Expertise

Our expertise, our methods and tools, and our experience in designing development processes essentially concern the following seven topics:

Vision Where to go?

The future is full of opportunities, that's easy to say. But which ones do you want to seize? And in hectic times and before concrete decisions, do you have the calm and foresight to explore and clarify the big questions of where to and why with the necessary depth?

In the field of Vision & Goals, we trace the thread of success to date and spin it further. To do this, we create scenarios of the future, develop target images and a very personal strategy.

Energie & BalanceHow do I stay in my power, even under pressure, stress and for a long time?

The natural phases of tension and relaxation can quickly get out of balance. If you are so overworked or under pressure that "just" taking a break is no longer enough, then an ONEDAY on energy will help you above all to improve your recovery skills. You will learn to differentiate between switching off and refueling, between reducing stress and recharging energy - and thus make your recovery phases more sustainable.

Performance & development How do I do it?

Performance improvement always includes the mental freedom to lose, fail and learn; because only then is the challenge a "may" and not just a "must". In the ONEDAYs on top performance, existing successes are analyzed, personal success patterns and the corresponding contributions in the team are recognized and named, and all these resources are prepared for the next challenge. Do you have a picture in your mind and an emotion in your heart of what it's like to be 3% better? And what exactly does "better" mean to you? Winning usually has more to do with willpower and the joy of competition than with thinking more - "thinking out of the box" is often even a disadvantage. The solutions you develop during an ONEDAY process are therefore always for heart and hand.

Leadership: leading yourself and others Questions about direction, empowerment, and execution

Today's working world is fast-paced and uncertain. What will happen next? No one knows - and everyone wants and needs to deal with the uncertainties confidently. Do you give your people the necessary orientation, strength and freedom even in times of change and pressure?

Leadership challenges are often closely linked to personal issues; and that's why we look at both the "inner game" and the external impact in our kind of leadership development.

During an ONEDAY on leadership, you will not only develop individual strategies for the current issues, but you will also have the opportunity to unload all the current issues you are involved in. And thus strengthen your personal enthusiasm factors, your purpose and your inner clarity.

If you want to take responsibility for your personal hero's journey and grow beyond yourself, we will be happy to equip you for it!

For start-ups, in change processes and in the introduction of agile working methods, we develop the relevant pillars for organizations: Values, role models, leadership principles to building internal leadership development programs, everything they need for successful leadership; because "Culture beats Strategy".

Do you have a clear picture of what leadership success means to you? Do you have role models? Do you like people and/or want to advance "The Cause"? At an ONEDAY Leadership you will clarify these questions personally, individually and sustainably.

Thoughts from ONEDAY on the topic of lighthouse & leadership: ONEDAY Newsletter February 2023

Decisions Questions about Plan B, dealing well with dilemmas, and expanding solution spaces

Decisions shape our lives. The weight of decisions can be so great that it unsettles, paralyzes or even blocks us. At an ONEDAY on the topic of decision-making, you will bring clarity to your current decision-making situation; is it a question for which there is a good solution or a dilemma in which all options entail high costs and great advantages and can only be handled well?

Being good together & teamwork How the «WE» succeeds as a success factor

Trust, respect, values, and communication are easy to say and hard to achieve, because they are topics that are not clarified and defined in the head and on paper - they can only be experienced and worked out with heart, brain and hand.

Every group of people goes through phases and when this is understood and designed, the magic state of a high performance team succeeds better, sooner and with less friction and pain. Because the difference from a group to a team is that in a team it takes everyone (A band without drums is no longer functioning) and for that real teams can achieve things that many members of a group together can never do. (Rolling Stones, landing on the moon, etc.)

Grown SME's and many start-ups are often organized more like a family than they are structured like a company. The personalities and their responsibilities are historically united, which is the bottleneck for qualitative and quantitative development - this is where a good role model can bring clarity to person and function, clearing the way for growth. This is often also a key factor in attracting professionals and providing a path for talent in the future.

Values are only as good as they are lived. Everyday life is shaped more by habits and culture than by goals or OKRs.

If a team manages not only to communicate well, but also to find a meta-communication and an awareness of the current mode, then completely new goals and dimensions are possible.

Everyone knows how a good sports team looks and performs on the field - with our sports psychology background we help you and your team to transfer this know-how to your abstract playing fields in business, administration or research. Is it also clear to you and your team what the ambitions and hunger for success are: to compete regionally or to climb up to the Champions League?

Change & Transformation How does change succeed and how does the new work sustainably?

Development can take place through three different levels of quality: Optimizing, which means doing the best with what you already have (example: trimming the existing sails better) Changes, which you acquire (more muscle, more discipline) but which can also disappear again or via a transformation (a revolution, a new business model or a kernel of corn that becomes popcorn.) ) that cannot be reversed.

An ONEDAY on transformation is usually a personal element in a larger change project. It is well known that these concepts have clear goals, timelines and development steps on product and organizational level - and it is also well known that it is the human factor that determines whether it works and the transformation works.

When it is clear to everyone "What's in for me?" and opinion leaders and executives courageously strive for the new world instead of just avoiding the old, then the watershed is usually crossed and development is possible. A genuine and personal mindset shift helps to achieve this, which can succeed well in a 1:1 setting and also forms the necessary prerequisite for good leadership.

If you want to change something in your private life, whether habits, health or a new mindset for a new stage of life - we also coach you on this and clarify for you and perhaps your family the new values, ways and tools for implementation until it becomes a habit.

Does your change have a vision? Do you know why you want to change it?

If you are stuck in a transformation where everything is clear on paper - but nothing is clear to the people, we are happy to develop a Development Journey based on the current state and design individual solutions for teams. And be reassured; typical for change projects is that they do not run according to plan and controlling and reacting are much more important than starting perfectly.
