Susanne Pöchacker, a multifaceted professional with a background in physics, systemic coaching, training, moderation, and art, brings a unique perspective to the often-complex world of business. With over 25 years of experience advising institutions on personnel development, team building, and sales, and a decade as a regular panelist on ORF's "Was gibt es Neues?", Pöchacker has honed her ability to distill essential truths from professional interactions.
Wären Sie nicht so leise gewesen, hätte ich Sie unter all dem Lärm gar nicht wahrgenommen.
Her current focus, as highlighted in Die Presse, centers on the "loudness" within the business environment, suggesting that in the cacophony of modern commerce, true value and insight can be easily overlooked. Pöchacker's poetic approach, exemplified by her business poem "Leis-Stärke" (Quiet Strength), encourages a re-evaluation of how we perceive and interact within professional settings. She posits that sometimes, it is the quiet presence, the subtle observation, that holds the most significance – a notion often drowned out by the relentless pursuit of visibility and noise.
Beyond her advisory work, Pöchacker actively promotes practical tools for navigating the demands of contemporary professional life. Her "Impro-Morning-Workout" sessions, offered via Zoom, are designed to infuse participants' days with ease and spontaneity through simple improvisational exercises. These 15-minute sessions, held three times a week, serve as a reminder that agility and creativity are not just desirable traits but essential skills for thriving in today's dynamic business landscape.
Improvisational ability is needed right now, as is lightness.
From an Austrian perspective, Pöchacker's approach resonates with a cultural appreciation for depth and nuanced communication. While international business discourse often prioritizes aggressive self-promotion and constant activity, Pöchacker's emphasis on quiet strength and improvisational adaptability offers a valuable counter-narrative. Her work reminds us that effectiveness in business, much like in art, often lies not in the volume of one's output, but in the clarity, insight, and resilience embedded within it. Her unique blend of scientific understanding, coaching expertise, and artistic sensibility provides a holistic framework for professional growth.
Every Monday-Wednesday-Friday at 9 a.m., guests start the day with simple exercises. Just drop by and try it out.
