“Barbara Thoma is our work and publishing life coach. (After all, we are a publisher of educational media – and we use gender-inclusive language wherever possible!)
Our collaboration with ARGO began many years ago. If I remember correctly, the initial question at the time was roughly this: How does our almost medieval management manage to get along with the young whippersnappers on the team? And how can we at the same time do justice to the ambitious colleagues whose expectations sometimes leave us with honest, profound bewilderment?
Short impulse workshops followed: sometimes with the whole team, sometimes in smaller groups. Topics such as “managing external partners” or “project communication” regularly appeared on the agenda. Our leadership team also treated itself to training sessions on the topic of “leadership” – as well as the occasional one-on-one session for particularly challenging situations.
Among all these valuable experiences, however, one stands out in particular: our sessions on resilience. I vividly remember how we stood in the garden of the Europahaus seminar hotel, enjoying the mild weather and treating ourselves to a so-called resource shower. Anyone who knows what I’m talking about can surely understand the power it unleashes. And for those who don’t know what I’m talking about: you’re missing out! Truly. Just book this ARGO offering – you won’t regret it!
On the ARGO website it says:
“Leadership is an attitude and a repertoire of behaviors that, through inspiration and role modeling, aligns people toward a shared goal and fosters collective action – regardless of position or title.”
And what can I say: Barbara Thoma supports us excellently in exactly this regard whenever we wouldn’t succeed on our own in time.
With many impulses, helpful information – and yes, also with some truths that we perhaps didn’t always want to hear. But these were precisely the ones that helped us move forward enormously. Our publishing house, our collaboration, our way of leading – not just the young whippersnappers!”
ARGO conveys a mindset and helps people live it, with short content impulses and well-targeted interventions.
