Hand on heart: if everything remained as it is, we would have no progress, our life expectancy would be half as high and our world would only consist of what we can see for ourselves from the back of a horse.

Role models that have been practiced over many decades are changing – at work as well as in families, between partners and between parents and children. The manager who appears to be infallible and invulnerable is a role model from a time when the boss was still recognizable by the big company car, the corner office and the anteroom with four ladies.

In our current world, leadership requires more humanity and empathy. Today’s managers need new skills to fulfill their tasks and lead their team to success. In our coaching work, we try to give managers an expanded awareness and understanding of their own personality. This develops a heightened level of sensitivity and compassion that enables a deeper connection to oneself and others.

TED Talks and TEDx Talks place the highest demands on the rhetorical skills of the presenters. It’s a wonderful series of events with lots of really inspiring talks.

There are people who may find it a little easier to talk in front of others; some, on the other hand, are more introverted. But all of them can be great speakers and give perfect presentations – if they prepare properly and know what is important.

Steve Jobs from Apple is a good example: he was an introverted and difficult personality (at least that’s how his biographers describe him), certainly not a born speaker and certainly not someone you would have immediately described as likeable.

But he gave a great presentation!

Have you ever noticed that many companies have a name consisting of three letters? I’m sure you can think of a lot right away: BMW, SAP, DHL, UPS, IBM, ZDF, ARD, etc.
