Do you want to develop professionally or privately and are seeking support? Do you want to take meaningful decisions for yourself or are planning change? We will support you to bring your key development steps into being.
Do you want to stand in your leadership-power and work on eye level with your team? This is both possible and powerful. In times of rapid change, leaders need mental strength and ideally co-create agile, learning teams.
A successful and productive cooperation can emerge, where people are seen in their wholeness, where there is consciousness for good balances and where relationships can grow in depth and strength.
We live in a time of rapid changes and high complexity. We need organisations that unfold their human, self-organised and regenerative potentials. This creates both healthy as well as productive and innovative enterprises that contribute to a sustainable future.
Schirin is a great facilitator and I can definitely recommend working with her. At Testbirds, we strongly believe in self-leadership and self-managing organizations. Shirin embodies these principles and has plenty of knowledge to share around topics of organizational development, company strategy and interpersonal communication. We've invited Schirin to facilitate two workshops with our leadership team already and would be happy to continue working together in the future.
Schirin facilitated in a very democratic, respectful and highly professional manner. It was the best training I had.
Schirin is a very responsive and knowledgable facilitator and trainer with extensive leadership experience, who helped us a lot with understanding the real meaning of change management.
Ich durfte Schirin sowohl als Moderatorin eines mehrtägigen Workshops als auch in einem individuellen Coaching kennenlernen. Durch Schirins große Kompetenz und ihre angenehme Art habe ich in beiden Veranstaltungen sehr wertvolle Denkanstöße erhalten. Für mich war die Arbeit mit ihr ein Erfolg auf ganzer Linie!
Schirin hat uns mit großer Präsenz und Empathie durch den Prozess geleitet. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass sie gelassen mit allem mitgehen konnte, was kommt.
Schirin hat eine besonders ruhige und zurücknehmende Art. Mit gezielten Fragen und ihrer starken Präsenz begleitet Sie dich durch deinen eigenen Prozess. Die Gespräche sind ungezwungen, als ob du mit deinem besten Kumpel sprichst. Für mich waren die Sitzungen mit Schirin sehr hilfreich.
My coaching sessions with Schirin were always something I looked forward too. Her calming nature meant I came away feeling relaxed with a new sense of direction whether it be work or personal related. The attention given to your story allows her to pose some interesting and searching questions which lead you to new paths in life. Schirin is a great coach and a nice person to boot.
Schirin gave me insight into areas of my skills which I`ve never explored before. I felt my confidence rise throughout the day.
Regenerative organizational development is a path toward more vibrant, purpose-driven organizations that not only adapt to change, but act powerfully and sustainably from within.
We invite you to activate your optimal access to your own strengths and competencies through your body. Being in ever more complex working contexts, we prime a connection to your body-wisdom - the intuition.
Agile organisation development is a pathway into more innovative, flexible teams and organisations, closer relationships to clients and faster adaptiveness to changes. It is important to check whether it fits your organisation.
Successful leadership, team work and customer relations all depend on a sound communication. What does it take in order to talk to each other in a clear, appreciative and solution-focused manner?
Our health cannot be separated from our psyche. Inner instinctive processes mainly determine how a person sees the world and acts in it.
What we need today are people who lead with authenticity, take responsibility for strategic decisions, and understand their leadership role as an invitation. Leadership becomes an act of hosting.
Even if change is the only constant in our lives, we sometimes face the task of initiating and implementing change.
It’s been a year and a half since our last blog article on regenerative companies. During that time, we’ve been deeply engaged in the topic of regenerative organizations. We are a research team of seven members of the Agile Organizational Development Guild:
Shirin Groß-Yachkaschi, Carsten Holtmann, Hannes Horn, Thomas Klug, Anke Loose, Claudia Schröder, and Carina Zachariah. In this article, we’d like to share insights from our research journey and summarize the results we’ve gathered.
In the course of our own reflections and learning processes, we came across the topic of regenerative cultures and systems. The perspectives of authors and entrepreneurs with an eco-social, regenerative understanding expand the concept of sustainability into a more holistic worldview. They offer organizational development a concrete mandate: to help co-create regenerative cultures within companies.
Dealing with Existing Attitudes and Behaviors in Organizations: In our final exploration round, we gathered ideas about how we might engage with these attitudes when we want to introduce the topic of sustainability in organizational development (OD).
Since the founding of the Agile Guild, several circles have been established. This is a blog post from the Circle for Sustainability and Organizational Development (NOE)
At first glance probably not much. But like in many cases this may be a question of perspective. In the following, I want to think out loud and make connections visible.
