In dieser Folge spreche ich mit meiner Freundin und Ko-Autorin Bettina Rollow über die innere Dimension ihrer Tätigkeit als Organisationsentwicklerin und Coach. Wie nimmt sie ihre Kunden, Mitarbeiter und Teams, wahr? Was versteht sie unter „emergenter Facilitation“, einem Prozess, der auf keinen festen Endpunkt hinarbeitet? Welche Kompetenzen braucht sie ihrerseits um Unternehmen dabei zu begleiten, lebendiger, effektiver und potentialorientierter zu werden? Diese und andere Fragen stehen im Mittelpunkt unser spannenden Exploration.

Hanno Burmester, unser Gesprächspartner in dieser neuen Folge von Being Underwater, beschäftigt sich auf vielen verschiedenen Ebenen mit Transformation: angefangen mit seinem persönlichen Entwicklungsprozess, für den sein Coming Out ein wesentlicher Schritt war, reflektiert er, welche inneren Veränderungen in der Unternehmenswelt und in der deutschen politischen Landschaft notwendig sind, damit unsere Gesellschaft fähig ist, die drängenden existentiellen Fragen zu beantworten.

Tina Egolf hat viele Gesichter. Nach ihrer Tätigkeit als Head of Product beim Femtech Unternehmen Clue beschäftigte sie sich intensiv mit der Zukunft der Arbeit. Mittendrin entdeckte sie ihre Leidenschaft für Live Action Role Plays - Rollenspiele, in denen Charaktere oft über Jahre fiktive Geschichten spielen. Für Tina sind Rollenspiele aber weit mehr als gute Unterhaltung - sie entwickelt so genannte Second Selves, um vernachlässigte oder weitgehend unbewusste Aspekte ihrer Persönlichkeit zu erforschen. In unserem Gespräch erzählt Tina wie sie anfing ihre Schattendynamiken und frühen Ängste zu bearbeiten und welche Themen und Grenzen sie im Rolllenspiel auslotet. Wir sprechen aber auch über das Erebus Projekt, in dem sie Rollenspiele für psychologische Entwicklungsarbeit einer breiteren Bevölkerungsgruppe zugänglich macht und wieso wir in der digitalen Fragmentierung mehr denn je an uns selbst arbeiten müssen.

In dieser Folge, der ersten auf deutsch, spricht Joana mit Patricia Thielemann, Yoga-Lehrerin, Unternehmerin und Autorin. Auf der Suche nach einer inneren Heimat entdeckt Patricia, damals noch als Schauspielerin in Los Angeles lebend, eine kraftvolle Yogaform. Diese entwickelte sie weiter und unterrichtet sie seither in ihren drei Yogastudios in Berlin und in Workshops auf der ganzen Welt. Nachdem sie sich lange unter Druck gesetzt hat “die Wahrheit an sich” zu finden, geht es Patricia mittlerweile darum, “ihre eigene Wahrheit” zu finden und glaubwürdig zu leben. Wir sprechen über ihre heutige innere Praxis und wie es dazu kam, dass sie sich jüngst mehr dem christlichen Glauben zuwendet, der davon ausgeht, das jeder das Licht in sich trägt und in seiner ganzen Brüchigkeit willkommen ist. Wir erforschen, was Konzepte wie “Gott”, “Seele” und “Raum halten” bedeuten und wie sich die Yogapraxis in der Corona-Zeit verändert hat.

In this mini episode, Joana talks with Ben Mason about the book Stealing Fire. The conversation turns to questions of how we as humans can work together to accomplish tasks, and if we do this simply from a place of efficiency, or also from a place of connection and empathy. Joana and Ben go into some of the inspiring parts of the book, for example how new methods of working together rely on developing high levels of intuition, and also on some of the parts that really disturb them.

In the first season we interviewed people about their inner life and the tools they use to understand themselves. We discussed their relationship to spirituality, creativity, communication, with a particular interest in how these topics fit in an increasingly digital world. To launch the second season of being underwater we wanted to try something new. In this episode we went back to our first guest Ben Mason, and talked to him about what had changed or maybe stayed the same since our first conversation. We go deeper into his relationship with spirituality, digitization, and we do a little experiment at the end to see how we relate to each other in the current moment. Going forward we will continue to interview new people, but we will periodically go back and see how previous guests have developed. We hope you enjoy!

In this episode we speak to Jake Jones. Above all else Jake is a story-teller. When he first graduated from his Masters in literature, Jake thought he wanted to be a writer. However, over the past few years he discovered that it was not so much the writing that drove him, but the communication of a certain state, or experience to the outside world. Currently, Jake is exploring new ways of storytelling in his work as the product lead and co-founder of Legal OS, a Berlin based start-up, as well as collaborating on a script for TV. However, we go much deeper in this conversation to discuss Jake's intense ability to feel, his journey with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and how a medical condition with his heart divided his life into a 'before and after'.
