That’s why we equip the next generations of leaders in research (& beyond) with an opportunity to reflect on their purpose and goals, as well as providing them with effective tools and the space for informal exchange. 🤝The Fellows of the Leadership Academy are currently meeting for the second time at Klaus Tschira Stiftung in Heidelberg. What has happened so far: ➡️Updates: Quite a few new jobs were started, grants written, applications sent (and one fellow and their team became Norwegian champion in sailing!) ➡️Leadership as Dialogue:  ✅How to ask good questions and listen (!) in different leadership situations ✅Lateral Leadership  ✅Fellow Verena Claudia Haage (co-founder of SciLead ) led a case clinic ➡️Positive Irritation: We learned more about #OutsiderArt and its (neglected) impact on art history and the perspective on psychiatry at Sammlung Prinzhorn. ➡️The rules - and the unspoken rules - when applying to professorships in Germany with Prof. Dr. Hubert Detmer of Deutscher Hochschulverband (DHV). ➡️And later Mighty Real will expand the comfort zone of the fellows when reflecting on presence and their reception by others. 📣Stay tuned for more and follow us to learn about the next call in early 2025! _______________ The Leadership Academy is a funding program for German-speaking early-stage and mid-career researchers of all disciplines and is made possible by the support of Klaus Tschira Stiftung. #LSA8 #GSO #GSOLA #LeadershipAcademy

In fall 2025, Trevecca will introduce its second Ph.D. program with the launch of a Doctor of Philosophy in leadership studies. https://ow.ly/FiCz50Upva0.

I am not yet a Dr. Yes, but do I feel like one? Of course, after getting two nominations in two years for honorary doctorate degree, I should feel like one. Hello, it's not about the title now, it's about the vision. The other day I talked about the gift of men and how vision is the only sustainable bait to getting people commit to you without feeling bad. The gut to not panic after my inability to claim one at least of the two nominations, speaks volume of my believe in the fact that, as long as I remain honest living a visionary life, honours will keep coming. You have not arrived when you have titles, it is when without titles you are valuable and this is what I call, "AUTHENTIC MANIFESTATION," the theme of Vision Board Conference 2025. Come and learn how to manifest the authentic you! selar.co/VBC_Authentic (take action for a life of fulfilment) 2025 is going to be a great year for those who prepare for it.

A study found that the most productive age in human life is 60-70 years old. The 2nd is from 70-80. The 3rd is from 50-60. The average age of NOBEL PRIZE winners is 62. Of CEOs of prominent companies is 63 years. N.Engl.J .Med. May 8th 1986. A book review also published in N. Engl J.Med found at age 60, you reach the TOP of your potential and this continues into your 80s. Therefore, if you are 60-70 or 70-80 you MAY have the BEST and 2nd best opportunity in your life to produce meaningful accomplishments that can leave a lasting positive legacy!

Best invest in Building Fusion power, space, and maritime propulsion systems and industry, You talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical generation is a promising innovative sustainable and clean energy method. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real, https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

Imagine if Cinderella's fairy tale wasn't about losing a shoe, but about an academy that boasts an open door—so wide that anyone could stroll in, take a seat at the King's table, and then swipe some glass slippers on the way out. Welcome to Greenwich Academy, my alma mater, a place that prides itself on openness. Ah, openness—a term that's become as flexible as yoga pants in a hot room. Let's take a gander: - **Transparency in Education**: All are welcome, every opinion counts. You can practically hear the kumbayas. It's like the Hogwarts of candid conversation. - **Student Voices Encouraged**: Imagine letting every player score in a soccer game. Everyone's a winner, right? Participation trophies for all! Predict the future? Sure. This open-door policy is like throwing confetti in the wind—a beautiful chaos, full of colors but ultimately scattered. As we venture into these halls of open discourse: - Expect a toasty marshmallow campfire of diverse ideas, probably with someone trying to roast a marshmallow with a laser pointer, just because they can. - Imagine students with the superpower to question authority but armed with phrases like respectfully disagree. Debate club central! Yet, beyond the jest and the pixie dust of open-minded idealism: - Could this openness mature into confusion? Like giving a shipload of GPS devices to sailors without a map. Sure, they’ll never get lost, just nowhere. - Will inclusivity stifle exclusive rigor? Let's say if everyone’s an Einstein in the circle, who gets the Nobel? To sum it up, think of Greenwich Academy as an experiment in quantum education; simultaneously brilliant and chaotic. They're a living, breathing Schrödinger's cat—alive with potential but perhaps wavering in the execution. #Openness #Education #GreenwichAcademy #Transparency #IdealsInEducation #FutureLeaders https://lnkd.in/emdgfXDV
