"Supporting and shaping change and learning processes is my profession and my calling."
Personal
What made you angry as a child?
Injustice – still drives me up the wall today. When I feel unfairly treated or experience unfairness towards others, it really gets to me. The funny thing is, when my 5-year-old son can’t get his way or is forbidden to do something, a popular reaction is: “That’s unfair!”…
What does your desk normally look like?
I have to admit that although I have a study, I prefer to sit with my laptop in the living room at the large dining table. As a result, I always get exactly the documents I need, spread them out as long as nobody is there and have to put them away reasonably neatly before my children come home. Nevertheless, you can often find little “works of art” in my notes and writing pads if you look closely.
What has been your most impressive trip so far?
A 4-week round trip through Chile, with side trips to Argentina and Bolivia. It is incredible how beautiful and varied this country or these countries are, from the desert to the last still-growing glacier on earth.
What did you want to be when you were a child?
In this order: baker – then I found out that you have to get up very early for that. Then I’d rather be a bank manager (the motivation for this is no longer clear to me), later a circus director – there’s more “action”.
What would you like to learn in no time?
Learning to sail has been a dream of mine for a long time. Until now, I just haven’t had the time – even if that’s the worst excuse you can have…
Which movie once really scared you?
I remember walking out of “Scream” very scared and nervous in my youth. To this day, I can’t stand horror films very well. It’s different with intelligently made, suspenseful thrillers, which I enjoy watching. After that, however, it’s better not to scare me in the dark…
What profession would you like to learn today?
I could imagine being a doctor, but then in a large hospital in the emergency room, operating theater or intensive care unit, where things are really busy. However, it’s obviously a very demanding job where you often have to make existential decisions and bear a lot of responsibility. I would definitely like to have supportive supervision. I also have to admit: I wouldn’t be very motivated to learn the profession, i.e. to study medicine with all the dry memorization.
How did you feel during your first training session?
Positively nervous – well, very nervous. But I still like this tension, it’s a bit like going on stage and I just like being in the “spotlight” for the duration of a training session.
