Keynote for young entrepreneurs on neurobiological and systemic aspects of collaboration. Building strong professional relationships and partnerships has always been the focus of my work. During the last 30 years of my involvement as a manager and coach , the approach I am applying today to manage and train to initiate and sustain collaborations and partnerships has changed significantly. This means, I have come up with a person-centered way of dealing with innovation, entrepreneurship and management processes, leading teams and managing collaboration in organizational, regional and international environments. It includes dealing with resistance, anxieties and change. This is why this presentation will focus on a model of collaboration and innovation processes based on the concept of the human-centered approach by Carl R. Rogers, recent insights into neurobiological findings about the impact of emotions in decision-making processes and the hypnosystemic approach of Milton Erickson and Gunther Schmidt. This presentation has been held in front of young entrepreneurs at the FAME Coaching Day of the Heidelberg Innovation Forum 21. March 2013.
