This experience, together with her role in executive coaching and organisational development for diverse public and private global organisations such as Fidelity Investments, Spacelabs, Xing, the European Central Bank, the European Investment Bank, the EU Court of Justice and Henri Tudor, has convinced Isabel of the need for deep change in the practice of leadership and management. Introduced to Otto Scharmer’s work at MIT through the director of Centro Ecológico, Akumal during a voluntary consulting partnership in Mexico, Isabel has been engaged since 2010 in virtual learning with Otto through the Presencing Institute and personally in Paris and Boston. She teaches this work to students and professionals in the context of the Social Enterprise Course, part of the Certificate of Sustainability delivered by the University of Luxembourg.

“Paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally” – John Kabat-Zinn
Mindfulness is about developing attention. It is about living fully the present. It is about being, before any doing.
Sometimes we get in our way, because we’re too attached to our past failures. Or, we move too fast towards the future, without having observed where we really are in the present. Our body is always with us, but our thoughts are often somewhere else. Sometimes we lose a real connection with our environment, family, friends, community, clients. Sometimes we lose a true connection with ourselves, our values, ideas, projects, objectives.
Mindfulness brings us back to the present moment, to ourselves. It starts from within, and spreads all around. When we are aware, and we live in the present moment, then we’re able to bring out the best of ourselves. We don’t hurry, or worry. We observe and listen more attentively. We don’t judge with old lenses, but experience with a beginner’s mind. We don’t escape or avoid, but we accept and become able to move on with a new understanding, and with less stress and burdening.
Mindfulness grows on a 2,500 years old tradition of meditation, and its positive impact is now supported by many decades of academic research. First applied with extreme success to support patients experiencing depression and anxiety, it has been found to have a valuable impact also in different areas. Companies like Google, Unilever, The Huffington Post, Patagonia, and entrepreneurs in the Silicon Valley, developed mindfulness programs to improve not just well-being, but also communication, trust, interactions, decision making, creativity.

Ask most people what they think PR is and they reply, “it’s your company’s image to the outside world”. They are wrong. Some say, “I don’t need to do any PR, my work speaks for itself”. Wrong again. Proactive manipulation of how you are perceived both professionally and personally is a challenge few consider and even fewer achieve. Are you even sure of how you are perceived by your contacts, clients, friends, employees, suppliers, stakeholders?
In an environment of limited budgets and even less time, all of us need to reach the maximum relevant audience, using channels that work with the right distribution frequency. Too little and our message is lost in the noise. Too much and our audience switches off.
This session will help you answer
· How is your business perceived now?
· What are your PR goals?
· What are your key messages?
· Is the Luxembourg media worth it?
We will also have some Case Examples (Both successes and failures) after all “The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.” – Henry Ford

The Impactory is the launchpad that many Luxembourg start-ups had been searching for. Let’s hope that the new Luxembourg government follows the initiative by reducing the painful level of bureaucracy on new businesses. I found the Impactory myself after searching for office space for a client.

Bring one ingredient or a small dish to share with everyone and have good talks with great people! The salad lunch is an informal way to get together and get to know each other better. It’s also a fun metaphor of collaboration: each ingredient brought by each person tastes better when mixed up together.
Amenez un ingrédient ou un petit plat à partager avec tous et menez de bonnes conversations avec des gens exceptionnels! Ce déjeuner est une manière informelle de se rassembler et d’apprendre à se connaître. C’est également une métaphore de la collaboration: chaque ingrédient amené et ajouté à la salade a meilleur goût lorsqu’il est mélangé aux autres.

On April 17th at Lunch time, Hannah, an independent consultant having previously worked at the World Bank and managed a microfinance bank in Congo DRC and Kaspar, CEO or the Luxembourg Microfinance and Development Fund will engage in a discussion on the evolution of this “poster-child” social sector.
Half of the adults in the world do not have access to adequate financial services (loans, savings, transfers and insurance). Microfinance started as a charity activtiy by giving people access to small credit to finance their income generating activities. Today several microfinance institutions have balance sheets in excess of USD 1 billion and offer a wide range of competitive products and services to well over 200 million clients.

Event management for Impactory Info & Welcome Session powered by Eventbrite
Save the date. On April 17th at Lunch time, Hannah, an independent consultant having previously worked at the World Bank and managed a microfinance bank in Congo DRC and Kaspar, CEO or the Luxembourg Microfinance and Development Fund will engage in a discussion on the evolution of this “poster-child” social sector.
Half of the adults in the world do not have access to adequate financial services (loans, savings, transfers and insurance). Microfinance started as a charity activtiy by giving people access to small credit to finance their income generating activities. Today several microfinance institutions have balance sheets in excess of USD 1 billion and offer a wide range of competitive products and services to well over 200 million clients.
Hannah and Kaspar will trace the evolution of the sector and host an open discussion about their personal involvement and career choices.

“Paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally” – John Kabat-Zinn
Mindfulness is about developing attention. It is about living fully the present. It is about being, before any doing.
Sometimes we get in our way, because we’re too attached to our past failures. Or, we move too fast towards the future, without having observed where we really are in the present. Our body is always with us, but our thoughts are often somewhere else. Sometimes we lose a real connection with our environment, family, friends, community, clients. Sometimes we lose a true connection with ourselves, our values, ideas, projects, objectives.
Mindfulness brings us back to the present moment, to ourselves. It starts from within, and spreads all around. When we are aware, and we live in the present moment, then we’re able to bring out the best of ourselves. We don’t hurry, or worry. We observe and listen more attentively. We don’t judge with old lenses, but experience with a beginner’s mind. We don’t escape or avoid, but we accept and become able to move on with a new understanding, and with less stress and burdening.
Mindfulness grows on a 2,500 years old tradition of meditation, and its positive impact is now supported by many decades of academic research. First applied with extreme success to support patients experiencing depression and anxiety, it has been found to have a valuable impact also in different areas. Companies like Google, Unilever, The Huffington Post, Patagonia, and entrepreneurs in the Silicon Valley, developed mindfulness programs to improve not just well-being, but also communication, trust, interactions, decision making, creativity.
