BERlean IN Circle 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 The Lean In evening on burnout at Scout24 SE wasn’t just informative—it was a reality check. It wasn’t the usual conversation about stress; it dove deep into what burnout looks like when it’s lived, and how we, as a society, need to do better. Fabienne opened with a clear breakdown of burnout’s stages, but what hit hardest were Kazia's and 🥙Abdo’s personal stories. They didn’t just describe burnout—they showed us what it feels like. Kazia’s analogy stuck with me: “If your leg is broken, you rest and let it heal. But with mental health, we push through until we completely break.” It made me realize how different we treat mental pain from physical pain—often ignoring it until we’re too far gone. Abdo’s story mirrored this struggle. He was deeply frightened to be seen by his work as "a broken man" who is no longer capable of handling his previous responsibilities. "You are not a broken human if you suffer from mental health issues." But what was most relieving, especially as a people leader, was Fabienne’s candid explanation of who is truly responsible for addressing burnout in organizations. It’s not just on managers or team leaders, but the responsibility of those 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗽. “The responsibility lies with the owners and shareholders because they are the ones making the key decisions. It’s their job to ensure that healthy systems are in place from day one—because healthy is sustainable, and ultimately more profitable. If the CEO doesn’t buy into it, or the shareholders don’t care, nothing will get realized that actually matters.” People leaders can do everything in their power to support their teams, but if the company’s structures and values don’t align with promoting employee well-being, change will never take root. Fabienne also pointed out that companies often treat people like machines, planning workloads as if humans can perform at 100% every day. “We are cyclical creatures,” she said. Some days we perform at our peak, and other days we need rest—it’s simply part of being human. Yet, organizations often don’t account for this natural rhythm. Budgets and capacity plans are created with the assumption that people won’t get sick or need breaks. It’s this kind of thinking that drives burnout. Julia’s moderation let the conversation breathe, creating space for the raw emotions in the room. We didn’t just talk about burnout as a concept—we felt it, and that built a deep sense of empathy. Oliver S.’s BE LIGHT Now GmbH mediation app demo was brilliant, but what touched me most was seeing him later at the train station, quietly handing out leftover food to the homeless. No big announcements—just kindness in action. It was a reminder that compassion should always have a place in our busy lives. #MentalHealth

💬 "𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆!" - Bam! That was just one of the powerful quotes from yesterday's BERlean IN Circle event on 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. I still cannot find the right words to capture the magic of the evening and the incredible quartet on stage! Let me at least summarize my learnings from our amazing speakers: 🔸 Ebony Simone Morczinek, CFO at Blacklane "Everything in life starts with a thought. Our thoughts create this reality. So please envision your future. And think big in numbers." For Ebony, it’s 10 million. Her presence transforms every room into a cathedral. She embodies what it means to deserve space and be confident. Her biggest advice still gives me goosebumps: "Know your trauma before you enter a negotiation!" 🔸 Dr. Martina Pesic, Negotiation Expert This woman is obsessed with negotiations. She wrote her diploma and PhD on negotiation. You can even book her for "shadow negotiation." Her key advice: Be prepared and know your tactics. She empowered us women (and male allies) in the room: Don’t introduce numbers too early before you’ve sold your value. A number is like an anchor—the first number sticks. 🔸 Stefanie Voss, Leadership Coach She is truly an adventurer; Stefanie sailed around the world! Her claim is: be a pirate, not a princess when entering negotiations! Pirates have one core superpower: Audacity! It’s the conscious decision to move beyond fear ("I don’t dare to..."), shame ("What will people think..."), conventions ("The status quo..."), and rules ("This is how it is done"). I loved how she provided concrete examples of how to train your audacity with tiny habits. For example, walk up to a policewoman and thank her for keeping us safe during the European soccer cup. 🔸 Coco Decrouppé, Leadership Coach 🥅⚽️👩‍🏫 Coco is from Austria, and she chose to spend time with us rather than watch the Austrian soccer team win last night! What a coach! She introduced us to her 'The Soccer Field Model©️,' a tool she developed to understand the driving forces in negotiations. What I will never forget: Negotiation starts with Level 1: focus on myself! If I don’t care for my emotions, I won’t set clear boundaries. Kudos to our moderator 🎤Antje Venjakob, who orchestrated the evening with such a lovely flow! A huge thank you to Blacklane and in particular Brenda Omari & Abigail Pfeiffer for hosting this event. It was great for many women to connect with Cindy Rubbens CHRO of Blacklane, too! Team Power: Thanks to Agata G. & Julia Teubert (she/her) for being enablers in organizing the Lean In events! 🎉

𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻'𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴? The number of qualified staff in Berlin's childcare centers is dropping alarmingly. 🏢 Here's why this matters: 1/ Skilled Workforce Decline: The latest study shows Berlin has the steepest decline in skilled childcare workers compared to other regions. 2/ Quality at Risk: Only 35% of teams now meet the ideal qualification levels, down from 53% in 2017. This impacts the care quality our children receive. 3/ National Benchmark: Despite Berlin still being above the national average, the drop is concerning. Overworked staff leads to reduced quality and burnout. But here's the thing... Childcare requires highly qualified professionals. Lowering standards isn't a sustainable solution. A strategic approach is needed to attract and retain skilled workers: - Embrace Diversity: We need more women in STEM and experienced professionals from the 50+ generation. Their skills can revitalize this sector. - Data-Driven Decisions: HR must use data to understand workforce needs and implement effective solutions. At allygatr, we're committed to building a leading HR ecosystem that supports sectors like childcare. Together, we can create solutions that make a real difference. Have you already tried integrating diverse talents in your team? How did it go? #fachkräftemangel #kindergarten

I can truly be myself - can you as well? When I joined konversionsKRAFT AG AG five years ago, I had no idea how unique this place would turn out to be. But I had a gut feeling from my first calls with Lisa Benner, Gabriel Beck, and André Morys that this would be a place where I could show up as myself. And that became my motto: I would stay true to who I am and keep pushing the my value: Be authentic, be brave, and make things happen - fast. 🚀 And it became real: In a world where it’s so often just about numbers and outcomes, I’ve found a workplace that values the person behind the work. I’m free to try new things, knowing mistakes are part of the process. There’s a lot of trust to let me work in a way that feels right for me. Real people and genuine ideas are valued, and there’s no place for false consensus. To me, this is what real workplace culture is all about: a place where you don’t have to put on a mask to fit in, where you’re accepted as you are, and where growth happens not by changing who you are, but by believing in you. Special big thank goes to André Morys who is constantly working with me on my development. 🙏 And honestly, for some people, a job is just a job – fair enough. But for me, it's a little bit more. It’s a place where I keep evolving while staying true to myself. Here’s to many more years of simply ‘going for it’ and seeing where this journey leads. 🙌 How about you? Can you be yourself? #authenticity #culture #personalgrowth #leadership #beyourself #growthmindset #konversionsKRAFT

It’s time to future-proof Germany’s economy, and talent is the key. We will be left in the past if we don’t break free from our short-sightedness and embrace a more forward-thinking national talent strategy. I've been following the public debate around the "fairness" of tax benefits for highly-skilled foreign workers, and I feel compelled to weigh in. As the leader of a homegrown tech company, I know two things about our highly-skilled team: It’s our greatest asset, and building it in Berlin has been one of our hardest challenges. It’s been hard because Germany simply doesn’t have the talent pool required to build a company like GetYourGuide. We should make long-term investments in education to change this, but that will take decades to bear fruit, and our economy’s need is acute. There is a better way, and it will bring immediate economic benefits to *all* taxpayers: Attract highly-skilled talent to Germany with tax incentives. Here’s why: 🌍 Global talent is mobile: The best minds have options, and they're choosing countries that offer the most attractive packages. We need to be in that race. 🏢 Talent fuels innovation: Our burgeoning tech community requires a constant influx of specialized skills to thrive and scale. Without them, we risk stifling our own potential. ⛵ A rising tide lifts all boats: By attracting diverse, skilled professionals, we inject fresh ideas and perspectives into our economy. This isn't just about tech – it's about future-proofing every sector. 🇩🇪 Germany can lead: We already have world-class quality of life and a strong social safety net. With the right incentives, we can position ourselves as Europe's premier destination for global innovators. It's time to lean into our advantages. 🌱 Investing in the next generation: This isn't just about today's economy – it's about securing our children’s future prosperity and well-being. Germany must transition away from its manufacturing-centric past – our society depends on it, and the planet demands it. This isn't about giving unfair advantages. It's about recognizing that in today's interconnected world, talent flows where opportunity calls. Countries like the Netherlands and Italy have already implemented such measures with great success, but this fact is completely absent from our German debate! It's time for Germany to make a bold move and create the conditions that will attract the world's brightest minds to our shores. First, we need to ask ourselves: Do we want to lead or be left behind?
