Welcome to a special Thought Leaders episode with Martina Peskoller-Fuchs in which we learn how to cultivate and nourish a positive mindset for self-innovation.
I’m your host Elisabeth Riemann and today we learn the importance of taking control of our choices and our reactions to live a healthier, happier, and more meaningful life. While we can’t always be in control, we are free to choose how we respond. Martina says we need look no further than the humble bumble bee to be reminded that the seemingly impossible is possible (I love that).
Martina tells us how she walks the talk herself and explains how thought leaders, like neurologist and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, have inspired her own self-development. We talk of the search for meaning, hard choices, and soft skills. Martina shares her personal and professional experiences with us from her happy memories of the beauty and freedom of the mountains to the pain and suffering inflicted by conflict.

Always enriching to listen to Martina Peskoller-Fuchs and her views and mindset on how to go about life in general, and challenging situations in particular — and the interviewer, Elisabeth Riemann, made very pertinent questions and comments, always trying to translate what Martina was saying into practical aspects. Definitely worth listening to this interview!
