Wie Sie Krisen in Chancen verwandeln können

Juhu, die Normalität ist zurück! Zumindest weitgehend. Wie lange das so bleibt, wissen wir zwar nicht (Stichwort "Delta-Variante"), aber für den Moment ist es so. Ist damit alles wieder gut? Oder kann es nicht vielleicht sogar besser werden als vorher?   Die...

Do You Know This?

Trapped in a Perpetual Crisis

Climate, Corona, War, Artificial Intelligence, Inflation, Energy, Supply Chains, Skilled Labor Shortage, ...
What else, please?

Crises are the new "normal". They overlap, and we talk about a "polycrisis". The changes come so suddenly and are so drastic that some threaten to lose their heads. Here helps resilienceIt is the answer to perhaps the greatest mental challenge of the future.

How can one remain mentally strong in difficult times and even grow from crises?

Fear of the Future | Stress from Change

You and your team are facing major challenges or are already in the midst of the change process. Employees feel stressed and insecure. Many long for the "good old days" instead of bravely moving towards the future. Somehow the new vision is communicated a lot, but little lived. Now it is time for leaders to reach their teams not only in the head but also in the heart. 

How do I mobilize people for a great vision?

Keynotes - Much WOW, Little HOW

Who isn't familiar with the boring frontal presentations in a meeting room atmosphere? In contrast, keynotes on the big stage are usually professionally pointed and often elicit enthusiasm in the audience – WOW! But back in the office, the highlight from the keynote event quickly fades into the reality of everyday life. What's missing here is the "HOW".

How do I transfer what I've heard into my daily life?

Keynote Speaker Cancels - What Now?

A nightmare for event organizers. The event is planned for months and prepared with passion. As a highlight, a unique speaker with a promising keynote is booked and widely announced. The guests are highly anticipative. Then, shortly before the start, the bad news: the speaker cancels! Guests disappointed, host stressed. And now?

What can I do to successfully carry out my event even without the speaker?

Strong Through Crises –
Developing Resilience

Strength Through Crises Crises
Developing Resilience and Recovery Skills!

The question is not if a crisis will come, but when. This applies to both individuals and businesses, now more than ever. In a world of accelerated change, upheavals have become the norm, in life as well as in markets.
Here, the so-called "resilience" helps, the inner strength to withstand external pressures. Resilient people and teams remain strong even during crises or quickly recover afterward – like a Weeble.
The good news is: Resilience can be deliberately developed! You can learn to accept challenges and master them with a positive attitude.

Marc Wallert has experienced resilience firsthand. As a hostage, he developed mental strength. Today, he transfers his jungle strategies to your everyday life.

Strength Through Crises Crises
Recognizing and Seizing Growth Opportunities!

Even the ancient Chinese and Greeks knew: "Crises are opportunities." But these opportunities must also be "perceived," meaning recognized and seized. Only in this way can crises be truly transformed into opportunities and used for personal or business growth.
For this, the Weeble principle of "falling down, getting up, continuing" is not a good role model. Because those who continue as before after a setback risk falling into the trap of repetition. But it doesn't have to be this way! Often, crises are "necessary" – they accelerate long-overdue changes. Seize this opportunity and turn necessity into a virtue! This is how you become truly resilient.

Marc Wallert shares his personal and professional setbacks with ruthless honesty. Hard but valuable experiences – for other people as well.
