Shuo Zhang

We are forced into situations where there is no right answer or right way. Instead, there may be many options available. We are exposed to new ideas and concepts, which are not part of our day-to-day life. The learning path has been enriching and has made me look at things from different perspectives. It is not about the destination; it is about the journey.

Finding the right people to surround ourselves with is an art in which we are all invited to participate. In his famous book Shantaram, Gregory David Roberts wrote, “every human heartbeat is a universe of possibilities.” So, let’s start, fresh if we have to, take the beautiful colours we’ve surrounded ourselves with and paint a picture. Let’s be intentional this time.

Energiewende? Ja bitte – aber nicht zu teuer!
Jan Andreas
Der Treiber für den Ausbau von Erneuerbaren Energien war bisher im Wesentlichen die notwendige Begrenzung des Klimawandels. 2022 wurde deutlich und schmerzhaft bewusst, wofür die Erneuerbaren auch stehen: die Energieunabhängigkeit. Daher müssten für den weiteren Ausbau alle Lichter auf „grün“ geschaltet sein.

Sandra Mahler
Das Studium hat mir tiefes Wissen in komplexen Problemstellungen und gängigen Konstellationen mit meinen Kunden gegeben. Auch erkenne ich in Situationen neue Ansätze, Lösungen oder Fallstricke, auf die ich hinweisen und zu denen ich aktiv Unterstützung anbieten kann. Das überrascht auf Kundenseite und öffnet mir neue Türen.
