Growth. After 16 years of being in the business, we have grown in oh so many ways; with our customers, trainers, translators, and participants. And with the challenges we have faced: financial crisis and Covid-19.
It's official, NATIVES is now on the disciplined pursuit of less as we aim for a state of essentialism. Why? Well exploring, eliminating and executing has got to be an alliteration that is full of purpose. It's like we've been looking for something to call our journey. Voilá, we've found it. 2020's word of the year is essentialism. Thank you Greg McKeown.
Sail la vie. On my journey to becoming an official adventurer, I need to overcome the seven seas first. What a fantastic experience, and you're looking at an official RYA day skipper. And of course, you can be there for your customers from anywhere that has an internet connection. I really want to make that point very clear.
Zonta says yes to no, and if there was ever a statement, attitude, position worth communicating time and time again, then this makes it into the top ten.
Unser Stadtmarketing war gestern zu Gast bei uns. Was für eine Geschichte: "Wir geben denen der beweisen kann, dass es Bielefeld nicht gibt, 1 Million Euro." Nicht nur die Idee war super, sondern auch den emotionalen und mitreissenden Vortrag. Bielefeld gibt es, ich weiß es, ich wohne und arbeite hier. Danke an Achim Held, der die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Stadt vor 25 Jahren lenkte.
We have a new sign. It's great when your co-workers are like your colleagues and everything feels like a support system. Best way to work. Here's to another collaborative year up ahead.
Dominic ist Inhaber von Podcastmania, und eine sehr alter Freund von mir. Alt im Sinne von Jahre die wir uns kennen. Unglaublich wie die Zeit vergeht. Gestern trafen wir uns in Berlin. Nice lunch with sooooo much talking.
Form follows function, yes! At a Hays HR BC in Berlin today w/ Meike Leue, die wahrhaftig versteht was es bedeutet zu begeistern! Großartig und vielen Dank!
Christmas market time. Again. This time with the ZONTA Club of Bielefeld. We were all game, and so were the sausages. Yum. It's all for a good cause, and if it tastes good, then two reasons to go for the wurst.
When Kochstudio Pöschel is in the house, food love is in the air. This time he did the cooking, and I did the schlepping of drinks and empty plates.
What happens when you send Jessica to Wales to sleep in a tent, swim in the Irish Sea and auction off dinner in New York with Tina Roth-Eisenberg? Well, she sleeps in the tent, swims in the Irish Sea and flies to New York to have dinner. About last night. Raclette in the middle of Brooklyn, and so much laughing. Leave the impossible to others.
Well, if this hasn't been on my bucket list for a while, then I'm the Queen of England. How grateful am I for being able to attend Creative Mornings, and then in New York of all places? Esther Perel, you certainly know how to string those sentences together, and Tina Roth-Eisenberg, see you at dinner!
When Dave is in town, it's always fun. Here he is visiting me at our ZONTA event yesterday. Here's to men empowering women. And here's to saying yes to no whenever you want and need to.
Für Macher und Tuer, und die, die es werden wollen. War heute beim MotionLab Berlin zu Besuch. Alles geht, nur Pillepalle nicht, steht auf ein Meetingraum (ein Doppeldecker-Bus...).
500 new trees have found a home in the forest close to home. Johanne and I got wet and dirty planting 19 trees. I hope we get to see them grow tall and strong. Thank you Klima-Woche Bielefeld for getting us involved.
Co- für co-creation, co-working, co-education & co-action. Bin beim InfraLab im EUREF Campus Berlin: Zukunftsort, Reallabor & Denkfabrik. Komme wieder!
Das war Toolfest 2019: I M M E R S I V E. Fragen unserer Zeit: Wohin geht Neue Arbeit? Welche Werte sind wirklich wichtig? Wieso Stories statt Mission/Vision? Was wäre, wenn wir die Welt mit weit bunteren Linsen betrachten würden? Wieso nicht unsere Kunden zu HeldInnen machen? Danke, @toolfestberlin! Bild: Abdurahman Hale, ToolFest
There's nothing plain about these squares. Thank you to Susanne Ferrari for a great workshop.
Stop watching the time. It will never slow down, and you cannot make it pass any faster. Time has a mind of its time. Enjoy it for it is definitely limited.
We made our own jewelry with Sarah Drew in Penzance. We used the things she fished from the sea. As a statement. It would be better to do without this lovely chain if it meant no plastic in the seas and oceans. Or puddles for that matter.
We *heart* @Berlin_CM. A place to meet old friends. A space for “unique snowflakes”. Jeanette w/ Sven @spielfeld
My first Hi_mat podcast interview with two people and a dog! So much fun. Our tablekicker is definitely a pull-factor. TEAMSCHLÜTER's Ralph and Rita strive to make us all very wetterfest.
Two more very interesting Hi_mat podcast episodes were recorded today. I'm really enjoying this. We hope the listeners are, too. Every Friday we upload a new episode.
Interrogare zu Gast bei NATIVES im Rahmen einer Marketing-Club OWL Bielefeld Veranstaltung. 75 guests either sat, stood or tried a bit of both.
Dirk Blum von talentbee würde heute auch befragt. Spannend. Olderdissen zieht ihn immer wieder nach Bielefeld.
Life is like a toolbox: you never know what you're going find in there. We like to rummage around in toolboxes, and be surprised by what we find. The things we find inspire us to design our thoughts. Thanks to Brevi Manu for this beautiful box.
Another day, another dollar. And my favourite coffee from the Berliner Kaffeerösterei.
Tree time. Why fell a tree when you have wood standing around?
Flattish fold von Lars Fuhrmann zeigt sich als wahrer Held.
Ulrich Bölles stellt in Hygge.zwei aus. Wir freuen uns Bielefelder Motive ganz nah zu haben.
Mr Bean and the J's. He's perfect: tall, handsome and quiet.

Cheese!
Thanks to Klaus Wohlmann, we now have new photos for the website. Soon to be uploaded for viewing pleasure.
Flattish fold bar tables
These compact, easy to carry and very flexible bar tables are great for workshops, events and when you're fed up of sitting. Thank you Lars Führmann & partikel.
