AI – and Key Roles — Give concrete examples of what values AI will demand as we rapidly approach a “one-third society,” where a small elite holds power, while the rest either grow up or approach the end of their lives.
Decision Color — Describe your own natural decision-tree position, under stress. Real leadership starts with self-awareness. Ask yourself when you most experience yourself as a Quick decision maker or as a Thorough and consensus oriented decision maker.
Decision Axes — Shows “when the sun shines, it cast shadow” – which means that your greatest strengths and your most vulnerable traits are two sides of the same axe. Both are part of who you are, shaped by genetic and temperamental factors that we can describe—but not change.
Warrior or Helper? — Is the narrative about your Decision Functional, when you must make a difficult and “dangerous” decision. Who do you feel you are most in this situation?
The Mountain Hike — The well-known SGL model to visualize the internal and external process of all organizational changes, with regard to language, time and mental challenges.
Bullying and alienation — Let you identify and describe exclusion between colleagues, and become aware of symptoms and danger signals that can cause “burning out” in oneself and others.

Without anchoring, everything falls.

Job Phases — Why job phases from junior to sponsor favour the outward journey, while the pressures of the future will require new self-awareness for the inward journey.

Vision & Ideas — Shows steps to explore our hidden potensial – and how new quality levels require new management language and new methodology.
GroupCoaching — Needs seven core principles to avoid that the loudest voice wins and the quietest withdraws – then something else becomes possible.

Ego & Thou — The narrative of how the “meeting” between your own EGO and another’s THOU creates renewal and acceptance.
The Lifesircle — Will show the connection between change and resistance, and why a Total Quality Management (TQM) will require continuous self-development.
