Think with creativity. Learn across borders. Grow as a person.
Leading growth begins where we have the courage to question familiar ways of thinking. Openness to international perspectives and creativity spark new impulses and create meaningful resonance.
In my case, it was the close exchange and collaboration with British colleagues that laid the groundwork for fresh perspectives and genuine growth.wth starts with the courage to think differently. Creativity and internationality can spark ideas and create meaningful resonance.

Leading Growth in Times shaped by the Soundtrack of Disruption
A quick glance at the daily news is all it takes to realise: we are living through an age of dramatic upheaval. What once felt like an exception has become business as usual. Disruption is the new normal. Everything is being turned on its head – technologies are outpacing themselves, political orders are wobbling, and the climate is all over the place.
Change is no longer linear – it moves exponentially, chaotically, and in deeply interconnected ways. And it doesn’t just affect markets or technologies, but also values, worldviews, and individual life paths. Disruption brings uncertainty – yes – but also fresh possibilities. It alters our sense of time. Our attention spans shrink, and one question keeps lingering: What comes next?
Disruption has become the soundtrack of our time.
But what does this soundtrack stir in us?
Are we actively composing it – or merely dancing to a beat we no longer control?
Leading growth today means more than keeping up – it means shaping the rhythm, not just following it.

Leading Growth Beyond Control – Sparking Creative and International Expansion
Anyone who has gained international experience knows: the most exciting developments often start in moments of discomfort – when we let go of control, even briefly. When we don’t fully understand something – but choose to listen anyway.
Genuine international connection emerges when we open ourselves to other cultures, perspectives, and ways of thinking – especially when they challenge us. It is precisely in that friction where the potential for new insights lies. And from these encounters, both personal and collective growth can take root.
Creativity acts as a catalyst in this process. It can transform confusion into curiosity, fear into a spirit of exploration, and paralysis into movement.
To shape something new is an act of agency – and the seed from which growth begins to flourish.

In the Shared Stories, this creativity unfolds in a playful international dialogue between Germany and the UK.
Always with humour – sometimes satirical, sometimes unexpected – but always grounded in real experiences and genuine connections.
And let’s be honest: isn’t laughing together about our differences the most beautiful bridge of all?
