Building the more beautiful world our hearts know:
with connected + committed teams.
Practitioner of radical responsibility and the art of conscious co-creating.
You find me in Germany, Bielefeld + Berlin — or travelling — or online. I am fluent in English and German, and in the language of the heart.
In 2003, my world changed when I discovered Open Space Technology. A door was opened to a world where freedom, integrity and togetherness are possible!
I also met Thomas Herrmann, my dear collaborator in this project; and Chris Weaver, originator of the 5toFold decision-making process.
In the years since, we’ve deeply explored 5toFold and all the ways it can serve. I’ve facilitated, participated in and taught 5toFold decision-making processes in the context of teams, non-profit organisations and business companies.
My respect for this process has only ever grown.
Properly done 5toFold processes have integrity. If used by people who truly care — about their project and about each other — 5toFold helps to unleash the enormous potential within heart-centred humans.
Over time, my vision grew, for the contribution that 5toFold can be to humanity. Hence this website; co-created by a team of inspired, caring and highly skilled collaborators.
What if… working together was joyful?
Joy is a core value of mine, and I bring it into everything I do. 2009, when I realized that “joy” to me is like the air I need to breath, I was inspired to name my company:
Without having access to joy regularly, I would die. From the inside out. Which I see happening everywhere in today’s world:
Individuals, teams, organisations… are slowing dying… from the inside…
But there is another way:
Let’s co-create the more beautiful world
our hearts know is possible!
Joy
Isn’t that…
Childish?
Reserved for our hobbies?
An exceptional feeling, but nothing to aim for regularly?
The book “Joy Inc – How we created a workplace people love” by Richard Sheridan gives a definition of joy that matches my perspective:
Through play and professionalism, depth, caring and laughter, proven processes and courageously stepping into the unknown.
If you are you up for a conversation about joy@work, I would like to get to know you!
