Hi there, Do you have projects or goals that you keep putting off? Maybe it’s preparing for a marathon, finding a new job, or—like me—writing a book? Let me share a personal story. Twice, I’ve started writing a book and twice, I’ve stalled. But now, I’m on my third attempt, and this time, I’m fully committed to finishing it. So, I’m making a declaration: I’m working on a book for leaders about transforming disengaged, alienated teams into high-performing units. I’m excited to share that every other week, I’ll be updating you on my progress and offering some sneak peeks and tips from my upcoming book. Here’s a glimpse of what’s coming:

And no, just closing your laptop is often not enough. A short introduction I’m Verena. I spent over 16 years in events, startups and people management before I trained as a somatic coach. I know the pleasure and the pressure of that world. Now I help high-functioning people, many of them in leadership...
Hi Reader, When a team member comes to you and says, “I’m not doing well right now,” what do you do? Most managers who want to help suggest a vacation or give them easier work. To the manager, that’s care. To the team member, it says: I told you the truth, and you stopped trusting me with the work. This is one of the most common mistakes leaders make around mental health at work. It comes from good intentions, and it still does damage. The ACT model: responding when someone says they’re...
Hi Reader, When your role is changing, you cannot just push through. But a lot of managers are telling their teams that it will get better; just keep going.
