The Art of Hosting / Facilitation
How can you listen deeper to the hidden intelligence of humans?
Read more
I serve you with process facilitation, the Art of Hosting (AoH), in small to big groups (150+) to enable new communication patterns and offer a safe space to re-build trust and find new strength in a common vision. Accelerating through slowing down, mindfulness and deep listening are ingredients that people can use to self-organize what they are enthusiastic about – for the benefit of the organisation and their own wellbeing. How can citizen engagement be a game changer in politics, regional development and peace building? A public participation process with facilitated dialogues can ease the understanding and commitment for controversial public infrastructure projects (like flood control measures, national park etc.). Engaging citizens in socio-political topics like climate change, interreligious dialogue or democracy enables them to become active and responsible community members.
Organizational Development
How can you use Participatory Leadership to discover new possibilities beyond traditional organisational structures?
Read more
Whatever challenging questions you have to deal with – digitalisation, artificial intelligence (AI), innovation, corporate social responsibility (CRS), restructuring etc. – I invite you to explore looking beyond traditional patterns, taking on a systemic view and using the dormant potential of human capital in the private sector, government, international institutions and non-profit organisations. For example, one of the latest organisational trends, Participatory Leadership enables you to share managerial functions by calling in the experience and wisdom of co-workers for complex issues. One of the guiding questions could be: How will tomorrow’s leaders become good hosts for an enabling organisational culture?
Capacity building / Training
How can you accelerate learning with experiential on-the-job training?
Read more
I provide trainings and workshops on topics such as Project Cycle Management (PCM), Finance management or Donor regulations (ECHO, EuropeAid, ADA) while using an individualised approach based on the principles of the Art of Hosting (AoH). This allows first hand, practical and applicable experiences and learning for all participants. The trainings are tailored according to your purpose and will help staff/team members or partners apply it easily in their respective teams, departments or organisations. The use of AoH enables participants not only to acquire new skills and knowledge but also to reflect on the process and communication within the training and beyond. Team building, awareness of diversity, mindfulness practice for working environment or related life skills will be part of the training if required.
Project Management
How can you co-create sustainable economic, social and ecological solutions with multiple stakeholders?
Read more
Starting a project needs good planning and bringing the right people into the room – from science, industry, government, NGOs to grass root organisations. Whatever your task is, be it proposal development or the organization of an interdisciplinary congress, with my support you can explore participatory and inclusive approaches to incorporate views of all stakeholders for long term impact. Using the Social Laboratory format or the Agile Project Management will keep you and tackle technical and ecological challenges along the way. Moderated short feedback loops will allow internally for quick adjustments and learning in the team, and externally adapting to changing demands and cooperation.

How I work
Humans are at the centre of my work. A strong participatory approach is foundational for “What I offer”.
At the beginning of each consultancy I sit together with you to uncover the deeper purpose of your request. Based on that, I will work closely with you and other stakeholders to co-create the appropriate process, design flow and setting for your task. Format settings can range from a simple meeting, to workshop, teambuilding, social laboratory, learning journeys, conference, congress, symposium, public participation, etc. Once this has been clarified I will select suitable facilitation methods and tools.
I believe how we interact with each other is more important than the tools we use for our communication. In my professional and personal life, I am motivated by following values and principles:
Values
- Being present
- Hosting safe spaces with trust and confidentiality
- Listen and sense with an open heart and mind
- Slow down to see beyond words and figures
- Curiosity to explore fresh paths
- Meet all at eye-level with respect and dignity
- Inclusion that enables diversity to thrive
- Provocative and inspiring to serve the purpose
Principles
- Systemic view and interdependence
- Social, ecological and economic sustainability
- Guided by deeper purpose and vision
- Let self-organisation unfold
- Collective wisdom by collaborative learning and co-creation
- Every process has its own rhythms
- Participatory leadership
- Communities of Practice
- Have fun!

I aspire positive change and constantly search for innovative ways to achieve necessary adjustments. My aim is to enable reflection and transformation at personal, organisational, and systemic level to live and use the collective wisdom of humans.
