The conversation started in a very simple way, with weather. Sarah was enjoying sunshine and light clothes, while Fruitloop was talking about cold rain, wind, and even snow in some parts of South Africa. It was one of those funny little moments that reminds you how different two places can feel on the same day….
She still feels it in her legs sometimes — that strange, pleasant heaviness from walking all day without really noticing. Twenty thousand steps, maybe more. It didn’t feel like exercise at the time. It just felt like moving from one place to another, slowly, without urgency. The hotel had been that big. Big enough that…
There’s something bittersweet about endings—and for Maxime, this week in Laval is exactly that. As he logs into his regular session with Fruitloop (aka Janita), his voice carries a mix of excitement and quiet nostalgia. “It’s my last week here,” he admits, reflecting on the friendships and routines he’s about to leave behind. Around him,…
What makes work fun? Is it the people, the atmosphere, the little daily successes — or simply not having to drive 50 kilometers to the office? In a lively conversation, Martin and Manfred explored exactly this question, guided by their host, Fruitloop, through a series of simple but revealing prompts. What followed was not only…
Fruitloop and Sarah in conversation about dreams, duty, and the kind of work worth waking up for. During a thoughtful session between Fruitloop, and Sarah, the conversation moved far beyond the simple question of “What do you want to be when you grow up?” What emerged instead was a vivid portrait of a young person…
We like to believe that work can be fun. Not in the superficial, HR-designed way—with table tennis tables and scheduled laughter—but in a deeper sense. That something we spend most of our waking lives doing could carry moments of lightness, connection, even meaning. And yet, when we listen closely—across generations, across continents—the picture becomes more…
I remember someone once telling me that work should be fun. At first, I agreed almost automatically. It sounds right, doesn’t it? If you spend most of your life working, then it should at least feel good. Otherwise, what are you doing? But when I think about it more carefully, I realize that “fun” is…
I remember when the message came in, it was one of those small moments that suddenly becomes something big. Theo called me — we know each other since 2004, and from the first day, it just clicked. You know, some people you meet and you need time. With him, no. Immediately, we were on the…
We are live.It’s Friday. Somewhere in the middle of April, apparently. Time has quietly packed its bags and left without telling anyone. And that, oddly enough, feels like the perfect place to start. Because today isn’t really about productivity or efficiency or squeezing more out of the day. It’s about something far more suspicious. It’s…
There’s something wonderfully real about conversations that jump from workplace stress to ice cream shaped like spaghetti—and that’s exactly what happens when Babette in Germany chats with her facilitator, Janita, in South Africa. Their exchange feels less like a lesson and more like a glimpse into everyday life, where small wins, tired mornings, and sweet…
