen zu verlieren. Deshalb möchten wir uns hier bewusst mit ihr auseinanderzusetzen. Schauen wir uns also […]
International Women´s Day 2026
„If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.“ – Shirley Chisholm This sentence captures the essence of what International Women's Day (and every other day) is all about: women don't wait for spaces to open. They create them. They organize, network, support each other, and build structures in which women become visible, empower themselves, and help shape the future [...]
Constantly Interrupted – Yet Still Productive?
We´ve all been there: You're concentrating on an important task – *DING* * – a new message pops up. Quick read. Back to the task. A colleague comes in: “Hey, can you quickly send me this document?” Sure, you can. And then ... “Where was I?” And before you can even get your thoughts back together, your phone [...]
4 Questions You Should Answer in Every Meeting
We all started the year full of energy. And then suddenly: our calendars are full. Kick-offs. Regular meetings. Project updates. Strategy meetings. And yet sometimes you see this look on people's faces in the room: “What's this all about... and what exactly am I supposed to do now?” How questioning faces in meetings can lead to self-efficacy. This is exactly why we like to use Bernice McCarthy's 4-Mat model. The idea: people process information differently [...]
Understanding Personality – Scientifically Sound & Relevant to Everyday Life
What makes personality truly tangible? A clear theoretical basis. And that's exactly what the LINC Personality Profiler (LPP) provides. At its core, the LPP is consistently based on the internationally recognized Big Five model from personality psychology. The model describes personality along five central, empirically proven dimensions. The LPP goes one step further: It combines the Big Five character traits with motives and [...]
Time To Clean the (Johari) Window
Where are my blind spots? We all have them: behaviors and patterns of behavior that others perceivebut that we ourselves are not aware of. This is exactly where the Johari window according to Luft & Ingham comes in, revealing the differences between self-image and external perception . Four fields – one “aha” moment: Public: What I show of myself – and others [...].
Ikigai – Discovering Your Purpose
In a constantly changing world of work, many people are looking for guidance, for something that goes beyond performance, roles, or goals. Ikigai, the Japanese concept of “a reason for being,” offers a valuable framework for reflection. The model combines four central areas of life and work: What you love What you are good at What the world needs What you can be paid for [...]
CAPTain – Understanding Behavior, Unlocking Potential
We all have an idea of how we act, but how does our behavior actually manifest itself in our everyday work? This is exactly where CAPTain comes in. This scientifically based analysis tool objectively records how people really act, rather than how they would like to see themselves. CAPTain thus provides a precise, work-related profile that helps to deploy strengths in a targeted manner and reveal potential for development. [...]
