- Some history
I started my learning experience in Germany in 1965. Since then I have grown a little :-) I studied economics and philosophy as a Learning advanture at Witten/Herdecke University and was one of their first students (among many remarkable persons who studied there was Otto Scharmer). Since then DNA of constant exploration has been set.
Soon after studies I joined the EU administration and live in Brussels. I strongly resonate with Jean Monnet and his leadership as political adventurer and pacifist, and have been revitalising these foundations in the EU's ways of working. After failing to transform the way the budgeting and resource allocation in the European Commission worked, I discovered the value of the consultant role in facilitating change rather than running your head against the wall. However, who really guided my path to the human side of life was my youngest daughter Helena. She surprised my wife Claudia and me coming with a Down Syndrom. We are blessed by her simplicity and focus on what matters in her and our hearts. Today I discover myself more and more as a healer in organisations, integrating and establishing connections between people and the processes that are their life and work. I keep my Xing profile very much up to date.

Find here some themes and practices I am involved with:
Management and leadership development programmes. Inside the European Commission and internationally, I link emerging practical issues to learning events and opportunities. As an example of a typical design have a look at the Programme for Innovation in Public Service I initiated with the European Foundation for Management Development.
I am now calling a community of practicioners together to build the full set of programmes that accompany change agents to the level of effectiveness their public purpose requires them to have.
Linking and social change agents into community.
I have co-founded the association Pro Action Europe. We are for people who enhance their individual and collective effectiveness. We have found a way to inviting people to share their issues or projects and get direct support in very small group discussions. At the same time, the overall group is present and co-creates insights and solutions. We have run these Pro Action cafés in Brussels, and now start them with friends in other cities. Please connect with me on this. A pro action group is on XING ... and soon on Nexus !!
e-connecting people by their dreams
When reengineering the recruitment process, I found a way to rapidly and intuitively connect people or people to jobs over the internet. The basic concept: You share some of your lived or desired successes and we match them with the success desired from yor future employer. Easy, isn't it?
Interdevelopmental work with adult clients
I have found cutting edge insights that link the mental develoment of adults with the process of helping and consulting in exchanging with Otto Laske from the Interdevelopmental Institute and currently translate his book on enhanced process consulting into German. I regularly lead interactive seminars in small learning group sessions in Brussels, and maybe with you in your city. You find more on the practice of developing yourselves and others in Europe here.
Schools that build on diverse talents and enhance learning. You are a professional that could help teachers or school directors to master diversity and enlarge the scope of learning offers? You are a school leader that burns for energy make your school a great place for learning? You are a teacher committed to grow the special talents of each of your pupils, and you appreciate opening up and learning for yourself? Then we must talk. For me, it was my daughter with her special gift. She came with her Down's syndrome. She is special in many ways. One thing she taught me is that learning is possible for everybody, but that our way of teaching may need some adjustments. This was a call for me to engage for quality and leadership in schools. On this I am chairing a non-profit association Europe's children - our concern. You may check our new site and we might explore how to make your vision become reality at school.
Consulting as a professional practice. I have been constantly working to learn and improve my ways of being a helpful professional. Thus, I have been asked to share this with business students at Rotterdam Business School, where I teach an introduction into process consulting, based on Peter Block's "Flawless Consulting".

- Your excitement
- We sat in a small conversation circle. We focused our attention on the source of our (collective) wisdom and put a small sculpture on the table in our middle. We connected physically with the spot the sculpture held. Our mind was quiet and focused. "It" in the middle hosted the conversation and our attention that flowed from person to person with silence in between. At the end one of us stepped into the spot of the wisdom sculpture. A sentence went through her mind: "Wisdom is love."
- Burning Questions/Inquiries
- How do we develop a community of leaders with public purpose that are effective in the complex conditions of our times? How can our hosting practice be a model for the service that effective leaders are required to deliver today? What is effective leadership anyway?
