Learning how to climb a mountain

Yesterday, I learned how to climb a mountain – more precisely “Grosser Mythen” located in the centre of Switzerland about 1,900 meters above sea level.


When you live in Switzerland, it’s a good idea to learn how to climb a mountain. Why? Because there are quite a lot of relatively large mountains here. Here are 3 things I learned by walking up the mountain:
# 1: Remember to drink water once in a while. You sweat a lot, when you walk up a mountain.
# 2: If you want to enjoy the stunning scenery: First stop - then watch.
# 3: Be sure to watch out where you set your feet. The road of the mountain I climbed was somewhat uneven, narrow, and more or less all rock.


On the way up the mountain, I saw something very fascinating: Snow and beautiful flowers right next to each other.


At the top of the mountain, I had a soup at the restaurant there. I asked the people, who work at the restaurant, how they get the food and beverages, that they sell, up there. They told me that they carry some of it up the mountain, and that the rest is transported by helicopter. As I walked around the restaurant, I was thrilled to see that the people, who run the place, use solar panels to generate electricity.

Impressions from Ree Park in Denmark

I visited Ree Park in Denmark earlier this month. I had a great time there. Ree Park is an interesting Experience Economy contribution. Here are some impressions from the day, I spent there: The lemurs in the park look really cute and come really close to guests. The Cheetahs are really agile and can run more than 100 km per hour. This is what the cheetahs had for lunch. Listening to the guide talk to the large number of people watching the feeding of the cheetahs, I learned that it's horse meat. The white powder on the meat is, as I understood it, vitamins. Here's a coke machine in the park that is adapted to the surroundings. Good innovation. I think it’s a good idea to split up the park in different continents. That way, it’s easy for guests to learn about on which continents different animals live.

Trust

One of the most innovative innovation communities I have come across is Innov8rs . I experience that both in terms of how technology is used and how moderation is done, Innov8rs is moving well forward. This week, Innov8rs Connect, a free online event, takes place. The first webinar, I tuned in for, focused on trust. And it certainly did not disappoint. Both the expert, Philipp Kristian Diekhoener, and the moderator, Hans Balmaekers, conducted a wonderful jam session, during which questions, ideas and knowledge ping-ponged back and forth so well that it sounded like great music in my ears. After the webinar, I was still so excited about what happened that I decided to update research I did about  Trust  some time ago.
