Training & Coaching zwischen den Kulturen: Arts & Business, oder Was können Geschäftsleute von KünstlerInnen lernen?

Unsere Gesellschaft ist im Umbruch: die wirtschaftliche Lage, die politische Situation, die Formen zwischenmenschlicher Interaktion verändern sich rapide und stellen die Menschen, die hier & heute leben, vor scheinbar ungekannte Herausforderungen.
Change Management Training, welches Methoden und ‚Strategien' isoliert vermittelt, greift angesichts dieser komplexen, dynamischen Realität zu kurz.

Gefordert sind Ressourcen, die Mitarbeitern in Organisationen andere Fähigkeiten vermitteln oder Fähigkeiten anders vermitteln. Diese Ressourcen bietet die Kunst in idealer Weise.

• Welche Methoden und Fähigkeiten aus der Praxis von Künstlerinnen helfen Fach- und Führungskräften, den kommunikativen Herausforderungen in ihrer Organisation zu begegnen?
• Welche kulturellen Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede lassen sich erkennen?
• Wie trägt ein interkulturelles Wertesystem in diesem Sinne zur Personalentwicklung bei?
• Wie können Teilnehmer diese Entwicklung nachhaltig in ihre Berufspraxis umsetzen?

Und weil wir finden, daß das Ruhrgebiet eine ideale Homebase für diesen Ansatz ist, erfahren Sie auch, warum.

"It is only love that makes us rich and human", Eva Meier-Kill

12 Dec 2003, Pauluskirche Bochum --- good, warm, bright. Many people had come. We miss Eva and are glad to have known her.

The feeling that the others appreciated the same warmth and brilliance, the same charisma in her, opportunities to learn from her, laugh with her, share delicious meals at a table where everyone was always welcome, all that unites us.

Her friend Anne-Mary Robinson travelled all the way from England just for the concert. The music, the choir, the organ: transparent, to the point, with an enormous range of expression and concentration, full of emotion and authentic passion.

She would have loved it!

Coffee - Culture - Communication: wave-concepts launch a success!

So what was it like, on the afternoon of the 10 Oct 2003 in the "Zwischenraum" at Hellweg 16, Bochum?

The party got a good response: it was full, but there was no pushing, no shoving. Artists, clients, colleagues, journalists, officials from the town, students, friends and family made up a stimulating mix of guests, who had a good chat in stylish ambiance and were entertained well.

The light blend of information, fine arts and the music of Betty LaMinga www.LaMinga.de and Heinz Hox aroused interest, made people curious and ask for more.


Even for more education and training! And indeed the coffee maschine immediately served as a centre of communication, right from the beginning, when things can easily get embarassing. The highly aromatic coffee and excellent snacks by Cafe Gloria's would have put every promise in the shade.



The art was received favourably as well: sculptures, paintings, graphic art and photography by Regine Bergmann, Avelke Edel, Beate Braumann, Frauke Schützig and Dirk Lohmann (Photographie) motivated the youngest visitor, Leyla Wissuwa (8), to some business oriented creativity and older guests to describe the undescribable.


My wonderful team provided help in the preparation, saw to details, to ensure an uncomplicated flow of events, unobtrusively cared for the guests: Cordula Feld and Nadine Ohm.

This was a successful and stimulating party! Many thanks to all of you and to our guests!
