Always the first – episode one of the second season of “Die Boss”

Always the first – episode one of the second season of “Die Boss”  

  The second season of my podcast “Die Boss” has started. It was amazing to me to read the feedback of so many women who felt inspired by the stories told in the first season. I am also curious to find out what the next episodes will bring, especially since there have already been a […]

Taking stock after a turbulent year

Taking stock after a turbulent year The topic of women's quotas was probably one of my personal highlights of this podcast, but also of my year in general: a previous opponent of such a quota, I absolutely agree with my podcast guest Janina Kugel that we need this legal support so that women in management positions become a standard in German companies. We are still struggling with this, especially in Germany – and Corona has only made the situation worse. Jutta Allmendinger, President of the Science Center Berlin, very aptly described this phenomenon as “the danger of concealment of women” in episode 11. In fact, current evidence shows that women are feeling the brunt of the Corona pandemic by having to juggle working from home, teaching their kids, and housework at the same time. For me, this development was one of the most frightening insights into our society to emerge from the pandemic.

2020 is drawing to a close – and what an unusual and turbulent year it has been for all of us. When we started planning the first episode of my podcast “Die Boss”, there were already signs on the horizon of what we nevertheless could not imagine in its full extent. To this day, Covid-19 […]

Female Leadership in Medical Science – The fourth episode of „Die Boss“

Female Leadership in Medical Science - The fourth episode of "Die Boss" For my podcast „Die Boss“, we wanted to invite female leaders from all kind of industries and areas of society. For me, this also makes the podcast an excellent opportunity to learn more about professions I am not familiar with. The episode with Professor Dr. med. Doris Henne-Bruns is a great example for one of those meetings. In 2001, she was appointed as full professor for surgery – as the first woman in Germany. And she is still the only woman in this position today. Medical science is quite a foreign field for me and personally, I always feel a little on edge whenever I enter any hospital. But in our interview, Doris Henne-Bruns did a great job of showing me the exciting aspects of the field. She is convinced that empathy is key in being successful in a medical profession – and believes that it is easier for women to be emphatic.

„Die Boss“ and Football

"Die Boss" and Football My podcast “Die Boss” at Stern doesn’t focus exclusively on female leadership in a business context. Instead, I had the pleasure of talking to women from all kind of areas and organisations. The idea behind that is to show the diverse leadership roles that women occupy – and maybe also highlight skills and topics that are important across job profile and sectors of the German economy and society.
