I consumed a lot. And I didn’t find happiness in all of that.

#13 | Andreas Schanzenbach - From employee coaching to creating a better society (leadership)

„We need to challenge the status quo“. Andreas Schanzenbach, Co-Founder of Cromatics, takes us on a very inspiring journey and tells us how they regularly work with professional coaches to increase the quality of their work, but also to help their employees to grow on a personal level. Very honestly, Andreas speaks about a time, when they understood their problems start at the top, within the leadership level. Once they have achieved great results with coaching work on the leader level, they started to bring coaching work to the rest of the company. Employees are encouraged to work on private projects at work. Andreas tells us, why he believes this will make his company more successful in the long run, why this increases ownership and the creativity of the employees. Giving back to community is a true credo at Cromatics as well as „Planet earth first, humans second, technology third“. Be excited for a great ride with a true role model in progressive and modern work environments. We’ll learn: * How to create a healthy society * Why companies should serve humans * How coaching helps to increase the quality of work * Why you should always change your work situation from within * Why employees need to decide the way they want to work

#12 | The impact of female leadership on work environments (women, career, womenintech)

During the female founders event by WLOUNGE, the panelists of the event answered the question “How will work change once we have more women in leadership positions”: Nina Jetter (Investment manager at Project A), Jag Singh (Managing Director at Techstars), Cilia C. Kanellopoulos (Head of Social Innovation at Vodafone Institute), Katy Campbell (Head of Brand and Communication at APX), Mali Baum (CEO of WLOUNGE) and Karolina Attspodina (CIO of WLOUNGE) share their voices and their experience with us. We talk about creating environments where - we have more women at the table and it is more about the person and not such much about the gender - it is not so much about to “fit in” and adapt to a business culture which is male dominated and more women will be able to be themselves, because no one should change their personality in order to become successful. We learn why more female role models are crucial so younger women can choose the one that fits to them and don’t need to stick to that one example that made it, but also why it should be the new normal to have female leaders, so younger female can see they can get there and how. Decisions will be made in a more diverse way from different perspectives by bringing more emotional factors and empathy to the table. Our current, very ancient working concepts will need to be rethought, so they fit to the needs of women and especially mothers. In a world of female leadership or at least a 50:50 split, we would not need to worry about diversity and inclusion anymore and can build better products and solutions instead. By bringing the female perspective in while building products, we make sure to have the voice of the majority of our population being heard and understand this powerful consumer group much better.
