BaselHack – Retrospective and glimpse into the future

It was a real pleasure being part of the BaselHack organizers committee for the last couple of months, collaborating with people from different backgrounds and organizations sharing their skills, talents and connections to make #BaselHack a reality. It was an interesting process that worked out fabulously.

The pre-event Friday before the hack was the first parameter showing us the interest of talents from the region and resulted in having first idea pitches. On Saturday morning the excitement was literally in the air. With a time limit of only 60 seconds.pitching started right after a short introduction with 14 ideas, 11 of them found their teams and work started in full swing.

After the code freeze at 16:00, the transformation of the room on Sunday presentations started at 16:30. Each of the still 11 teams had 5 minutes to present their project, the work done, the challenges encountered in a clear, inspiring and engaging format. It was great to see the sponsors,  data providers from Canton Basel Stadt and other stakeholders, as well as many visitors from our own networks and families.

The first and legendary #BaselHack winning teams are:
1. ClockChain
2. Smart Contacts
3. My side effects

At the same time we have the view that being part of something that is bigger than yourself is a win for everyone involved. In fact everyone wins at a Hackathon: organizers, visitors, jury and all participants – it is just an amazing experience to work together for an intensive period of time – two days (and a night) – to solve problems by creating solutions, many of them with social impact. In this spirit everything created is available for the public at https://github.com/BaselHack

Come and join us next time: With many skills, abilities, competencies and viewpoints in one room it is quite hard to not learn something!

Thank you for EVERYONE`s EFFORT in MAKING this very first #BaselHack happen.

We are determined to continue and stay connected to the new community until BaselHack 2018.

 

The PROJECTS

Group Traffic Squad
Robin Freyburger : Gaël Tugler : Vincent Perrin : Carlo Field : Vivienne Mayer

The team used Radar data from the Canton Basel Stadt for creating a traffic map color-coding danger of speeding cars in the streets In Basel. A very useful application, if you put yourself in the shows of parents looking for a safe way to school for your child. The product is ready for you now, even after processing 16 million data points, that alone took a couple of hours, and overcoming the loss of their front end developer.

Group Beervelopers
Difan Lin : Tobias Würsch : Biraveenmaks Ponnu : Björn Pfoster : Simon Drabert

The group visualized the beer consumption from a beer keybot made available from Adobe for the end consumer and for bars and production lines. Their requirement was to make the app very easy to use. Seeing the amount of beer consumed graphically might make the difference at your next Basler Biermarkt.

Group Blink
Tina Crameri: Ankit Bharthan: Nicolas Barbé: Victor Parmar : Célia Bel

Connecting impaired people with volunteers able and ready to offer rides on a short notice. Covering the gap for organized rides that need to be pre-booked three days in advance. The idea for this app came from an enthusiastic foundation employee from the Canton Solothurn and will enter into service as soon as possible.

Group PubTransViz
Alexander Timmermans : David Barrat . Dominik Stankowski

Visualization of the interconnectivity and access of locations in Basel – useful when you have to go from one location to several others. This application is useful for city planners to see how a new public transportation line would change the interconnectivity in Basel, it is also a help when you search for a location that needs to satisfy several specific access parameters. The product concept was created with data from opendata.Swiss and data from BVB.

Group Smart Contacts     2nd prize
Alexander Boll : Sebastian Fix : Oliver Reist : Thiago Perrini : Richard Strnad : Thomas Baer

Missing data in contact details of smart phones, databases of companies and organizations. Sure that none of us really liking to do the necessary updates, the app makes it very easy and fast, a couple of seconds, and updates become automatic, pushed from the data owner to all of his or her network contacts. The group used design thinking as basics for their team work and started into prototyping only after all parameters were clear.

Group Illumina
Anders Bott : Nuno Soares

The idea was born while cooking: Controlling lights with hand gestures without touching anything and making it dirty. And yes, it is not just about an on and off switch but adjustment of brightness as well. This project idea is different than all others because it was hardware based and actually touchable. The application finds its market in home automation or can also be used in public places, as well as in specific situations where touching is not allowed.

Group Clockchain       1st prize
Dietrich Rordorf : Roland Brand : Priska Burkard : Clemens Bachmair

Exchanging your work for receiving time – Saving the Swiss Retirement System. You could also name it the time stock exchange. The demonstration shows how easy it is to secure transactions between two parties using blockchain technology. But of course, it all takes time.

Group Whitchway
Matthias Cullmann : David Zimmerli : Joel Zimmerli : Christian Hauck

An easy question every day that may sound easy to solve: which way can you get home faster? This app helps you decide in a split second which tram. Real time data is used from SBB BVB.

Group Visual Fish
Christopher Zimmermann : Jen Stehlik : Alen Klaric : Michael Mell : Dirk Dresch

It started with the question on how to automized experiences = Visualizing chat – a fun thing to do! The market for this application is much bigger than you think. Visualizing content created in conferences or innovative event formats could be just as interesting as using it for your entertainment.

Group Basel Inside
Fabrizio Parrillo : Quentin Garnier : Galia Shai : Nicolas Mauchle : Denis Augsburger : Denise Baumann

Visualizing data from different open data sources to browse in a fun way. The society, the people living in Basel, should have access to this data. Browsing the data in an interactive way plays an important role for all stakeholders.

Group My side effect       3rd prize
Philip Pisa : Misgana Negassi : Moritz Freidank : Moritz Rocholl : Tomas Jezek : Abhimanyu Verma : Felix Karg : Monica Ticlla-Ccenhua : Maximilian Roth : Pranika Singh

Web Application and app that allow you to browse the huge medical database about side effects of medicines for your personal characteristics. Like that you can decide which of the side effects you prefer. Actually this problem is the same for doctors.

When you get involved in an activity, that grows into a movement and put your heart into turning it into a community, amazing things happen. Human connection inspires!

Here is the story:

After about a year organizing and holding FuckUp Nights in Basel with my partner Isabelle Valibus, creating an open and diverse community of people sharing their real life stories and what they learned, I decided that it is time to meet like-minded people from other locations.

I am now in Mexico meeting the FuckUp Nights family members in Puerto Morelos. The reason: the 5th birthday of the global movement. Unfortunately all plans changed due to two earthquakes that recently happened in Oaxaca, Chiapas and Mexico City.

So instead of a FuckUp Night in Puerto Morelos, a Bazar con causa was organized by the team here. Knowing first hand from family and friends affected in the regions, the decision was to personally help with what the can.

In the below video interview Niza is personally telling how it happened that so many people donated their services during the 8 hours of the Bazar: Local Mexican Food Specilities, Massage, Cartoonistas, Henna Painting …

Look around you and support each other.
If we all look around us and help the next person, we will all reach.

Niza Mendoza Lafitte

Very early this morning Niza and supporting friends – among them Dejan from FuckUp nights Vienna left with a truckload of things.

Humble and happy to have met Niza – have a very safe trip!

Horrible – I am overqualified

I have been reading from, working with, coaching and support highly qualified people with the skills our businesses need.

At the same time companies claim that they do not find the skills they need.

Something is seriously wrong!

Here is an article from a highly creative person, powerful and driven – I want to share with you today.

TEAM HUMAN

What do you do when you are overqualified?

My story starts with my 5-year search for my dream job. Before starting my narrative, I will provide you with a key piece of information: I have a 5-year gap in my professional career during which I was a flight attendant

How terrible !!!! How can someone change their career path for 5 years to see something else and then come back to the real “professional world”?

At the time, call me naïve; I had no idea that most of the people I would meet would put me in a box, i.e. the “Air Hostess” box, which is so hard to escape. At this point, I feel that it is important for me to provide some perspective to this “most terrible of professions” … being a flight attendant.

It is one of the hardest jobs in the world! You are permanently tired because of the shifts, working on planes is physically exhausting, you have to look good and represent the values of the airline brand at all times. But worst of all, you need to be polite and serve thousands of passengers every month, regardless of their moods, which you can believe me, is often bad. Air travel today is a far cry from the luxurious experience it once was. So, believe me when I tell you that being a flight attendant teaches you customer service on steroids.

After a long period of intensive job searching, finally someone saw my potential, gave me a chance and hired me. I was fortunate, it was a good job and I learnt a lot. Things were moving pretty fast and quite nicely, until the day the company decided to relocate abroad, and sadly, I had to move on.

Since then, I have been doing gazillion interviews … for zero outcome. I have received offers, but they weren’t what I expected.

For 90% of recruiters, the questions were not very original and focused on the following point: how come you became a flight attendant (I didn’t know I had to explain myself so extensively on this matter), and obviously the answer to my explanation was: “well… you don’t have enough experience in your field of expertise and activity! Really??? 5 years out of a 15-year career were putting my professional fate in the balance?

Being seriously downhearted about the lack of progress vis-à-vis job searching, the day finally arrived: I hired a headhunter, I paid a fair amount of money to help me understand what’s wrong with me, my CV, my positioning. The professional analysis that was made on my CV, career, employment track, studies was a surprise to say the least and was quite unexpected.

She simply told me: “You are overqualified! I don’t think even I can imagine the face I made when I answered “WHAT?”

She then explained to me the simple facts of my CV: “You have enough studies to be in different sectors, you are driven, hands on and quite a personality, most of the jobs out there, they demand character and creativity, but in reality, what they really want is someone that sticks to this “bloody” predefined (easy-to-categorize) box and doesn’t seek to get out of it. Your crime is that you did”.

FUN.Basel Vol VIII – Event of your choice

Basel has so many events happening on regular intervals: Wednesdays, Thursday – the days all have specific labels already and I know that there are other events tomorrow night that even I would go to … if there was not a FuckUp Nights Basel.

Thank you so much for your decision to join the conversation about failure! Thank your for the trust in us and your engagement to be part of this cultural shift Isabelle and I are working hard to keep on pushing along here in Basel.

The time our evening was a little different than before – we were all active and a lot of the conversations was circling around this quote:

“Don’t spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door. ”
Coco Chanel

Our special guests and speakers you had the honor to meet were:

Carol Daubney
Looking behind the “How are you? I am fine.” ritual reveals a lot of insights – the corporate executives Carol trains benefit from her deep understanding based on her own experiences.  Her advice:

There is no shame in asking for help!

She touches all of us with her story and the reason why she is really happy to share her story:
“I am doing what I am doing because I wished that someone had told me 20 years ago.”

www.Inspire-hypnotherapy.com

 

Ludovic Pureur
We really enjoyed the story of Ludovic, especially the coaches in our audience who all went to thank him afterwards. Ludovic`s experience in sales & marketing in consumer electronic distribution within European markets and the end of a company lead him to a Start-ups he loves to work for and partly owns today.

Being open and transparent to your employees pays off !

Success requires getting out of our comfort zone – and leads to something better!

Stephanie Boehm
A humble young lady who owns a designer label and 3 shops – despite the cultural and family pressure. She could not find a FuckUp, even searching really hard.

I can only see feedback, don`t you?

Steffy is really passionate about fashion but never a fashion victim. Even though her first stepy did take her to do a Master in Business Administration in Marketing, she never gave up her dream and build up her plan to become a designer.  With lots of experience from the trade working for large companies in retail management before she today knows exactly what she is doing.

“I am nervous now – speaking to your own employees or people you know is different than speaking to a crowd of people who do not know.”

The thin line between the meanings of words

The selection of the words you use to introduce a new product depends on your viewpoint and attitude: it is a discovery, an invention or a creation that happened by accident or because of a failure on the pathway towards your original goal.

A thin line.

How do you interpret the meanings of the words around failure, mistakes and errors? Which ones do you use?

The story of the microwave: Percy Spencer accidently discovered the revolutionary process while experimenting with a new type of vacuum tube called magnetron in 1945. First available for home use in the early 1950s, it was very unpopular because of its bulky size and high price (said to be $5,000). Only in 1967 a 100-volt countertop version was introduced to the market at a price of $495.

Does your company have the ressources to afford such a long time to market these days?

My parents still have the first microwave, no not as a post box. Believe it or not, it is still in use.

It was about that 3.000 Austrian Schillings when it was bought.

I love this particular use of a microwave … my grandfather was working for the Post and would have loved it.

Your answer to this question alone, is the reason for why you should join a FuckUp Night near you.

Auf dem Weg von Norden nach Süden

Mein Körper muss in Bewegung sein, wenn es mein Geist sein soll.

Was verbindet Europa?

Die Motivation und Fragen, die Klaus, meinen Bruder, und Elisabeth, seine Partnerin, antreibt, sich auf den Weg durch Europa von Norden nach Süden gemacht haben. Gestartet sind sie in Rovaniemi Finland, das Zuhause von Santa Claus.

Striding across europe north 2 south
<Eine Pause einlegen, in den Leerlauf schalten, ausrollen, stehenbleiben, sich umsehen, zurückblicken, nach vor schauen … Gedanken, die mir seit einiger Zeit durch den Kopf gehen.>

Einige Ausschnitte, die in meinen Gedanken als Zuhörer und Mitverfolger hängen geblieben sind:

Auf dem Weg gibt es Geschenke allein für dieses Ansinnen, wenn bereitwillige erklärt … Pflaumen.

Fragen zum Bildungswesen sind immer Teil der Gespräche mit Wegbegleitern und lokaler Bewohnern.

Begleitet von den Renntieren:
Will man die Renntiere rechts überholen, laufen sie mehr rechts.
Will man die Renntiere links überholen, laufen sie mehr links.

Hier ein paar Links zum Nachhören – ich muss zugeben, ich habe mich in der Numerierung bereits verloren – mein Hirn und funktiont nach Themen einfach besser. Nach dem Nachhören der nächsten Etappe, habe ich es jetzt verstanden: es geht um die geplanten Tagesetappen!

Extremely tired and extremely happy

I am so thankful for having had the honor to be the amplifyer for such an important movement: the SUGAR AWARENESS WEEK brought to you by Puricious!! ❤️❤️❤️

After 2 highly intense weeks

Sabine Van T Hart is so driven to get the knowledge people need to decide for a healthy sugarless lifestyle. I really enjoy supporting this mission, I actually feel that it is my duty to do so.

It is not the chocolate, the cockies and the icecream, we know that this is sugar  – it is the hidden sugars, the fact that almost everything we buy has sugar inside which we are not aware of. This is the trap we all fall into. We do not want YOU to fall into this TRAP.

Thank you so much for listening and reading about the facts about sugar. It was so great to see the feedback rolling in, check how many people saw the materials created and followed into the course with a highly professional 360° Analysis what the sum of all sugars we take per day does to our body.

Sabine was working non-stop to answer all the questions and personally receive the wonderful feedback. Yes, I am speaking about several hundreds of emails, phone calls and other social contacts points – Sabine was soooo happy and of course so extremely tired that it took some time to recuperate from this intense time.

Enjoying a sugary treat after catching up with sleep

Can you see the difference on the fotos?

Since you know now that I myself have ditched sugar with Sabine, I can only recommend to take a helping hand and not try to do this alone.

I am like this … I always think that I need to have the self -discipline to do “this” myself … does this sound familiar to you?

The fact is that our brains are tricking us and if you do not know in advance what shape and form these tricks can take, you are doomed.

A guiding hand to reduce your sugar intake is the best way … I wish you had Sabine on your side to do this together!!

She does not only have the expertise, she has the experience of having guided 378 clients from all around the worldwide (yes, from a distance) on HOW TO REDUCE SUGAR … and seen incredible HEALTH TRANSFORMATIONS happen in as little as 10 days.

She has the heart and soul needed to support you in your journey in a soft and at the same time determined way as no one else has.
Thank you Sabine for being who you are.

[SILVER] 10-Day Sugar Rehab program

[PREMIUM] 10-Day Sugar Rehab program

What is the difference between them?

Depending on how much support you need for the changes and how you feel comfortable in your learning process, the program levels reflect the personal contact hours you have with the resources and of course, Sabine and Marco from Puricious.

There will be a Webinar for answering questions about exactly this point and we will make sure to post the invitation to it here.

Here is the WEBINAR LINK …

See you there

FUN.Basel Vol VII – celebrating …

 … the 1st Anniversary with our community

The heat was on. For the occasion and the temperature. Despite the hot weather we were about 50 people, previous speakers, regulars and new comers, gathered at Launchlabs. We had the honor of having the CEO and owner of Launchlabs among us this time and could personally say how grateful we are for being hosted in such a wonderful location..

Cool that you all came, thank you very much for making it to be with us, especially on that day.

Chapeau to our speakers, thank you for sharing your stories:

Andreas Erbe
Andreas is an innovation consultant and coach specializing in work environments. He enjoys working on agile, space-related projects and so decided four years ago to found launchlabs in Basel to pursue his passion for creating spaces for innovation. His lesson:

Do not trust the four Fs !

He shared with us some of the situations where you are not sure what you were not able to foresee this. The feeling I got was that it is still worth the challenges and pains you have to overcome as an entrepreneur. He calls his “launchlabs – the place where shit happens. Oh, yes, and innovation”.

Launchlabs Basel

Sabine Van T Hart
Born in the Netherlands, growing up in Australia, finding the love of her life in Italy, now living in Switzerland, She shared her ‘Cookie monster’ story the first time in public. Her friends are still amazed how she made it from her marketing career to start her health coaching business ‘Puricious’.

Do not take your health for granted !

Sabine was our speaker during the SUGAR AWARENESS WEEK, a campaign she and her husband Marco were running to share facts about the effect on sugar in our bodies.

This is an extremely hot topic these days and FUN.Basel was happy to be support it with our community.

www.puricious.com

 

Steve Rocco
Sustainability is important to him and a word he uses often –  he is really passionate about investments that make an impact for our societies. He co-founded and worked at Mission Markets in New York, a pioneering fintech startup focused on capital raising for impact companies and funds.

Be aware that you are jumping without a parachute.

He said he fucked up so many times that it will be difficult to decide which story to share. It is also quite hard to give you a glimpse into the story he shared. What happens in Launchlabs, … is definitely worth joining.

www.mspartners.org

A question from our Q&A sessions, we are interested to share with you:

Do you only learn from mistake you did yourself or can you also learn from mistakes others made? 

Let us know in an email or the comments below.

We are looking forward to see you on September 6, 2017

There is Sugar in everything

We all know that sugar is not good for us. Besides posing a serious health threat, sugar is the #1 obstacle to achieving a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

What most people do not know: there is (hidden) sugar in almost everything we buy. It is very difficult to recognize sugar because of the 45 different names used.

YES, there are 45 different names for sugar.

I am so happy that I am not a sugar junkie anymore. It was really a struggle to change, it almost felt like an addiction of my body.

Thanks to Marco and Sabine from Puricious Health Coaching.  It is not only fun and impactful to work with them. They are on this planet to spread the real facts about sugar so that we regain the choice we think we had.

Paired with the wide spread echo of their Sugar Rehab Programs, repeatedly asked by their clients and friends, they decided to go all out now and created the

Zucker – was viele nicht wissen

Wir wissen alle, dass Zucker schlecht für uns ist. Zucker ist nicht nur ein ernstes Problem für unsere Gesundheit. Er ist Nummer 1 Hindernis, für einen ausgeglicheneren Lebensstil, den wir jeden Tag spüren können.

Was die meisten nicht wissen: (versteckter) Zucker findet sich in fast allem, was wir kaufen. Es ist fast unmöglich geworden, ihn zu erkennen, das 45 verschiedene Bezeichnungen verwendet werden.

JA, es gibt 45 verschiedene Bezeichnungen für Zucker.

Ich bin sehr froh, dass ich kein Zucker-Junkie mehr bin. Ich kann tatsächlich in einer Konditorei sitzen und verspüre keine Lust auf ein Stück Torte oder ähnliches. Ich fühle mich richtig befreit!

Das verdanke ich Marco und Sabine von Puricious Gesundheit-Coaching. Es war nicht nur sehr motivierend und lustig, mit ihnen zu arbeiten. Vor allem hatte es eine nachhaltige Wirkung. Für mich ist Nachhaltigkeit das Zauberwort für jede Veränderung. Es wird oft versprochen, aber selten wirklich geboten. Die meisten Leute wollen einen Quick Fix – den es in hier (und in vielen anderen Bereichen) leider nicht gibt.

Jeder, der schon einmal allein versucht hat, eine Nahrungsumstellung zu schaffen, weiss wie (fast) unmöglich das ist. Marco und Sabine sind berufen, die Wahlfreiheit, die wir denken zu haben, tatsächlich zu geben. Der Schlüssel ist zu wissen, wo man beginnt und welche Hindernisse einem sein eigener Körper in den Weg stellt, warum und wie man ihnen begegnen kann.

“Diese Aufklärung ist Gold wert” sagen ihre Klienten.

Immer wieder wurden sie gebeten, dieses Wissen doch an ein breiteres Publikum weiter zu geben. Nun ist es soweit:

Machen Sie mit – schreiben Sie sich ein – die erste sehr praktische, persönlich ansprechende und von Experten unterstütze Informationskampagne in Europa:

SUGAR AWARENESS WEEK

#FreeFromSugar #DitchSugarTogether

Genau zum richtigen Zeitpunkt, denn im Sommer ist die Versuchung überall: zuckerhaltige kalte Getränke, Frappucinos, Fruchtsäfte und küstliches kühles Eis warten an jeder Ecke auf uns.

Schreiben Sie sich ein! In der SUGAR AWARENESS WEEK vom 17 – 24 Juni 2017 erhalten Sie für 8 Tage lang KOSTENLOS

• Rezepte für köstliche zuckerfreie Gerichte
• Wissensquizze
• Informationen und Ratschläge von Experten

• … und viele Interview und Artikel zum Nachlesen

Als TeilnehmerIn an dieser WOCHE DER INSPIRATION erfahren Sie, wie sie sich mit der Effizienten Methode von Puricious schrittweise Zucker reduzieren können.

Zeit ist wohl der wichtigste Faktor in all unserem Leben geworden. Sie haben keine Zeit mehr für Zusätzliches? Genau darum liefert Puricious Ihnen das Wissen über Zucker, Aktionen zum Mitmachen und die Interviews kompakt und einfach zum Nachhören und Nachlesen.

SCHREIBEN SIE SICH JETZT EIN und starten sie auf den Weg in eine zuckerfreiere Zukunft.

Jutta

Wishing you inspiring conversations

I remember my first trip to Sweden, excited to meet the Scandinavian community of high class educators: IT educators at schools and universities crossing all knowledge levels and ages learning about cutting edge technology for our (increasingly) smart societies.

I very much enjoyed the vibrant climate and inspirational conversations with nice, competent and young students as well as their teachers. I would go again any time.

The coming days Kane Minkus is coming your way,

Har du koll på Kane?

This foto shows Kane the way I know him: open, direct, full of humor and respectful and in this combination a very inspiring and motivating individual.

You can not eat cheesecake :-(

If you love cheese cake like me, you are in pain right now.

Are you seeing this beautiful and yummy cake and the recipe below?

I am so happy to be able to tell you, confirm you, sign a certificate to your significant other … that this cake is sugar-free and vegan.

Even better it does not have dairy (which I should not eat) nor additives like in most conventional cheesecakes.

This recipe is for you,
… the only reservation: if you are allergic to nuts!

Sabine from Puricious was so nice to allow us to share it with you. A massive thank you!!!

Here is what she writes:

The car that was not a car

or … getting into the driver seat!

I think we all know this … feeling like you are not in the driver seat of life.

Is someone else driving?

Is some kind of robot controlling the direction (and you do not find the Stop button)?

Are the circumstances or things in your environment controlling the car?

Whatever it is in your life – I recommend you to get out of it and start creating your own reality.

What difference can I make?

Dear all,

We always think that what one person decides does not really make a whole lot of difference to others in the world.

Since I can think, I have always been taking a different stand motivating others to use their voice and let the world know and felt very frustrated that it was not really inspiring people to do so.

Doing this in a not-so-digital world, before our current times, was not that easy, because the person who stands out and up for what he or she believes in was often alone against the crowd. Swimming against the current.

I am so glad that these times are over.

The voices and weights of all the one persons are now coming together. Like this we can change the world.

Yes, we can.

I just received a letter from Ricken Patel. He is the founder of http://www.Avaaz.org – my deepest respect and honor for your work, Ricken.

Avaaz is a 44-million-person global campaign network that works to ensure that the views and values of the world’s people shape global decision-making. (“Avaaz” means “voice” or “song” in many languages.) Avaaz members live in every nation of the world; our team is spread across 18 countries on 6 continents and operates in 17 languages. Learn about some of Avaaz’s biggest campaigns here, or follow us on Facebook or Twitter.

There are no better words to explain everyone of YOU the weight of YOUR VOICE.

Inspirational regards

Jutta

 

Dear Avaaz movement,

I have a crazy confession to make. I started Avaaz, and I don’t sign many petitions.

I always think, “yeah, but what difference is my one extra signature going to make?” I feel like I have more important things to do, like making sure our petitions are powerfully delivered.

But wow, am I glad the rest of us don’t think this way. Because while it’s true that the 1,137,540th signature doesn’t by itself change the game, the whole million of them absolutely can. And the whole million is just a million individual people hoping, believing and acting. Doing *their* part, however small, to make a better world. Without people who make that individual choice, our movement would not exist.

So much of life is like this. Any one of us could be the one person to skip the line, or not vote, or lie on our taxes, or turn away from a neighbour in need. But we don’t. Why?

Because it’s who we are. Because it’s the right thing to do. Because we were raised to love and serve. Because we know what a dark world it would be if everyone failed to do their part.

I’ve always been awed by the decency of the people in this movement. You teach me again and again. And in reflecting on this question of why we sign, I come back to my own behaviour. And I pledge to sign more. To be part of that simple act of connection to others, in hope, service, and that precious kind of strength that we can only find together.

Click below to see and join a global, multilingual live chat of our movement about why each of us sign (and message, share, call, lobby, donate, march). These times call for all of us to step up to the needs of our communities and our world – let’s inspire each other to service:

Why we sign

I know many of us are moved by seeing the list of names of others who have signed scroll by on the petition page. I am too. Look for my name there.

With gratitude for this stunningly beautiful movement,

Ricken and the team

PS – Of course, our petitions are just the beginning of our campaigns — and Avaaz runs some of the most effective, strategic, don’t take no for an answer, never say die campaigns in the world! I know many of us only see a campaign at its beginning. See our victories page to see what it looks like at the end.

One of a Kind Expert

It was about a year ago that I first met Kane Minkus in a short introduction event in Basel. As a digital expert I always remember where I got to know about the event – I clicked on a Linkedin ad. Really good that Linkedin knew I was in Basel at that time. 🙂

Long story short:
Since the first time I spoke to Kane a year ago lots of changes happened. First of all personal development led me to take decisions differently. Most of all the incredible network and people I am now connected and collaborate with.

… No, it is not just about taking fotos with famous people – here I am with Kevin Harrington, the guy from the US Television  Show Shark Tank. I did have the opportunity to speak with Kevin in person and enjoyed meeting him.

I want to express my joy that I know Kane and Alessia who you will get to meet if you join them at the next upcoming “Start At The Top” program.

Yes, they are coming again to Switzerland and Yeah !! Germany & Austria as well. Here are the dates and time – just click on the pic or your city and sign up for the FREE event.

• Geneva
• Lausanne
• Basel
• Zurich
• Munich
• Vienna

It is so much worth your time and it will change your life.

A little MORE about Kane

Kane & the Industry Rockstar team have been teaching the worlds brightest business owners how to really make a difference and create a legacy in their industry.

With 30 years old he had launched over 24 different companies, taking 5 of them to multi million dollar and multi international success. Learning a few things from a guy like that is an opportunity you should not let pass by.

At the same time he stayed a person you can talk to – it is so much fun to see him on stage and work with him.

Will I meet you in the Industry Rockstar Community of Holistic Entrepreneurs and Business Owners soon?

All the best

Jutta

FUN.Basel Vol VI – Finding …

Easter Edition 11.4.2017 

I really enjoyed this particular #FuckUpNight‬ Basel‬ at Launchlabs. Here are my reasons why

• the 3 stories were all presented in a really funny way by exceptional speakers
• we really enjoy this great location = Launchlabs is the space for creative event formats that strive to introduce new ways of thinking. A huge thanks to our hosts.
• we had a great crowd of newcomers and repeated delinquents. Thank you all for coming!

A huge Thank you goes to our speakers  – they are a crucial factor for setting the spirit of the evening.

Thank you … for sharing your stories:

Raluca Popescu
Passionate about teaching, behavioral economics, design thinking. She is learning to be comfortable with not having a clear answer when asked “what she’s going to do with her life”.

If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.

She holds an MSc in Strategic Marketing and has worked in a variety of environments, including two universities, a multinational corporation, a service design consultancy and a start-up incubator. In her story she reflected about the situation when the application for a dream job failed.

 

Ralf Dümpelmann
Optimist by heart and Chemical Engineer ETHZ by profession. Expert for innovative analytical methods that help you improve your product development.

Running his own company Inolytix Ltd and supporting innovation and entrepreneurs at BaselArea.swiss in the field of Micro, Nano and Materials
www.inolytix.com

What is the one thing in your life?

Ralf is describing a not unusal situation, completely clear – many people can put themselves in the same shoes: realizing that one person can not change an entire company.
We still try!

 

 

Sandra van de Cauter
Based upon decades of experience coaching corporate executives at all levels to connect with themselves and their audiences, Sandra has helped countless people with their communication
www.sandravandecauter.ch

It is ok to share what you know.

Sandra just published her book:
Get clear – Craft and deliver impactful presentations worth hearing

It is a book to read in an evening (not a book with 500 pages that stays in the bookshelve). Thanks for the insights – here is where you can get it

 

A note for us all

Becoming visible with your expertise is definitely not something easy. The challenges we face today demand that we all stop hiding. We need to have each others backs and come together as a community to solve the problems of our societies.

Be part of this community!
We are looking forward to see you soon – June 22, 2017
