Sonja interviews Herbert

What expectations did you have of the empathy circle?

I had no specific idea .

I was more curious,

here in Germany we do the IDEO course “Human Centered Design”

What are the differences and similarities?

with our colleges we have a specific aim

we are interviewing companies on resilience

Here there is no aim

What methods is more comfortable for you?

personally having a aim is better for me

an open form like this is ok but I have to get used to it.

What was the most difficult parts for you?

to have the time for it.

3 hours is challenging

to be here and not have my thoughts here is challenging

Did you have thoughts to be somewhere else?

yes it happened and will happen

I’m a bit tired, I went to the club and went dancing.

I’m distracted, I have diabetes and I feel my body needs food

these take my thoughts away.

What went well?

I felt quite comfortable talking in English.

it is challenging but I feel good about it.

The language Barrier. did it influence you?

yes, there is this barrier. I think in German and talk in English. But after a while I start thinking in English.
