  • Lunch with Impact - Georg Tarne - soulbottles
    Die Bedeutung von New Work und Organisationsstruktur
    Georg beschreibt sich selbst als serial entrepreneur. Vor ein paar Jahren erreichte er vor allem als Co-Gründer von soulbottles Bekanntheit. Die attraktiv designten Trinkflaschen sollen KundInnen zu einem nachhaltigeren Lebensstil animieren, während durch die Verkäufe Spenden für Trinkwasserprojekte gesammelt werden. Gleichzeitig steht auch das Thema New Work im Mittelpunkt. Und während wir natürlich nicht mit Georg sprechen können, ohne die soulbottles zu erwähnen, sollen auch die Themen Holacracy und gewaltfreie Kommunikation nicht unerwähnt bleiben. Was das genau ist, und was Zwerge und Riesen damit zu tun haben, das erklärt er uns am besten selbst.
