For me, Q2 was all about dialogue, future-oriented topics and exciting projects.

📍 Future Leader Summit, Hamburg

An impressive event with a clear focus on the topics that will shape our future: artificial intelligence and quantum computing.

📍 Labor Law Day of Amadeus FiRe, Hamburg

As always, an event of the highest standard – both in terms of content and the quality of the presentations. I particularly appreciate the opportunity it offers to maintain existing contacts and forge new ones.

 

📍 „Clever prompts for women“ at KITZ, Kiel

For me, this was one of the highlights of the second quarter. Inspiring speakers, a great atmosphere and an ideal group size for experimenting together, asking questions and learning from one another.

This exchange has already given rise to a new idea: together with Sabine Kubisch and Friedericke Kuhn, we are planning two events for 2027 as part of the BPW Club Kiel e.V. programme, which will build on one another and focus on the practical application of AI. I’m really looking forward to it!

 

📍 DiWoKi – my first digital week Kiel

A real highlight. Not only because of the fascinating content, but also because the various venues across the city offered the chance to get to know Kiel from a fresh perspective. The in-depth discussions with the speakers and participants were particularly valuable.

A big thank you to Sonja Wolff, Sven Brencher, Jana Haverbier and Christiane Ladwig for these inspiring encounters.

 

It’s brilliant that DiWoKi exists!♥️

 

 

📍 Personalpodium Flensburg

An interesting event that provided plenty of food for thought – in particular, Dr Ann-Kathrin Barfuß’s talk on the changing world of work left a lasting impression on me.

In addition to all these events, two exciting new projects have also emerged:

✅ Logistic company

• International focus

• Process optimisation and implementation of a new ERP system

• Advising and supporting senior management on all HR-related matters

• with a magnificent view of the River Elbe

 

 

 

✅Research Institute in Hamburg

• Strategic project support and process optimisation

• Supporting senior managers through transformation and change processes

• Working at the cutting edge – right in the heart of Hamburg

That’s why, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it to DisruptHR Hamburg – but I’ll definitely be there again in the autumn.

Now I’m looking forward to the exciting challenges in my projects, more encounters with inspiring people, and the odd dip in the Baltic Sea now and then. 🌊

I wish you all a relaxing summer!

Lots of new and exciting experiences in the first quarter of 2026!

The first quarter of 2026 had plenty of new things in store for me: my assignment at HAW Kiel came to a successful conclusion in February, and I took the time to make new connections, gain fresh insights, and meet with long-time contacts in person.

1. Highlight:
30 January brought a new format for me: DisruptHRHamburg: Disrupting Work. Evolving Leadership! This event is open to people in all roles within organisations. The concept: 7 speakers present their specialist contributions in a maximum of 5 minutes, followed by a panel discussion in small groups and networking. A wealth of input and personal exchange packed into a single morning. Many thanks to Kuehne Logistics University for an inspiring morning!

2. Highlight:
On 12 March, as a guest of the VdU Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein regional association, I had the opportunity to visit Dräger in Lübeck and learn about the measures the HR team at Dräger is implementing to bring more women into leadership roles. I found the low-threshold approach of the mentoring programme particularly noteworthy.

 

 

 

 

 

Over dinner, I had the opportunity to meet many interesting and successful female entrepreneurs. Many thanks to the VdU Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein Regional Association and Dräger for the insights and inspiration!

3. Highlight:
On 18 March, Hays hosted a deep dive into the HR Report 2026 – “Promoting performance; not just demanding it”. Once again, it became clear that managers and processes have a very strong influence on a company’s performance culture.

 

 

 

 

In a nutshell: modern and forward-looking performance measurement must be a combination of traditional tools, such as the Balanced Scorecard, and motivation-focused processes and structures. Thank you very much for the incredibly fascinating deep dive, Hays

4. Highlight:
On 25 March, #ZPN 2026 opened its doors, with the event entirely focused on people and AI. Here, too, there were plenty of new insights on topics such as leadership in the age of AI, mental health in the age of AI, HR software in the age of AI, and more…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And, of course, meeting up in person with people I haven’t seen face-to-face for a long time: Thank you, dear Jassmin, and thank you, dear Katrin, for seeing you again and for the interesting chat!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In April, I’m looking forward to the #FutureLeaderSummit 2026 in Hamburg, the Labour Law Day with Amadeus Fire in Hamburg, the AI workshop at KITZ – the Kiel Innovation and Technology Centre – and, of course, Digital Week Kiel in May!

Who else is coming? I’d love to hear from you and perhaps meet up in person…

Learning through experience with 🐎

That was the motto of the equine-assisted training program held as part of the Interdisciplinary Weeks (IDW) at the University of Applied Sciences (HAW Kiel). A total of 7 students from three departments took advantage of this opportunity to engage intensively with how others perceive them and their own effectiveness in communication situations.

 

The students came from the departments of Business, Health and Social Sciences, as well as Mechanical Engineering and Media/Civil Engineering. A diverse group that embarked on an intensive reflective experience.

I can reveal that this process of self-discovery continues to have an impact.

 

In the cold, sunny October weather ☀️ at Ms. Ruth Kukla’s small, private riding facility in Sören, we spent 1.5 days learning a great deal from one another and through our work with the horses.

This training reminded me once again just how powerful this method is when you really open yourself up to it—and how closely communication and leadership are linked to the constructive use of impulses.

But it also showed me just how often I’ve had to deal with these prompts myself 😅.

Spoiler: October 31 is still a new holiday for me, and I hadn’t realized that so many restaurants would be closed on that very weekend 😮.

Don’t worry: we finally found a pleasant atmosphere and good food at Antik-Hof Bissee.
Many thanks to the participants, Ms. Kukla, and of course a big thank you to Montego, Instatanz, and Rheingold 🐎.

‘I still had a suitcase in Endingen am Kaiserstuhl…’ (based on Marlene Dietrich)

A lot has really changed for me in the last 3 years:

– I moved to Schleswig-Holstein in February 2022

After 3.5 years, I feel completely at home and not only really enjoy the proximity to the Baltic Sea 🐎🌊!

– In January 2025, I accepted a substitute lectureship 🎓 for HR management and soft skills at Kiel University of Applied Sciences

My students and I have successfully completed the first semester and are looking forward to a carefree few weeks until the start of the winter semester on 1 September.

– Until July 2025, I also have a ‘suitcase’ with equipment for my horse-assisted 🐎 training sessions at one of the the most beautiful riding centre Stall Wilhelmshöfe in Endingen am Kaiserstuhl owned by the Johann-Peter Dersch family.

 

 

 

 

With a heavy heart, I have now picked it up to offer my horse-assisted training sessions at a new private riding centre in the future. The first training session for students at Kiel University of Applied Sciences is planned for autumn 2025 as part of the interdisciplinary weeks.

I will of course continue to offer my horse-assisted training sessions to all interested individuals, teams and managers.
