I start with “Flow Discovery // Coaching & Co-Creation // Felix Harling” in the world of sidepreneurs – entrepreneurship as a side business. Hence, I create a space for the people who make our world a better place for the next generation – for change-makers of all stripes. My new blog posts will be published […]

After a six month sabbatical, I returned to a transformed learning organization, i.e. without a defined job. I had let go of my original position when I handed over the responsibilities to my sabbatical substitute. These were ideal conditions for a fresh start with much curiosity. “Do What’s Right!” is the new credo for leaders […]

Let it go… I’ll start my sabbatical on January 01, and it’s now time to let go. After 79 full-time quarters, I want to spend a six-month sabbatical sensing the now and exploring the next. My first daughter was born 20 years ago – my younger daughter, two years later. My wife and I decided […]

For most of us, it’s the first time that we have to work for a more extended time from home. I usually work one day per week from my home office. For all of us, it’s the very first time that we have to confront a global pandemic. Everyone faces this new situation differently and […]

My sabbatical has shown me another treasure. There is so much richness in my current network. There are so many people I’ve not taken the time to connect with yet. The more connections I nurture the more synchronicity happens. Synchronicity may be best explained with the following quote: Did you ever observe to whom the […]

“When was the last time that you did something different?” This is one of the questions we asked our participants during our interactive SAP development kick-off Silicon Valley session. “And what did you learn from this experiment?” was the question that helped to reflect on the outcome of doing something different. Plenty of discussions between attendees […]

I recently had the opportunity to present one of my favourite books at a public reading at the library of my home town. My first name “Felix” means “lucky, successful” in Latin. Therefore, I feel somehow committed to act as a happiness ambassador. Hence, I opted to read from “The Art of the Good Life” […]

Wow, I’m still full of energy after the 3-day co-active coaching module with more than 20 fellow coaches. It’s like an energy wave moving and moving. I’ve experienced experiential learning at its best thanks to a team of fully dedicated, supportive, challenging, inspiring, centred, joyful and curious leaders and assistants. We have played multiple roles: […]

I’m an explorer who is looking for motives. I let myself drift. Where does my gaze lead me? Where do light and shadow play? That looks good. How may I compose it? Which feelings will this moment arouse later? What should I change? Simply do. See what will come of it. Take a different perspective. […]

My sabbatical is over. “How was it?”, “What are your insights?”, “What are you doing now?” have been frequently asked questions in the last weeks. My sabbatical is a new element in the landscape of my life. The picture of the Sigiriya Rock illustrates this reality beautifully. It takes a bit of bravery and effort […]

One of the decisions that I’ve taken during my sabbatical is to start a dedicated coaching education. A beautiful way to illustrate this decision is the Frangipani flower that is a symbol for new life and new beginnings. What is coaching? There are thousands of coaches, hundreds of coaching training, and dozens of coaching definitions. […]
