Yes I am. Now. Was offline on Bluesky due to health issues that forced me to consolidate my energy. But I plan to get back to it soon 😇

„I‘d rather be avoided than overlooked!“

I don’t know about you. I prefer people make conscious decisions. No matter if it‘s yes or no.

I am a choice not an accident 😏 and I won’t let you off the hook 🙌🏽 !

How do you feel about predominantly English content? Can you connect even when it’s not your native language?

Let me know! I really want to hear from you. 🙏🏽

I’ll keep creating content in both languages. Especially when it comes to stuff that is specific to the region and language.

✨Beyond boarders!
✨Beyond language!
✨Beyond expectations!

So yeah, at some point I started to create more and more content in English.

✨For access!
✨For possibilities!
✨For connection!

Well, I am not on Facebook anymore 😅 but my network kept being a beautiful mix of nationalities, languages, cultures.

💕AND I LOVE IT💕

The truth is: Digital Spaces not only gave me the chance to keep in touch with friends and family - it completely changed the way I approach connection.

I love my international network 😍 !

Ever wondered why I keep posting so much content in English 🤷🏻‍♀️ even though I am German?

I have always had a very international and multilingual network. Actually I joined Facebook 20 years ago to keep in touch with my family in Syria.

That’s the key 👍🏽 and a key problem with critique among artists. Especially among themselves because too often people will tell you what they would do. But what I need from professionals is input about the problem. Not THEIR solution 🤷🏻‍♀️

I SEE YOU. 💓

Am I disappointed? 😔 Yes of course! But that is okay. 😇 And I am grateful, that i have the option of staying home and taking care of myself. There are a lot of times where I had to push through and just keep going. Not this time.

My body had other plans. I am struggling a bit this week and only managed to be there once for 2 hours. My body needs a lot of rest right now, so I had to change my plans. So instead of toasting the final festival evening I am home being patient with me, myself and my health.

I enjoy visiting shows, workshops and most of all meeting people. New ones, regular colleagues or sometime a surprise person I haven’t seen in years. And yeah, this year I thought I would share my experience with you. Share some reccomendations and good vibes.

✨ But ...

This was supposed to be a networking post. Actually this was supposed to be a networking week – because this week I was supposed to attend the wonderful WESTWIND-Festival😍! A Festival for Theatre for young audience in Germany.

Yeah okay sometimes there is a bit more to it. But for now let's leave it at that.

❓What are your networking stories? Do you struggle? Do you have any pro-tips❓

That pragmatic piece of advice changed the way I thought about professional networking. And I am grateful because this change in mindset enabled me to discover my own approach, which (as it turns out) is really about meeting people and getting to know them. 😎

I was talking so someone about this and how I feel at a disadvantage. I used to look to people walking around events talking themselves up and making what I perseived as connection. I was asking for advice on how to do that and got the best advice ever:

because I struggled with approaching people without an authentic reason.

Thankfully I got some really valuable advise early into my professional freelance career

Networking is as important as everyone is telling you! It just works in different ways for different people. For me it has always been about authentic connection.

I am by all means no introvert. I don't have problems talking to people. But I struggled with networking…

Did you know #networking can be fun? I didn't for a long time 😅

I used to think networking is all about attending premieres, sipping champagne trying to get the attention of someone important 🫣 And I struggled with that for a long time – no surprise there, right?

Well I get that it’s not practical (most of the time). In fact I believe the best feedback comes from testreaders and editors not every other publisher. I just think it is good not to be affected too much by these kind of rejections.

I believe that is necessary in order to go and stay on that ride! A personalized rejection could at least contain some helpful pointers. Standard letters are useless to ponder.

Thank you for sharing this. I don’t mind long or short answers and I won’t delete anything. It just took me a moment to find time read it properly. 🫶🏽
