Early in December 2023 I released Skater Girl Asha – the first book of the Janwaar Trilogy (see below). Since 2012 I am extremely involved in India, even though I wasn’t allowed to go there after Covid, my visa applications have been rejected multiple times. Surprisingly this January I was granted a visa and I […]

The Nomad is a series of stories, fascinations, encounters, observations, experiences, joy of the moments by me, Ulrike Reinhard – all around my travels. Stay tuned!

Yesterday I finally got my account with OpenAI. I was hesitant to use the technology because I didn’t want to be part of making these things even smarter. Yet my curiosity took over and I started to playing around. I wasn’t more than 10 minutes on OpenAI. A few very simple questions about myself and […]

While the first part was more about how to set-up the transformation process in order to succeed (=principles), here in the second part I summarise the main learning in form of a few rules. Combined these rules […]

While the first part is about how to set-up the transformation process in order to succeed (= principles), in the second part you’ll find the main learning in form of nine rules. Combined these principles and rules […]
When one thinks of transformation, change management and EmPOWERment, a closer look at the skate park in the remote Indian village of Janwaar, whose inhabitants live just about poverty line, does not really seem to make sense. But only at first glance – a second look shows that companies can learn enormously from this example. […]
On October 9 and 10 I was invited to hold a design thinking workshop in Imizamu Yethu, a township in Hout Bay, south of Cape Town. The goal was to bring various members of the skateboarding community together and find a common understanding of what they want to do with their skatepark. It was a […]
On April 8th I was invited to give a talk at the HS Pforzheim. The topic was: How to drive longlasting (social) change (=sustainalbility). 80 students were watching online the Q&A – Benjamin Fritz, who has been to Janwaar for six weeks in 2019/2020, was asking the questions – it was fun!
Last week I was part of a Musterbrecher-workshop (online) “Unternehmertum” (Entrepreneurship), which they condicted for their client freenet, Hamburg, Germany. My role was to share my experiences with my social experiment in Janwaar and to draw parallels between my work in the village and my work as a consultant for companies. This might seem odd […]
