than seven years and in 450 episodes, we have talked to well over
500 people about how their work has changed and what still needs to
change. We are absolutely certain that it is important to do so
right now. After all, the idea of “New Work” was developed during a
real crisis. How can we look to the future with more optimism in
the face of current challenges? Why do we need to talk 'with' the
“Global South” and not 'to' the Global South? And what exactly can
we learn from the 90 percent of young people worldwide who all live
in the Global South? We are looking for methods, role models,
experiences, tools and ideas that will help us get to the heart of
New Work! In addition, we have been dealing with the question from
the very beginning of whether everyone can really find and live
what they really, really want at heart. You are at “On the Way to
New Work” in collaboration with Zoomer Meets Boomer with Payal
Arora and Oskar and Michael Trautmann.
