  • We can all learn to be more mindful in our daily lives. And actually these small pauses will give us wings: taking a break and asking yourself strategic questions (am I reaching my target audiences or goals? Am I still on track) is so much more efficient than "running around like headless chickens", feeling important because we are so busy!. Full interview can be found in my #womenwhoinspire the world newsletter article available in my bio. #mindfulness #strategucthinking @suzangrootscholten

  • This week I had a breakthrough while taking a guitar lesson... Those around me know that music is a big part of my life. We have dedicated an entire corner of our country house to it: instruments, mics, a loudspeaker. A few years ago, I started taking guitar lessons - though I received my first guitar at 16, I spent most of the time since then as a self-taught player, with only the occasional professional lesson. This week, I got really frustrated in class because I felt that my fingers were not playing the appegios as fluently as I wanted to. And I said to my teacher: I want to play without having to think, just enjoying it, the same that happens to me when I sing. Effortless, just in the flow. His answer surprised me: Doro, you are stuck because you feel like a singer, this is your comfort zone. You have to change your identity and FEEL LIKE A GUITARIST. That landed far beyond music. Because everywhere in life, we attach labels to ourselves - who we are and who we are not - and those labels quietly shape our limits. To grow into our next step with confidence, we first have to feel it from the inside. That same evening, I picked up my guitar and played it completely differently. Because I finally decided that I am not only the vocalist. I am the guitarist. Which identity shift are you going through right now to become the next version of yourself??
  • How do you run your business, raise a patchwork family of six, and still carve out time for yourself? That was essentially the guiding question my friend Gigi asked me in her podcast Vibe Higher with @vibehigherwithgg , and honestly, recording it made me reflect more deeply on how I actually navigate all of this. A few things I shared that might resonate with you: ✅ Priority-setting as a non-negotiable - not thinking about a vague intention, but a very practical, almost ruthless system I use daily to decide what gets my energy and what doesn't. 🧠 Planning strategic and creative work and how I protect specific time slots and ways of working for deep thinking. 🚫 Boundaries as a business tool - setting clear limits isn't about saying no to people; it's about saying yes to what actually matters. 🌀 Nervous system regulation - because none of the above works if you're running on empty. This conversation also touches on women's empowerment, overcoming self-doubt, and aligning your work with your values. Topics I care about deeply as you know. Full episode in my profile links.

How can we solve your communication challenges?

Multi-lingual and multi-cultural

Our core languages are English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch and Catalan/Valenciano. But we can also provide services in other languages thanks to our partner network. Having multi-lingual staff speeds up the production and project management considerably. And our profound knowledge of different cultures enables us to adapt each project to its cultural context.

Global player with local experiencel

We have worked all over the world including Africa, Asia, Latin and North America as well as Europe in these past years. Often we cooperate with local partners and it is exactly this “glocal” approach and network that distinguishes us from others.

Creativity

Our team integrates award-winning film directors, passionate photographers, dedicated artists and many more. For us this creative approach and out-of-the-box thinking lies at the heart of our projects, and we love combining communications and culture in this respect.

Testimonials

What our clients say about us

"What I appreciate about Dorothee is that she is always 100% professional and reliable. She has an almost inexhaustible international network and well-founded communication and international policy skills. In combination with her languages, Dorothee has become a kind of silver bullet in the field of communication and European affairs for me, which I regularly like to draw on."
Dr. Martina Taubenberger
Dr. Martina TaubenbergerFounder and CEO, Kulturkonzepte
"I worked together with Dorothee for several years within the Interact Programme on diverse communication issues including the development of the European Cooperation Day communication campaign. Meetings and discussions with Dorothee were always productive, pro-active and mutually motivating. Progress and real achievement resulted from working with her. She is a creative and enthusiastic person with a very multicultural background whom I look forward to working with again whenever the opportunity arises."
Aisling Walsh
Aisling WalshSenior Communications Expert
"Dorothee has an amazing capacity for work. During the Mayors’ Summit gathering more than 170 cities around the world she demonstrated mastery of all media relations in perfect Spanish, English, French and German! A perfect presentation of the stories and their backgrounds and knowledge of the great social and political issues at the highest level. But apart from her impressive professionalism, management skills and responsibility, I would like to highlight her sensitivity, empathy, and how she encourages her colleagues. It is a real luxury to work with her. As soon as I can, I will do it again."
Vicente Domingo
Vicente DomingoCommissioner for València, World Sustainable Food City 2017
"I was delighted to receive the article you published on female genital mutilation in the Centralafrican Republic. I really appreciate the relevance of this article and it encourages us to work even harder in this area."But apart from her impressive professionalism, management skills and responsibility, I would like to highlight her sensitivity, empathy, and how she encourages her colleagues. It is a real luxury to work with her. As soon as I can, I will do it again."

Flore Yazo NgbongoCoordinator REPCA
I wholly recommend the services of Business Coaching with Dorothee. I completed an initial form and from that Dorothee focused on the key areas I wanted further advice and insight into. At each stage she encouraged me and gave me specific avenues to explore – this involved homework too! My meetings with her were very beneficial in understanding my strengths and where my energies should go. Her warmth and encouragement in our meetings enabled me to be open and honest about my life journey so far and what I want to gain fulfilment and contentment. Her strategies to improve my network and strengthen my skills has been invaluable. I recommend her services without hesitation.
Catharina(Northern Ireland)
I am grateful for how Dorothee showed me how to lift myself out of a thinking rut. Learning about Ikigai gave me another tool to clear up my vision and get back onto the way that appears as we walk.
Bernd(Japan)
And I would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for your truly insightful report, your commitment and the excellent cooperation. We have learned a great deal thanks to you, and I will ensure that the communication unit implements some of these ideas.
