JOY OF DEPTH AND ALIVENESS
as a compass for my journey in the Anthropocene
What a miracle to be alive!
How could I best introduce myself to someone who doesn't know me yet – especially in the digital realm?...
I move fluidly between such different activities, facets, and roles...
Perhaps it is the questions that define me, and not so much the answers or forms that I believe I have found in the meantime...
Because amidst all the changes in the "outer" world, I always come back to some central questions:
Who or what am I really?
What do I consider important, and why?
What am I afraid of, and what do I learn from it?
What does it mean to live my deeper nature honestly?
If you care about the well-being of the world and are willing to honestly explore yourself,
Then I might be the right person to accompany or support you on your journey.
MY PERSPECTIVE IS
to attach to no perspective.
Clarity can only rise in ambiguity.
New possibilities emerge in letting go.
I'm an expert refusing to provide answers.
Gladly I am your container, not your therapist.
Diverging perspectives make sense simultaneously.
I'm a dreamer allowing you to find your own vision.
I'm a leader not claiming to know the right way .
I invite you into my Complexity Compass -
a space in compassionate community
around relational transformation
for you to find your own path
IN THE ANTHROPOCENE.
Could we be a good fit for a collaboration?
Every collaboration is different. And yet, over the years I have found that certain attitudes and ideas can make a collaboration particularly fruitful, while other (unspoken) expectations tend to lead to a less than ideal collaboration for both sides.
The following thoughts are therefore intended as an invitation to explore whether our ways of working are a good fit.
Our collaboration could be a good fit if...
-
You feel that there could be "more music" or "more life" in your own role.
-
You fundamentally have (or want to have) trust in the people you are responsible for leading.
-
You see great potential in a project, but don't know how this can be realized.
-
You are willing to take time for what is essential and to pause from time to time.
-
For you, professionalism is not a contradiction to joy, ease, and genuine human connection.
We probably are not a good match if…
-
You already know exactly what you want and are primarily looking for a "service provider" who will implement your ideas.
-
For you, achieving a predetermined goal is more important than the quality of the relationships and the process.
-
You prefer a "good show" or quick answers to substantial reflection.
-
For you, public visibility and outreach are more important than sustainable impact.
-
You expect me to take on responsibilities that actually lie with yourself.
Typical contexts of my work

-
international processes in the context of the UN climate negotiations
-
transdisciplinary projects at the interface of science, politics and economics
-
Dialogue and workshop formats with decision-makers in different contexts
