Always asked myself, if I can be happy …always? As an entrepreneur you are in the natural habit of optimizing all aspects of a project so why don’t optimize your life? After many years of learning about what makes us happy, I think it is only a transient state. But maybe we can feel even better … when we are in Flow! Flow is the state of consciousness in which we forget space and time, are maximally happy, motivated and efficient. In this state, we feel our best and achieve the most. What do we need to achieve this flow? Why is it so important for founders and managers? I talk about this in the podcast with editor Elena Todeva Listen in and share your best flow moments. #flow #flowmoment #success #performance #motivation #alignment #leadership #newwork #startup #vc #entrepreneurship

Turning 30, am I still a young entrepreneur? 🎉 As I celebrated my 30th birthday this month, I am filled with gratitude for the journey so far and excitement for the future. Growing up in Berlin, with a part of my family arriving in Germany from Africa in various generations and another German part, my upbringing has always been a blend of diverse cultures and experiences. This background sparked my early interest in social justice, diversity, and Afro-German relations, and showed me the power and importance of embracing similarities while celebrating our differences in order to create spaces of belonging for everyone. 📖 One of the most valuable lessons I've learned over these thirty years is that being “different” is not a weakness, but a strength. It fuels our creativity, drives innovation, and fosters empathy. It’s this belief that has inspired me to co-found AiDiA - Afrodeutscher Startup Pitch - creating opportunities and spaces for migrant founders that I did not have. But it's not only about change for founders who are already in the space. Development is constant, and to keep it rolling, we have to uplift the ones that come after us. In that spirit, we created a programme aiming to uplift the next generation of entrepreneurs and changemakers. 📢 I proudly share the Young Entrepreneurs Club. A programme specifically aiming to educate and enable migrant people between 16 and 23 for their entrepreneurial journey. So Young Entrepreneurs, watch out! And not-so-young Allies, kindly share with those you want to see prosper: _____ 🚀  AiDiA Young Entrepreneurs Club 👨‍🚀 Are you ready to take control of your future and turn your dreams into reality? ✨ Join the Young Entrepreneurs Club by AiDiA - Afrodeutscher Startup Pitch and SNIPES! 🔥 In our interactive workshops, you'll dive into the world of entrepreneurship, receive tips from real professionals, and get personalised coaching. 💪🏾 Whether you already have a business idea, are a student, or just curious – discover your potential within an empowering community.

A very good overview Frederic Pampus, thank you for sharing. Great to see that also Lohmann GmbH & Co. KG is part of this list. Venture Clienting is not restricted to large corporations, also Lohmann Group, a more than 170-years old family business is evolving and with our Lohmann Innovation Hub, we are building innovation ecosystems and value chains, foster partnerships and provide support, resources and mentorship for start-ups and scale-ups. This enables us to scale new ideas in a fast way and evaluate new business models in a steadier manner. We understand the needs of start-ups, we are familiar with a lean start-up mindset and have the ambition to co-design and built a better business with our partners. As a family business, we appreciate trust and respect as core values. Quite some time ago, we have started with open innovation initiatives and hosted our own start-up challenge. But later, we took the decision to do the next step in this evolution. The Lohmann Innovation Hub is our "fast breeder" for hot topics in Technology, Sustainability and Digitalisation. We want to go BEYOND! For more details check: https://lnkd.in/eG7iSXGP https://lnkd.in/euKBTKcF #innovation #sustainability #digitalisation #beyond
