Embrace Change
The lecture focuses on two levels:
The individual employee's attitude toward change. Here, we work with comfort zones, particularly why and when people become so focused on peace of mind and...
Improve Internal Cooperation
Many companies want to see more cross-functional cooperation. For years we have been talking about breaking down silos. The solution is not breaking them down but rather cooperating better across silos and professional boundaries.
It is more important to change attitude toward other silos than to restructure and design new organizational structures, KPI structures, etc. It is important to understand that the transition from working individually (in a department) to working with...

From IQ to EQ
We used to believe that high IQ, by definition, results in a successful career and that companies consistently focus on hiring the smartest people with the highest grades. That is not necessarily how it is today because the focus on high IQ is now shifting to EQ, or emotional intelligence. EQ represents a person's combined ability and motivation to understand other people and the ability to be part of relationships. Companies are increasingly looking for employees with emphatic abilities,...
Become a Strategic Networker
Back in 2001, nobody was talking about networking. Soulaima Gourani shares her impressive knowledge on networking based on her ten years of experience, together with the latest research on professional relationships. Nowadays, businesspeople either talk a lot about relationships and networking-although many people are of the opinion that they don't know how to do networking-or don't want to. Many believe that networking borders on being unethical and cynical, but networking is actually all...

Thank you for the rich input for all of us on both personal and professional levels. You have a fantastic ability to communicate your messages in a very concrete and emphatic way that really makes them useful. Personally, I found that it was a good reminder about values that often get lost in the world of KPIs, forecasts, etc.
