Small series in the podcast „Well through the time“
An overview (continuously updated) –
Status 2025-06
Introduction:
- Presentation of the podcast "Gut durch die Zeit" and the company INKOVEMA
- Overview of the variety of topics and series in the podcast: The name of the podcast shows that the focus is on mediation, conflict coaching and organisational consulting, which are the most important work settings for me and INKOVEMA. The core phenomenon in all of this is, of course, conflict. For INKOVEMA, it is the cause that necessitates counselling in whatever form. I do not focus on topics such as leadership, partnership or change management in this way.
Small rows:
The small rows have Two directions of impact:
- In terms of content, they serve to realise the core objective of the podcast: To present the diversity and complexity of mediated conflict management and in this way to counteract the simplistic idea of one to counteract mediation.
- Formally, they help to maintain an overview and find an order in the constant sequence of weekly podcast episodes.

Works councils can resolve conflicts - but they can also be at the centre of them themselves.

We take real cases apart, talk about legal tools - and about humour as a works agreement.
