Goodbye 2025, Hello Reflection

Inspiration for Training Your Own Thinking As another year comes to an end, many of us feel the urge to plan, improve, or reinvent ourselves. But what if this year, instead of creating another long list of New Years’s resolutions, we trained something far more powerful this time – our own way of thinking?We live in an age that is obsessed with efficiency and quick transformation. There’s a course, hack, or life trick for almost everything. Yet true growth rarely happ

What The Fake?

I recently saw an interview with Warren Buffett. The billionaire commented on economic developments. Exciting. I shared the video. A friend who knows his way around the financial world replied: "That's fake. Buffett doesn't give such detailed interviews." He was right. Wow! This episode reveals a contemporary problem: fake news, which is not new. But the perfection with which it is produced today is new. Deepfakes, AI-generated content – the line between truth and fiction is blurring. Everyone needs to deal with it. Especially in business.<p style="margin-left:0

Rhetoric in Times of Change

Rhetoric in turbulent times Anyone who follows the news today fluctuates between astonishment and concern. We are witnessing a change in public communication: rhetoric has become more restrained.

AI in recruiting: buzz or benefit?

What we know before the BIG BANG Festival - and what we want to clarify The world of recruiting never stands still - and certainly not when it comes to the use of AI. Tools for automated candidate searches, matching algorithms, interview analysis via video AI or chatbots in applicant dialog: The list of new possibilities is getting longer and more complex. But with all this progress, the same question arises again and again: which of these are really helpful in everyday life?<p

Summer. Clarity. A new start.

In my job, I accompany people at turning points - often just before or in the middle of a significant career change. And I notice: The really ground-breaking decisions are rarely made under time pressure. They are made in between - in moments of calm, reflection and conscious distance from everyday life. The summer months in particular are often such a space. The blank page: why new perspectives are emerging right now <p style="margin-left:0

Why Good Advice Is Expensive

It’s always the right moment to reflect on fee structures. The question of appropriate consultancy fees often leads a shadowy existence – rarely addressed openly, even less frequently thought through strategically. Yet the quieter summer months offer an ideal opportunity to reflect on a fundamental business reality: Why do consulting services cost what they do? And why is this pricing not only justified but economically essential? <p style="
