Welcome to the Human side of HumanBusiness. Here you find inspiration and techniques for your personal development. I share these insights based on my own experiences, because I believe that organizational or any kind of leadership is not possible without personal leadership. We can only be a positive inspiration to others if we act integer to what we stand for.

“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. … We need not wait to see what others do.” – Mahatma Gandhi

A good starting point for you could be to reflect on what you want to achieve in your life and what values you stand for. Have a look at lifelong learning as well, which I cannot emphasize enough. And remember to always choose the path of fear. Thank you for stepping by!
