How to Select the Right Career Coach!

Not every competent career coach is necessarily the right coach for you. In this video, we look at four important factors when selecting a career coach:

• Personal chemistry – Do you feel comfortable and understood?
• Trust – Can you openly share your situation and goals?
• Credentials & experience – Does the coach have the right qualifications and relevant experience?
• Financials – Are the fees and payment terms clear and appropriate?

This is the second article in the Career Coaching series.

• Are you still on the right career path?

• How can you earn more—or find work that is more meaningful?

• And what will happen to your job as AI and technology transform the world of work?

In this video, I explore three major career challenges:

1. The Blind Spot

2. Understanding What It Takes

3. Understanding the Future Career Context

What does it take to get booed by thousands of university graduates? In 2026, apparently, talking positively about Artificial Intelligence.

At several U.S. university commencement ceremonies in 2026, speakers were booed after discussing Artificial Intelligence and its impact on the future of work. Among them was former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who addressed graduates at the University of Arizona.

Why such a strong reaction in a country that has traditionally embraced technological innovation?

Warum nutzen wir nicht einfach ChatGPT oder NotebookLM, um Filme zu „schauen“ oder komplexe Bücher zusammenzufassen?

In diesem Blog gehe ich einer provokanten Frage nach, die ihren Ursprung in einem Corporate-Governance-Kurs für Executive-MBA-Studierende hat.

„Wie sabotiert man sich am besten selbst, um seine Projektziele zu erreichen?“

Viele von uns sind wahre Meister darin, sich selbst am Erfolg zu hindern. Wenn Sie Ihre Projektziele wirklich vermeiden wollen, brauchen Sie eine Strategie, Disziplin und die feste Entschlossenheit, konsequent alles Falsche zu tun.

I just published a research article on the impact of artificial intelligence on work.

„AI is a net job creator, not a job killer!“ 

A significant replacement of human labor by AI is not expected until 2030. However, AI skills become important and job-relevant during this period.

Das INDUSTRIEMAGAZIN hat im Jahre 2025 Top-recherchierte Beiträge über die europäische Wirtschaft geliefert, doch waren diese klar in Moll und nicht in Dur gestimmt. Eine depressive Grundstimmung herrschte vor. Zum Jahresbeginn bringe ich Ihnen folgenden Beitrag, um zu zeigen, dass Europas Industrie Innovatives zu bieten hat.

Work will be optional! Really? Elon Musk & Jensen Huang

 Elon Musk offered a long-term prediction that work will become optional (perhaps in 10 to 20 years), similar to playing a video game or growing vegetables in a backyard as a hobby.

Jensen Huang countered with a near-term perspective, suggesting that while everyone's jobs will change and people will be more productive, they will likely be busier. This increased productivity frees up time to pursue the numerous ideas and backlog items that people or companies have.

The debate took place at the U.S.-Saudi Arabia investment forum in Washington in November 2025.  The link to the whole conversation is below.
