5 things I can’t work without: Philipp Leipold from AW Academy
Microsoft Booking: Finally no more email ping-pong! A really cool tool for uncomplicated appointments with external parties. Super easy and super uncomplicated. I’ve been waiting for this for years.
Spotify: “Without music, life would be a mistake,” Nietzsche once said. He was right! My day starts with music and ends that way. I can no longer imagine a life without always available ear art. At least some rock ‘n’ roll in the for-profit everyday life.
Vegan snacks: After switching to a vegan diet last August, I always have to carry plant-based snacks with me. Because unfortunately one cannot yet speak of a wide range of vegan food in Germany and especially in Bavaria. So instead of “Lehbakaßsemmel” I have plant-based food and “a vegan Hoibe for a good snack”.
My contact lenses / glasses: All the reading takes its toll – especially back then as a child at night without much light. Without external aids, I am virtually blind. If I want to appear particularly intellectual, I wear glasses, otherwise I like to wear contact lenses. Maybe one day I’ll have my eyes lasered. Glasses without prescription are also available to artificially increase your IQ for a short time.
Inspiration from my colleagues: My team is extremely diverse: four colleagues and two Philip (p) s. I get a lot of inspiration and energy from the exchange with my employees. Without this source of strength, I could not imagine fulfilling work. I am looking forward to finally being able to see the team in person again on a regular basis as soon as the pandemic has leveled off.
