according to a quote (unknown source). And it releases potentials, says Christine Berges. A smile gives courage, confidence, and the feeling of connectedness. With a smile we conjure up the closeness to each other that we lack and are in dire need during these times. And remember: The smile you send out returns to you…
It is the nature of potentials that they are not obvious and recognizable at first glance. “The essential is invisible to the eyes”, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry had the little prince say. And we know: there is truth in that. Only empathy and a pronounced sensitivity open our eyes to what is initially still hidden. Power…
Just as a small spark can ignite a big fire, a small potential spark can make us grow beyond ourselves. But to ignite potentials requires courage. Because once the hidden potential has been set alight, it cannot be taken back and goes its own unforeseeable ways. It may get hot from time to time. For…
“Beaten tracks are the safest, but there is a lot of traffic”, says Jeff Taylor, author and journalist.

The forthcoming x-mas season offers the ideal opportunity to practice the method of detaching. Detaching from urgent challenges in the job and in your daily life can help you get a better overview. Giving new impressions time to sink in can make your thoughts break new ground. And from a distance, without the immediate need…

Good success, however, is based on the limitation to the essential – to the few encores that ultimately make the difference. Sovereign…
my grandmother used to say when it came to solving difficult tasks or making better progress. And indeed, people in solidarity learn and develop better.
