A Trip Around the World and .....?

before and while doing so learn to help client
organizations for sustainably coping with com-
plex and dynamic challenges?

Team Academy in Jyväskylä has a similar slogan
"...learn some marketing on the way".

If you are interested to join the learning community,
then send me a note stating answers to the following:

Where have I been?
Where am I now?
Where am I going?
How do I get there?
How do I know that I have reached my goals?

Team Academy Dresden - the future begins today

See you around if the above appeals to you.

Best regards

Ralf

PS.: The base will be Dresden and yet there is already a net-
work of Team Academies, Team Factories, in Spain, Nether-
lands, France, Finland (the starting point 16 years ago).

Please give me a notice if you would like to join, even though
you are not based in Dresden - we will make the undoable reality

Hi Manu,

Great to see you here:-)

Yes, it is true, following your dream(s) will enlighten strengths you never have thought before.

Set sails and go to explore new land, countries, ideas, people, experiences...

Earning some money on the way, is of course, obligatory;-))

Cheers,

Ralf

My perspectives on your first three questions -

Where have I been?
Where am I now?
Where am I going?

All I know is that I am on a journey and that is in itself a destination.

How do I get there?

Trusting my instincts, being open to challenges, making friends along the way.

How do I know that I have reached my goals?

When I find joy in the unexpected.

Warmest regards,
Marigo

Hi Marigo,

You have inspired me thinking about the following questions again:

Where have I been?

In an organizational world where my voice didn't count much (while I was there); now it is truth over there.

Where am I now?

Reflecting, which road to take for the time to come:

- the one that everybody is travelling on?
- the countryside path through the rolling valleys?
- the cobblestone one through the Dresden backcountry?
- the unknown one that I don't know at that time?

I think I take the ones that lead away from the mainstream.

Discoveries have been always done, when gone into the unknown:-))

Where am I going?

Towards the visionary dream I have expressed at Peter Senge's workshop "Foundation for Leadership" exactly one year ago.

Let's get surprised, as there is NO PLAN;-))

...and still I know where I am going:-))

I feel great and keep you posted about the stages.

Cheers,

Ralf

That sounds great Ralf! And we don't need a plan to know where we are going. Vision and passion are ingrained in our hearts and provide an internal compass to guide us.

Hi Marigo, reflecting on our current action stage at LockSchuppen or the new TeamAcademy prototype and many conversation I am quite sure we have a goal in the far distance of our life. Something is calling us - we are often unable to articulate this in words as the vision seems unspeakable to others (only we think to know it). Not so I think - sharing your thoughts and very personal vision will open the gate to great journeys through the wilderness of life :-)

Cheers, Ralf

Happy to share and contribute Ralf :-) Remember that you are embarking on a unique enterprise and you can't take everyone on the journey with you. However like minded souls will always find each other. Now, let's organise our next conversation on how we can make this journey a successful one...
