We are ALL going to die…
… eventually. Apologies for the rather dramatic headline, especially in the current situation. I promise, this is not a cheap attempt of attention seeking. At least not from me. And I am very well aware that there are people that did not and will not survive this virus, which is very sad and nothing to joke about. Period! What I…

“I am sorry” – are you really?
If you have read some of my posts already, you will know accountability and integrity are very important to me. In fact combined they are my top 1 value, followed by care as my top 2. I honestly believe accountability and ownership make a huge difference in our personal and most importantly in our professional life and success. However they…

Rockstar or Superstar?
I did not spend too much time watching the Grammy’s (I did not watch them at all to be honest). I also did not watch the Golden Globes really so that isn’t it either. Why would I then want to talk about Stars and Rock- and Superstars of all things? Why ask “Rockstar or Superstar” at all? It’s because we…

Does that sound familiar? Have you ever been in a really bad mood that seemed to last forever? And by the time it was finally over, you did not even really remember the reason anymore? Or at least did not make an effort to find out? I have been there and done that. Probably more times than I care to…

Dear friend, from diagnosis to your last hours you embraced your situation and fought your fight with your head held high. Words can’t descibe…

Integrity is doing the right thing, even if no one is looking. Genuinely caring is usually the condition for integrity to happen in work life. Dare to care?

Hey, Stranger!
People that know me and work closely with me or are acquaintances or even friends will quickly agree that I am an extrovert. An outgoing person, definitely a little chatty at times. Being asked if I’d like to entertain a room, speak publicly etc. they would probably not hesitate and say “yes, definitely”. They would be somewhat right… And if…

Wroooong!
For those of us having the pleasure of currently living in the US did you also just hear that with a certain annoying voice? ? Before I dive into today’s blog post I would like to acknowledge that I have been a little bit of a stranger here lately. Business travel is half the truth Unexpected accidents and sickness did…

Hey, have you met…yourself?
“When I discover who I am, I’ll be free.” Ralph Ellison I promised to talk about feedback some more. And I will. Especially about what I learned about the value of feedback, how to deal with different types of feedback and what to do when you have a face that usually tells it all…spoiler alert: don’t aim for a career…
