Réunion des entreprises familiales

Les entreprises familiales existent dans chaque pays et constituent peut-être la plus ancienne forme d’organisation de sociétés dans le monde entier.

Espaces oubliés

When talking about the garden project with different people in our region, I received an invitation to an event about “Espaces oubliés” (forgotten places) in Perpignan.

It was a really interesting experience, because the presentations from local associations were inspiring and for me a practical lesson on cultural behaviour and thinking.

The commonalities of all initiatives are:

Jardinage européen

Nous avons commencé un nouveau projet de partenariat européen d’apprentissage il y a quelques semaines avec les institutions de l’Italie, du Pays des Galles, la Lettonie, la Grèce, l’Allemagne, le Portugal.

Les partenaires combinent des compétences très différentes, car ce sont des sociétés de conseil privées, organisations à but non lucratif, les fournisseurs d’éducation des adultes, centres de formation professionnelle, une école de la deuxième chance. Ils sont tous situés dans les zones rurales.

500,000 Free Downloads

Since more than ten years we are writing and publishing books about open source software, mainly about Joomla and Drupal.

We started with Pearson Education Germany, with whom we have had for many years a good partnership.

Many years ago, we decided to publish while writing, which was supported by Pearson Education Germany to a certain extend.

However, times are changing, and the publishing industry is not changing that fast, until today.

Since two years we are a publisher by ourselves.

meeting Kaunas

Family business meeting in Kaunas

I am just back from the family business project meeting in Kaunas. We are running this project since one year and the aims, as described here, are to assess the situation, needs and competencies of small family driven businesses in our region and to connect them with other small businesses in Europe, namely in Lithuania, Latvia, Wales and Turkey.

We started with researching the situation of such small businesses in each of these countries.

Love, Peace & Leadership

Introduction

Leadership – is the art to support and encourage others to achieve common goals.

Good leaders are enablers, helping people and organizations to perform, develop and master changes.

Leadership requires strong emotional intelligence and empathy to reflect people’s needs and necessary changes. Reality shows that this is easier to understand than to apply in practice.

The acting, direction and success of organizations depend decisively on the competencies and maturity of those people who are in power.

The need to belong

Individual versus group needs and where do I fit in?

The Joomla Day New England was the second Joomla Day I attended and the first where I gave a presentation. It seems that I hit the nail with my topic as there were lively discussions during and after my session and I was asked to write everything down.

So here it is 😉
