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 […]
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. […]

I’ve participated in sessions and activities offered by colleagues and my team since then. However, I admit that I never really integrated mindfulness practices or meditation into my life at home. […]
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 […]
“Find your rhythm” was my motto for the first week of my sabbatical. Rhythm finding has been my wife’s recommendation, who had already started her sabbatical in September 2020. She is a music teacher and knows that “rhythm is how musicians connect and play with one another“, as Alex Lavoie has beautifully phrased it in […]
When my wife and I decided to go on sabbatical three years ago, we were mostly daydreaming about exploring countries on our bucket list, like e.g. Ecuador, Costa Rica, Vietnam, or Sri Lanka. Now, travelling will not be possible for the weeks to come. I’m on tour to re-orient myself. Hence, in corona times, the […]
