"Mindfulness means being present in the moment” – I have heard this sentence many times. But only now do I fully understand what “being present” actually means: becoming thoroughly aware of what is happening within your mind and body as well as in the external environment – all with an attitude of curiosity, openness, and acceptance. This awareness prevents us from pure limbic reactivity and provides us with the freedom to actively choose our reactions in challenging situations. Last week, Bertelsmann University hosted another great session of ‘BeReady – the digital series for Top Executives’ at Bertelsmann. BeReady moderator, Jim Dowd, former Senior Fellow at Harvard Business School, welcomed our guest speaker Peter Bostelmann, Chief Mindfulness Officer at SAP. Peter has been a pioneer in integrating mindfulness into corporate culture, demonstrating its transformative impact on both individual and organizational levels. Among many other interesting learnings, Peter provided us with scientific research showing how regular mindfulness practices not only modulate the structures of our brain but also directly impact our ability to make complex decisions and boost creativity and problem-solving. Thank you, Peter, for this eye-opening and truly mindful session! #BertelsmannUniversity #BeReady #Mindfulness #Leadership #ExecutiveLearning #OrganizationalCulture #WorkplaceWellbeing #Innovation

Staying ahead in the ever-evolving IT landscape & world of HR & Legal is hard - it means constantly learning 🎓 and adapting. 📚✨ I know it’s challenging to carve out time for learning amidst the hustle of work 📅 and personal life. But nurturing my curiosity 🔎 and understanding how things work 💡is crucial to me. Overcoming the “Performance Paradox” is essential for organizations striving to build and maintain high-performing teams. We’re often so focused on delivering results 📈 that we neglect the growth opportunities in the learning zone and we miss valuable opportunities to enhance our brainpower 🧠. Yet, it’s this learning that empowers us to reach new heights and stay future-proof. (Shoutout to Eduardo Briceño for his insights). So, fostering the "Learning Mindset" in an organization is crucial for its survical. Learning new things also broadens my personal perspective and helps me to: (𝟏) 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 (𝟐) 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (HR & Legal need to understand the business) (𝟑) 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐥𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨-𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 Recently, I completed the Harvard Business School Data Science Principles Course, gaining insights into how algorithms work and data analysis pitfalls. Additionally, I’ve delved into AI in HR and strategic negotiation courses in 2024. I’m incredibly grateful for the extensive learning opportunities provided by Bertelsmann University and Arvato Systems. The breadth and depth of available resources are truly remarkable! (One of the many perks of working at Arvato Systems) I encourage my management colleagues to act visibly as role models 🔝 on adapting new skills and competencies and thriving in the Learning Zone! Even if it means, that you "suck at something new". Take it as a "walk the talk" opportunity as a leader and encourage your teams, to do the same! Be bold. Be brave. Keep evolving!
