TeamTalks: Building Bonds

About the Talk

Marco is going to be talking about the Five Pillars of Identity from research by Prof. Dr. Hilarion Petzold and how to use these pillars to prevent crises.

Petzold has a very long definition of what defines 'identity', but luckily he has a shortened version too: identity can be described as the answer to the questions "who am I?" and "who do I belong to?"

Our personalities develop through social relationships in five core areas, each one equals one of the five pillars. As life situations and conversational partners change throughout our lives, the formation of our identity actually never ends.

Want to know how to avoid an identity crisis? Marco will reveal all.

About Marco

Marco is committed to helping medium-sized companies build trusting, resilient relationships in the workplace. He believes that getting these relationships right is the key to helping those businesses solve their challenges.

He does this by providing employees (of the companies he works with) the opportunity to break away from their day-to-day business in order to share their past experiences and also try out new ways of communicating in a controlled environment.

About the Talk

When tasked with finding the answer to the question: "How do I create software in a professional way together with many people?", Danilo first looked for the answer within the computer science industry, then the automotive industry. He now understands that we need to focus a lot more on building relationships. It's as simple as that.

His talk 'Sex, Love, and Leadership' answers questions such as: why do we have such a hard time achieving a fulfilled life? Why are we often dissatisfied and want more? How do relationships work and why are there so few "real" relationships? What does this mean for leadership? And what does that have to do with fulfillment?
