Das hätte ich gerne schon als junge Frau und Führungsperson gewusst: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧. (𝘈𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘵 𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘵) Hast du mal die Übung gemacht, dein Zukunfts-Ich als Führungsperson zu beschreiben? 

This was Michael's and my plan for ass, written on the fridge, to remind us daily of our goal - the perfect butt😉. What do you think happened after writing this down? Exactly - not much 😅 . Maybe the goal was set too high. But wait. Something did happen. Something far better than a perfect butt (nothing's really perfect anyway, is it?).

It is Monday. Feeling like you need some coffee, yet even that is a long way to go? Be kind to yourself. This too shall pass. Stay curious. Who knows, may be this Monday will change your life…

Was tun, wenn Gefühle wie Stress oder Angst unser Wohlbefinden und unsere Leistungsfähigkeit einschränken?

It was Chris Germer who publicly spoke about finding out, that his public speaking anxiety turned out not to be an anxiety disorder. After long years of suffering with nothing that helped to improve, he found out that at the root of the phenomenon it was not anxiety but shame. Working with shame made the symptoms disappear fast and sustainable.

At work and in life, when things get challenging, we sometimes lose our balance. We get angry, disappointed, sad, hopeless and so on. In other words, we lack of equanimity. But what is equanimity and how can we gain it back, once we have lost it?
