Float. Don’t Drown.
People & Culture Consulting for leaders who want to float effortlessly while others are still trying to get their ducks in a row.
Why floating matters
In a world where complexity is constant, change accelerates and talent scarcity challenges even the strongest organisations, many leaders struggle inwardly, while appearing calm and in control on the outside („Floating Duck syndrome“).
What floating means
To genuinely float means to rise above the noise, friction and overwhelm of today’s world to focus on what truly matters and to create impact with and through people.
This can happen on 3 levels: Organization, Team or Individual, and many challenges touch upon more than just one of those levels.
