P1 / P1 People — Our Network Consultants / Carsten Waider

Carsten Waider

Consultant

During my education, my instructor took me climbing in the mountains for the first time. Challenging myself, planning carefully, being ready to face changing situations and relying on my climbing partner fascinated me. I haven’t forgotten this experience since.

Today, part of my job is to support people in challenging situations. What helps me is the reminder that fear and curiosity are the key emotions we experience when growth and development are on the horizon.

What others say about Carsten Waider

“When it comes to visualization and flip chart design, Carsten’s motto is: bigger, quicker, better!” – Paolina Virga

“Carsten’s precision in formulating what he wants to say and distinguishing between important and unimportant things means he is always a very valuable member of the team. His friendly approachability when contacting participants and colleagues ranges from spiritual profundity to childlike playfulness. This alone makes every minute in his presence an absolute joy. However, it is also worth noting that when you are in Carsten’s vicinity, all culinary questions rarely remain unanswered for long.&rdquo – Lucas Lossen
