Über uns
Jump into a LAB where you immediately are #outofthebox. Watching PowerPoints doesn't work; anyone with teens knows-words alone don´t change behavior ;) You get Improv, clowning and Positive Psychology so your neurons start moving towards new behavior. If you realize the future is Adapt or die- and your team needs a SHIFT but doesn't understand how new habits are sustainable then invite the revolutionary 3 steps and 2 words into your team culture.
Oh yeah, bad news- the GenZ are needy. To have ⇪ retention from GenZ talent, use our one of a kind,, AQAI Adaptability Quotient assessment so the #futureofwork is less stressful and more innovative.
Curious? Watch me babe!
Together it's CanDo Culture time!

Having lived in 5 continents, visited 57 countries and learned 5 languages (and forgotten 4)- I am that global perspective you need if you want to survive the local challenges of cultural difference and personality clashes.
McKinsey & Company reports that companies with a strong culture that emphasizes adaptability have better financial performance. We train a curious ¨AND¨ mindset with a 3-step program that trains the infrastructure of communicating and connecting. At Engage, we quickly empower participants to try a new way of thinking by removing their "buts" and harnessing the multiplying power of the "ands" in their sentences. Audiences relate immediately moving toward actionable Changes.
Gamified. Fast. Fun.
Jess- me- was awarded ¨Top Female Speaker in Western Europe¨ 2022 and 5x State Champion of Public Speaking. I use humor because any other way doesn't work as well. I have 20 years of experience hospitality & events, my specialties are:

We transform your relationship to change and uncertainty by fostering their adaptability. Resilience is a subcategory that we measure and train with AQai assessments. We use Improv’s low-stakes training to increase the likelihood that team members will feel comfortable communicating.
