In my very first year at Cambridge, when I had just learned how to row for my college, I went to see the Boat Races. And as the boats lined up for the starting line, I thought to myself, “they must be so nervous, the pressure, all the months of work they put in, andContinue reading “Rowing taught me … strive to be your best – that’s all you can control.”

How likely is it that all women on your team(s) lack the self-confidence needed for the next promotion? I assume your answer is “not very”.

Der/ die andere ist immer noch ein Mensch mit eigenen BedürfnissenContinue reading ““You shoud either have a supportive partner or no partner. There is no third option.””

The other day I received an email from someone higher up in an organization I worked with at the time. This email contained several incorrect assumptions and apparently was very urgent. My feeling when I got this email was actually disappointment – I had expected more of the sender. I had even defended this personContinue reading “Cowards write emails, leaders pick up the phone”

An interesting study by Dell wit some pretty shocking numbers– 56% of respondents said that they do not always have the energy/ motivation to put the digital transformation into action at work– 69% of respondents are worried that they do not have the necessary competencies for a digital transformation– 60% said that corporate culture limits employee-driven innovation–Continue reading “The human factor in the digital transformation – and it looks pretty grim”

🚣 These are the old boathouses of the Cambridge University crews in Ely, where we went pretty much every day for our water training sessions. On the right in blue, the boathouse of the men (2 crews), on the right NOT the boathouse of the women (3 crews – as the women’s club also includedContinue reading “Why do we waste so much time on them vs. us, when we are acutally stronger together?”
