About myself

 

DAYS LIKE THESE…

 

  • The day I expected praise for my Faust essay, I got a "4-".

  • The day I wanted to talk to my instructor about jobs in the bank, he advised me to quit.

  • The day I got an offer from a radio station, the university invited me to an interview.

  • The day I sat in the interview for the university, the World Trade Center had just collapsed.

  • The day I was awarded fifth place in my class, I had already been out of my first job for five days.

  • The day I wanted to apply for a sabbatical, I decided to become self-employed.

  • The day everything was completely normal at work, the pregnancy test was positive.

 

There were often days when I had to be clear about what I can do, who I am, and what my contribution to the world should look like. Days when changes were disruptive and real game changers, long before AI & Co.

Accepting these changes, enduring them, finding opportunities, and discovering one's own position - these exercises have occupied me, accompanied me, challenged me, and ultimately led me to my profession:

Accompanying people and organizations in times of serious change.
