Could this trick help us through the tough winter ahead?

Joerg Kuehn · Oct 28, 2020 · Leave a Comment

It was a lovely evening on 25th May 2005 in Istanbul.  One hour before the Champions League Final between AC Milan and Liverpool FC, coach Rafa Benitez, began to share the line-up for the Liverpool team.

After hearing the seventh name,  Didi Hamann realised that he was not in the squad for the probably most important game of his career.  Later in his bestselling book, The Didi-Man – My Love Affair with Liverpool, he would describe that moment as follows:  “My stomach churned.  I did not hear anymore after that.  I was on the bench.  It hit me like a hammer blow.”

Hamann continues: “I have to thank my previous coach, Gerard Houllier, for how I was able to deal with it. Gerard used to say: ’If you are not selected for the game, you have 2 minutes to get over your disappointment. Then you get your head up, as if you were going to play and prepare yourself!’”

The game starts with Hamann on the bench. And what a game it was.  AC Milan totally outclassed Liverpool and seemed to be able to score at their leisure.  Not even one minute was played when it was 1-0 for the Italians.  Playing like they were “from a different star,” they added another 2 goals to make it 3—0 when the half time whistle blew.

Everyone thought, “That’s it. Game over.

The answers are inside – not outside!

It was the 3rd of September 2003 when Medical Manager CEO Michael Singer received a panic call from his division’s attorney.  The FBI was raiding his R&D facility, along with several other locations across WebMD, a publicly listed company in the field of health information services.  The FBI confiscated 1.2 million email messages, 1,500 boxes of files with more than 3 million pages of documents, and 830,000 computer files.

A few weeks later the reason for the FBI-inquiry became clear.  It turned out an employee, who was internally investigated for taking dealer kickbacks, had informed the authorities about his dealings, alleging the company board was fully aware of these illegal affairs. He was hoping to cut a deal for himself.

Despite Michael Singer’s career as the CEO of a division with more than 2,500 employees, he lived a quiet, spiritual life in “the woods” where he moved in his early twenties to learn “how to quiet the voice in his head.”  All his life, he had been practicing “how to surrender” and create “inner peace.”  This federal investigation offered a massive challenge to his inner peace.  If things turned out badly, he might end up in prison.

5 remarkable teachings from the “Normal-One”

Joerg Kuehn · Aug 27, 2020 · Leave a Comment

On October 9th 2015, during his first press conference as the newly appointed coach of Liverpool Football Club, Jürgen Kopp was asked how he would describe himself in the light of Jose Mourinho’s name for himself … the “Special One.”

After a brief thought, Jürgen answered, “I am coming from a small village in the black forest.  Maybe you can call me “The Normal One.””

His humble roots and tremendous drive to win, together with his deep understanding of people and life, has made Jürgen Klopp one of the best football coaches in the world, bringing the Premier-League title back to Liverpool in July 2020 after 30 long years.

Sports can teach us a lot about business and life, so I thought why not describing 5 of Juergen’s magic lessons and show how we can apply them to actual leadership situations in our businesses and lives.

1. Never walk alone!

Chelsea FC was leading Manchester City 2-1 on 26th of June 2020.  There were only seconds left to play.  If the score held, it would give the title to Liverpool.  Juergen, who was watching the game with his Liverpool team, picked up the phone and called his mum.

Can this remarkable approach help us in the current crisis?

Joerg Kuehn · Jul 29, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Joe Simpson (25) & Simon Yates (21) went to Peru in 1985 aiming to do something never done before … climb the West face of a 6,200m mountain known as Siula Grande, high up in the Peruvian Andes.

The two Brits were planning to do it in what mountaineers call ‘alpine style,” which means carrying all their equipment, food and sleeping kits with them.  But climbing in this way meant they did not set up ropes and clear routes they could use to get back down in a hurry if needed.

They reached the peak after 2.5 days and things looked to be on track, but on the way down everything would change dramatically.

Joe slipped, fell, and broke his right leg in a very bad way, crushing his tibia into his knee joint. They were still at high altitude with no chance to call for help. Nobody even knew where they were!

ORDINARY HEROES FROM NEXT DOOR

Joerg Kuehn · Jul 13, 2020 · 5 Comments

There is huge press and social media coverage on stars, celebrities and stardom. However, at the same time there is an enormous number of ordinary and unsung heroes, who provide wonderful and remarkable contributions, but never get any coverage or recognition of their moving journeys.

I would like to change that, because I believe that sharing inspiring stories of ordinary people can not only help all of us to find a little hope and motivation when things are tough, but it also provides a wonderful opportunity to provide these “unsung heroes” with an appropriate form of recognition, that they so well deserve.

Therefore, if you know anyone in your network, who is contributing in some remarkable inspiring ways, someone who never stops doing good deeds or someone who went through an amazing and inspiring journey or transformation, please reach out to me. With your help I will interview the “hero” and write up an inspiring little story which symbolises and manifests the great contributions of your “ordinary hero next door.”

In the following, you can find such an extraordinary ordinary hero. Enjoy the story of Christine and feel free to reach out, if you have someone in mind who deserves a similar recognition.

 

Life’s purpose in two words –

The story of Mumbai Runner Christine

The following story was initially published in May 2017 and has been updated in July 2020. Rest assure Christine keeps running and running and running …!

It’s 5.30am in Mumbai when Christine’s alarm goes off. She gets up and hits the road shortly past 6am for her morning run. Prior to the Lockdown, she was training under Coaches Girish Bindra (Asics Running Club), Daniel Vaz (Nike Running Club) and Deepak Oberoi (Bombay Running). On Sundays she would enjoy going on long runs to different destinations along with her running buddies and then bonding with them over breakfast.

Running became Christine’s passion in 2008 when her boss challenged her to run a marathon after she participated in a short charity run. A couple of years later she started training with the Reebok Running Club. From not having done any running before the age of 45, Christine became a passionate marathon runner. In January 2009 she went on to complete her first half-marathon and holds her personal best time of 2 hours and 19 minutes.

Things were going great until 2012, when disaster struck. [Read more…] about ORDINARY HEROES FROM NEXT DOOR
