More clarity for your leadership journey
Understanding inner diversity
Our inner diversity is normal – it reflects our values, experiences and needs.
Clarity creates presence
This creates inner clarity, which manifests itself in an authentic and confident demeanor.
Self-leadership through inner clarity
Leadership begins with self-leadership: if you know your “inner team”, you can decide more consciously which voice speaks in which situation and who is particularly loud or quiet when.
Use tension instead of avoiding it
Especially in conflicts or complex situations, the model helps to use internal contradictions constructively.
Does a manager have to be extraverted?
John C. Maxwell
Leadership is a journey, not a destination.
stick with it
Sean Young PhD
What does authenticity actually mean?
“Be yourself”
But: who is this self? We all have different facets – depending on our roles, situations and experiences. Leadership often means growing beyond ourselves. How are we supposed to stay true to a future self that is only just developing?
“Say what you feel”
Honesty is important – but total openness can be out of place in leadership. New managers who reveal everything run the risk of losing credibility before trust has been established.
“Make decisions based on your values”
A strong inner compass is valuable – but if our values come from previous contexts, they can lead us astray in new leadership roles. Example: An authentic adherence to micromanagement may seem familiar, but can be counterproductive in more complex roles.

our best practices in change management
Listen first, then act
Active listening is the starting point for any change. Only those who recognize problems and take direct action within their own sphere of influence create trust and a sustainable basis for change.our best practices in change management
Involve all levels
Change can only succeed together – from top management to operational level. Middle management in particular is a crucial connecting element.
Making measures tangible and achieving quick wins
Solutions should be quickly tangible. Quick wins increase motivation and show that change works.
Maintaining a holistic view
External consulting creates distance and allows you to see the big picture. This makes it possible to identify key areas of activity, avoid blind spots and strengthen the strategic focus in a targeted manner.
Consistently manage and monitor implementation
Change needs structure: progress must be measured and measures monitored. A strong governance model ensures a sustainable impact.
