Barrier-free in my head or with which mindset am I actually traveling?

Sebastian Wächter as a guest at avitea in Lippstadt

The tension is mounting, as the numerous colleagues from the scheduling department have received an invitation but don't know what to expect. The surprise is great when everyone gathers in the lecture room and meets Sebastian Wächter together with Stefan Lerche, member of the management team. 

A keynote speech? The annual kick-off of the Dispo? "Just break new ground," says Stefan Lerche.Take a short break from everyday tasks and focus. Where do we want to go and how can we achieve this? 

Our guest Sebastian Wächter - sitting in a wheelchair - immediately creates a curious atmosphere among his colleagues with his presence on stage. The unagitated way in which he talks about his accident, the exhausting fight back to life - you could easily ask what this has to do with my work in the scheduling department of a personnel service provider. But Sebastian Wächter, who works as a coach for numerous companies, manages to make the connection. What attitude, what mindset helped him to find his way? And, conversely, to point out the parallels to his colleagues: How do I deal with change processes, how do we overcome challenges? 

Sebastian Wächter's solutions are pragmatic, even if, admittedly, this is never a straightforward and simple path in real life. Sebastian Wächter asks questions that you can ask in any situation - professional or private. Do I simply hope that the old circumstances will return so that I don't have to change? What does acceptance mean?It certainly doesn't mean that I have to like the change. What is my focus? What room for maneuver do I have? What is my mindset? Am I in an upward or downward spiral mentally? Who is responsible and am I in a position to ask for help? 

The conclusion: Barriers often arise in the mind - by changing our attitude, we can think in a more barrier-free way. We would like to thank Sebastian Wächter for his insights and impulses - now it's up to us to make something of them.
