Sharing, giving & receiving

FelixComments Off on Sharing, giving & receiving

Today’s calendar had just one meeting: the final alignment with Michael Lang, who will take over SAP Development Learning on January 1st. It feels good to hand over the team in excellent hands. 😀

I started to create greeting cards with my best pictures and texts re-mixed from insightful quotes in 2020. My family’s image in the Swabian Jura close to Stuttgart at a beautiful summer evening embodies what gave me energy in 2020. 🌞

I sent it to my dear friends, esteemed colleagues, and respected companions as part of my season’s greetings three weeks ago.

I’m amazed that over 80 🏄🏽‍♂️ of them have openly answered the four questions included in it:

  1. Please share 1-2 activities that you have done the first time and enjoyed in 2020.
  2. What is one need from your daily life that is looking for a better solution in 2021?
  3. How would you describe me with three hashtags?
  4. What is one strength that I should apply more in future?

Thank you so much for your input for my sabbatical’s activities! I’ve not imagined what a great pleasure it would be to read all the stories, some of them touched me deeply. ☺️

And once you let go and sense the now, the next finds you – just three recent examples, special thank 🙏🏽 goes to:

  • Ingo Rauth who invited me to an insightful 7-day “Your Story 2020” reflection journey
  • Ingo Hamm for offering me a copy of his new book “True Leadership” which is all about leadership in extreme situations
  • Jochen Gürtler for giving me the 21-day “Redesign You” workbook as a present to start my sabbatical

As promised in my season’s message, I’ll donate five euro for each answer I received. Eventually, I went beyond and decided to donate 120 Euro 💰 for each of the following non-profit organisations:

You change the world by sharing kindness and connecting deeply with people around you!

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 […]
