Like many NGOs, the ReDI School of Digital Integration faces challenging times. Rising costs and reduced funding make it challenging, but the demand for accessible tech education is more significant than ever. What’s an adequate response? With courage and collaboration, the ReDI team adapted to the changes ahead. From spring 2025, they must restructure parts of their tech program and work with a smaller team. Again, ReDI shows that every crisis is an opportunity for innovation. ignore gravity support ReDI Schools' amazing work through donations and leadership development because we have seen the ReDI team have a deep impact on so many lives!

Journaling holds incredible potential for personal growth, but we know how challenging it can be to establish a consistent routine. That’s why our founder, Jan Bathel, created Journal/Ritual – a beautifully crafted journal designed to make this practice sustainable and inspiring. Journal/Ritual blends the power of Gratitude Journaling and Stream-of-Consciousness Journaling, enriched with thoughtful monthly prompts that gently guide you through self-reflection and intention-setting. As we approach the end of the year, this journal becomes even more impactful. The December reflective guides help you honor the past year, while the January planning tools empower you to create meaningful goals and a clear vision for 2025. Whether you’re using it for personal growth or as part of a team’s year-end reflections, this simple yet profound ritual fosters alignment, clarity, and development. Make it a gift for yourself or someone you care about – a gift of presence and purpose. Visit our online shop to get your copy: www.journalritual.com ✨ #yearendreflection #leadership #journalritual

As we wrap up the Founders Forward Mentoring program with our dear partners at JPMorganChase, we are grateful and proud for the incredible progress our mentoring teams have made over the past 8 months. It has been an amazing journey of growth, learning, and connection, made possible by the power of mentorship and peer support. Our dedicated mentors and mentees worked together throughout the program to explore new opportunities, overcome challenges and push their businesses forward. The collaborative spirit, resilience, and determination displayed by everyone involved are truly inspiring. To cap it all off, we hosted an unforgettable celebration event reflecting on the impact of this journey and cheering towards future successes. This is not the end — it's a new beginning, as the insights and relationships formed during this time will continue to fuel progress. Our inspiring keynote speaker, Rim Melake, made this year's program even more unique, whose insights and encouragement set the perfect tone for our celebration. It was also wonderful to have our Founders Forward alumni, previous mentors, and valued partners jumpp – Ihr Sprungbrett in die Selbständigkeit, Frauenbetriebe e. V. and Kompass Frankfurt join us to celebrate this milestone. Their ongoing support and participation strengthen our community and help pave the way for future entrepreneurs. Thank you to all the mentors, mentees, alumni, and partners who made this possible. Let’s keep the momentum going!
