There was a huge thunderstorm that night, flash of lightning came, hit a tree that fell down on the fence. Frightened pigs were pushing tight against each other, barely looking out from their house into the rain. Once the storm was over, one of them, too tired to fell asleep went out.

"Look the fence is down!" said the little pig "For all my life I was wondering what is behind it, now I have a chance."
"There is nothing behind it, just a wilderness, despair and hunger." told the elder
"I have to see for myself." said the little one and off it was on the field on it's way to forest

After hours and hours of wandering around, up and down the hills, little pig stopped in wonder, barely able to believe it's own eyes.

"He..., hello?" said the little pig
"Hi, who are you?" answered the wild boar
"I'm sooo tired and hungry, where can I find food and shelter?" little pig was impatient.
"It's all around you, all you have to look and see. I teach you..." but wild boar could not finish her sentence
"You look so skinny, so dirty, your hair is so long, this horrible place full of high trees and all the food hidden down in the ground, it's disgusting! In my home we have a house, every couple of days a man comes and gives us fresh straw to lay on, we have big yard where we can just play around with friends, there is a big fence that is protecting us from all dangers and every day we get heaps of fresh food. And it's all for free!!! ... I just want to go home." broke the little big into tears

Last Friday together with Malcolm we took part on "2. Weltkongress für Werte-Diagnostik" organized by profilingvalues GmbH in München. Here's what I've learned:

• Hartman Value Profile really does work.
• Estimating values is the key to our decision process and it is who we are to the outside world.
• There are people effectively doing the wrong thing.
• One doctor a day keeps an apple away.
• It's really hard to diagnose mental illness.
• Every 7 years all cells in our body are replaces, so we better pay attention to what we eat.
• Watch out for permanent stress.
• People + spirit make the value.
• It takes years to create healthy organization.
• you feel. you go. The values: Discipline, Excellence, Intuition
• Live your values.
• If you loose your center you loose.
• No cheap ways, but daily training brings self confidence.
• How can we expect it when we don't live it our selves?
• When it comes to fight, hesitation kills.
• Unconscious competence, not knowledge.
• Keep respect, motivate people through respect.
• hard training → confidence → stable emotions → door to intuition
• We either train our brain or we loose it.
• No one can motivate us, but we our selves.
• Wer is dieses ich?
• Our brain changes shape based on how it is used.
• Time for change is always now. Not in the past, not in the future. It has to happen now.
• fight - flight - disappear
• Brains information filtering is the key concept.
• To pass through brains filter, information has to be: new, important, interesting, inspiring, significant, meaningful, believable(, safe?)
• brain → 10min to form a cell, 8h to form a synapse, 24h to stabilize neurotransmitters, 28d for intuition and automatic reactions
• Creativity is an art of putting two or more, at first incompatible or unrelated, things or ideas together.
• There is a way how to deal with "bad" employes or non-working teams, but it needs time and patience.
• Personal coaching is about trust.
• Empathy is the key to people and to us.
• 1 year is minimum time to train a coach - a minimum time for a change
• Who will I be when I change? What will be left? Will I still be lovable?
• When we don't see our selves we borrow sense of self from outer world and reflect on it.
• Value what you notice or it's wasted.
• Panic, I got to have an answer.
