💬 "𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆!" - Bam! That was just one of the powerful quotes from yesterday's BERlean IN Circle event on 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. I still cannot find the right words to capture the magic of the evening and the incredible quartet on stage! Let me at least summarize my learnings from our amazing speakers: 🔸 Ebony Simone Morczinek, CFO at Blacklane "Everything in life starts with a thought. Our thoughts create this reality. So please envision your future. And think big in numbers." For Ebony, it’s 10 million. Her presence transforms every room into a cathedral. She embodies what it means to deserve space and be confident. Her biggest advice still gives me goosebumps: "Know your trauma before you enter a negotiation!" 🔸 Dr. Martina Pesic, Negotiation Expert This woman is obsessed with negotiations. She wrote her diploma and PhD on negotiation. You can even book her for "shadow negotiation." Her key advice: Be prepared and know your tactics. She empowered us women (and male allies) in the room: Don’t introduce numbers too early before you’ve sold your value. A number is like an anchor—the first number sticks. 🔸 Stefanie Voss, Leadership Coach She is truly an adventurer; Stefanie sailed around the world! Her claim is: be a pirate, not a princess when entering negotiations! Pirates have one core superpower: Audacity! It’s the conscious decision to move beyond fear ("I don’t dare to..."), shame ("What will people think..."), conventions ("The status quo..."), and rules ("This is how it is done"). I loved how she provided concrete examples of how to train your audacity with tiny habits. For example, walk up to a policewoman and thank her for keeping us safe during the European soccer cup. 🔸 Coco Decrouppé, Leadership Coach 🥅⚽️👩‍🏫 Coco is from Austria, and she chose to spend time with us rather than watch the Austrian soccer team win last night! What a coach! She introduced us to her 'The Soccer Field Model©️,' a tool she developed to understand the driving forces in negotiations. What I will never forget: Negotiation starts with Level 1: focus on myself! If I don’t care for my emotions, I won’t set clear boundaries. Kudos to our moderator 🎤Antje Venjakob, who orchestrated the evening with such a lovely flow! A huge thank you to Blacklane and in particular Brenda Omari & Abigail Pfeiffer for hosting this event. It was great for many women to connect with Cindy Rubbens CHRO of Blacklane, too! Team Power: Thanks to Agata Gaertner & Julia Teubert (she/her) for being enablers in organizing the Lean In events! 🎉

6+1 months in: first learnings being at willhaben..and what a ride! The time flies and I have caught myself working at Willhaben for nearly 7 months. Some reflections and personal learnings: → willhaben: this company has so much to offer, both to its users and clients. Even though the business is well established, teams are always looking for more opportunities to do something new: being this an innovative data-driven approach with the #CleanRoom with IKEA or a new business direction for people who want to find the best mortgage option. And so much more in the making! → #Leadership: joining a new senior team who has been in business for years as their Lead is not an easy task, however I see it as an opportunity for both sides: we can all learn, see things from different angles and, most importantly, contribute. My go-to-approach: keep an open mind, be curious and listen! People are the hardest but the most rewarding material to work with. → #Prioritisation: At first I was about to learn everything and become an expert yesterday. Obviously, it did not work. The realities show that you simply cannot grasp all of the things, it takes time. Learnings - force yourself to take this time and go one step at a time! → Numbers vs. Context: I would recommend everyone who is starting a similar role to understand and prioritise your business numbers first: revenue, sales targets, YoY growth, churn, retention, clients segmentation, etc.…this is something you can understand relatively fast, it will give you control and stable feet to stand on; business context and the “why is it this way” come later and will become a nice add-on. → Your support board: your peers and colleagues are your assets. Be hungry (and proactive) to grasp their wisdom and experience! → New language: working in a language you never worked in (in my case German) is extremely challenging. I simply had situations when I sweated hard and did not understand what people were saying. But time has a unique power - it normalises things that are not initially normal. Be ok with this but do take actions to improve yourself: I got back to the weekly German classes with a specific focus on leadership, DACH professional culture, presentation and business communication. Purposeful training always helps. For anyone in the same situation my advice would be - find a good teacher and prioritise it on a regular basis! For emails - use #ChatGPT and learn from it. Small consistent steps forward with the help of technology, patience and humour will climb any mountain. Quoting my beautiful colleague Sandra Mayr: “das wird schon!” :)  → Assess your other knowledge gaps and prioritise it: it could be a product deep-dive pitch to your clients, or a budget planning for the next 5 years. Have your plan ready, learn from your team and get their feedback.    It's just a few thoughts, I am sure I will have so much more in the time onwards! The ride has been great so far, I am very grateful!

🚧 High Sickness Rates in Blue Collar Jobs: A Call for Change in Germany 🇩🇪 Did you know blue-collar workers in Germany face some of the highest sickness rates? We see shortages not only with nurses, kindergardeners and people working in hospitality, but basically in every labor intensive occupation out there. This trend combined with staff shortage and demografic change is truely a challenge for everyone in our society. Organizations need to understand, that they are the ones holding power to work against this trend. All it takes is understanding of the problem and committment in making a change. Here are three actionable steps: Enhance Workplace Safety 🛡️ Safety isn't just a legal obligation; it's a commitment to your team. Regular training, updated equipment, and a culture that prioritizes safety can drastically reduce injury-related absences. You need to identify the most common hazards and focus on eradicating damages. Promote Health and Wellness Programs 🌿 Investing in wellness programs pays off. Offering fitness memberships, mental health support, and healthy eating options can boost overall employee health, reducing sickness rates. But there's more—data transparency is crucial in this journey. By gathering information and identifying trends in absence data, companies can identify patterns, address issues proactively, and invest in the right measures to improve employee health. Transparency not only drives accountability but also empowers informed decision-making. A tool just like Bloom is giving these insights, shows trends and suggests suitable initiatives. More than that, it can even show the effectiveness of the initiatives in the long run. Tackling high sickness rates requires a holistic approach. By prioritizing safety, health, a supportive environment, and data transparency, businesses can not only improve attendance but also foster a more productive and motivated workforce. #BlueCollarHealth #WorkplaceWellness #EmployeeSafety #GermanyJobs #BusinessLeadership #DataTransparency

I have to confess that I have been nervous: Standing on this massive stage in front of an 11k people audience and speaking to no one less than Mateo Price, Chief Strategy Officer of MrBeast. 🤯 What a beast of an experience… 😉 During our interview on the OMR Conference stage this Tuesday, Mateo shared fascinating insights on how AI is transforming their creative process. My biggest three take aways: 1. Mateo outlined their creative process, spanning ideation, design, production, editing and localisation. AI tools are already being utilized broadly! 2. AI’s biggest benefit is saving time: As MrBeast reinvests every single dollar back into new video production, their main constraint is time. AI tools enable  them to work faster and more efficiently. 3. Their favourite AI tool is Aloud, Youtube's dubbing feature, and multi-language-audio: MrBeast's content is already available in 15 languages around the globe. And now the best news of the week: Soon, there will be a 16th language available – GERMAN! 🎉 This is a perfect example of what I believe: AI will significantly enhance creativity. 💪 At YouTube, we're thrilled to see how top content creators like MrBeast experiment with AI tools. At the same time, we at YouTube are committed to develop AI responsibly. This means carefully considering potential benefits while proactively assessing and addressing challenges and risks. We adhere to our principle-based approach and collaborate closely with industry partners. ➡️ What was your favourite talk at #OMR24?  Let me know in the comments! #OMR #AI #Creators #YouTube #CreativeAI
