I am asked. "What's next for you?" I've heard a few times. My answer in this post.
It was important, valuable and groundbreaking. Both privately and professionally." And, "Basically, my life remains as it is. But a lot of things I hope to do differently in the future.

#valuable: I can feel the value of the time I had. Time to relax, enjoy, reflect, get to the bottom of things. To approach and deal with people in peace. Doing everything to the end until I'm really done with it. Being able to stop, look at things and really process what I'm seeing and experiencing. I feel infinitely rich thanks to this time, inspired for my life and work.

#important: I feel good again. Now that I realize what energy feels like, I also know that nothing was going right in April. It won't go there again, that's what I promised myself.

#pathing: I will continue to work in communications and I will still like to work with the teams that I have known and appreciated for years. I'm happy to stay in Isselhorst and happy to have the man by my side. What I will do differently sounds banal: Set smart priorities. Not taking the difficulties of my crisis and change projects into my private life. No longer trying to do everything at once. Open up, trust and give up responsibility. Cut off old habits and only invest energy in people who are willing to give energy back. Only participate in discussions that I think are meaningful and to which I can really contribute.

I will not fill a new self-help guidebook with these thoughts. Because, unfortunately, the written word did little for me - I had to go out and do it. I changed place, time, and thoughts, and in doing so, changed my future. Even though I am still exactly the person I have always been.
I'm also looking forward to real exchanges. I will contribute a few stories from my time out related to my job. Let`s stay tuned and work together!

Time Out 2022

  • Titel des Beitrags EN: Time Out 2022
  • Kachelbild hochladen 16:9 EN:  Time Out 2022
  • Teaser Macht Sinn EN: "I'm off then!" - I've wanted to write this sentence for so long. Now I'm going to do it.
I wish that the accompanying rhetoric of all those involved would do justice to the size of the task, and not flaunt the size of their own egos.

There is enough to do - social justice, pensions, jobs, climate, education and training, digitalization, bureaucratization. I hope for a package that addresses the root causes of the problems.

If that happened, we would all have to be prepared for change. In a commentary in the FAZ, Gerald Braunberger writes: "Any new government will have to deal with the contradiction between an urgent need for reform and the resistance of many people to change in their lives."

This will not be easy, as I know only too well as a consultant in change processes. But, as the FAZ headlines, there is a "duty to change". Here you can read the article (in German only).

  • Teaser Macht Sinn EN: or can it go? Ten years of bachelor theses...

..went back to FHM Mittelstand today for data protection-compliant document destruction.

Some of the work was really impressive. I remember one candidate who studied the impact of crisis communications on a particular issue in one location - she created a survey that was actually representative because she got the population figures and microcensus for the city and kept ringing doorbells with her questionnaire until she had a representative set of data. The only exam out of more than 60 that I graded with the highest grade and 100 points.

The low point was a paper that I was actually able to expose as plagiarism. That someone is trying to cheat a grade really annoyed me, because all (other) candidates and the examiners put a lot of work into it.

I was a bit sentimental because, above all, there are more than 60 people whom I was able to accompany on their way in the completion of their training - with some I am still in contact today. All still accompany my good thoughts and best wishes!

Done for 2021

  • Titel des Beitrags EN: Done for 2021
  • Kachelbild hochladen 16:9 EN:  Done for 2021
  • Teaser Macht Sinn EN: Work for 2021 is done, the inbox is empty. It feels good and it's about time.

Looking back, 2021 was marked by unexpectedly big challenges. Looking ahead, I will continue to do everything I can in 2022 to shape the future of organizations and our coexistence through communication. To do this, I would like to continue to have people in a good network at my side - gladly and hopefully soon again with more "real" encounters.

Where it took place, thank you for the exchange, the conversations and the cooperation in the past year. Connections were and are valuable and meaningful for me because they enrich me and broaden my horizons. My promise: We will make up for every missed meeting!

For the end of the year, I wish you and yours happy holidays, a relaxing time and a good start into the new year. Enjoy and enjoy very much of what is important to you and yours.

Please stay, stay healthy!

Yours
Juliane Hollenhorst

Feed confidence

  • Teaser Macht Sinn EN: A sad 1st Advent because many things are not as they should be.

I have it nice at home and everyone around me is healthy, but for too many it is different. I don't even want to think about those who are fighting for their lives in the intensive care units and the people who are there for them. The minority of the unvaccinated, who I think contribute significantly to this situation, are taking the majority of the vaccinated in hostage, as I see it. That cannot be right.

Still, keep hope, don't give up the efforts to convince, keep going. Feed confidence with biscuits and candles.
