Diversity does not mean one, diversity means many! And that's exactly what we need more of: More diversity at all levels and in all fields. If you stand for diversity, you stand for the future!

Diversity is the driver of innovation! Whether it's developing a product, programming an app, or designing the best idea. Without diversity, companies will not survive in the future!

What motivates me to make the world of work more diverse is the sobering prediction that, at the current rate, it would take another 100 years for general gender parity to prevail in companies! Standing idly by is not an option.

Diversity describes two sides for me: Stagnation for those who do not understand the need to question and growth for those who recognise and use opportunities.

Why do I stand up for diversity? Because the number of female founders in Germany is as high as the number of free parking spaces in Berlin at 6:00 pm. And that's just one of many good reasons why I stand up for equal opportunities!

Seeing the positive impact our events have on society is the biggest motivation for me. This is how I contribute to making society as colorful as the confetti at the finale of a spectacular event!

Why am I committed to diversity? Because optimal staffing should not depend on gender, origin, religion, or sexual orientation, but on experience, commitment, knowledge, and a personality that fits the team.

For me, diversity is not a trendy topic or one of many hip buzzwords, but clearly the foundation for innovation. Those who don't jump on the bandwagon will be left behind sooner or later.

For me, diversity means a win-win situation for everyone involved. Equality and inclusion are the tools needed to harness the potential of a diverse organization and create added value for companies, individuals, and societies.

Without diversity, there is no business success. It is a business case, a driver for innovation and creativity! Everyone benefits from inclusive leadership styles and equal opportunity structures: both companies and their employees.

Diversity and inclusion are important drivers for entrepreneurial innovation and are, therefore, a real business case! They create ideas, solutions, flexibility, and openness - thus also access to new markets, target groups, and talent!

Diverse companies win. They draw from an innovative pool of ideas and simply create the better products or services. That plays into the bottom line! Everyone benefits from diversity: society, business, and politics.

Paul - formally known as Darth Vader from Brieselanger Licht. Yes, Pauli is royalty, and he sometimes thinks it about himself. Particularly when you leave your socks lying around somewhere for him to collect, keep in mind: you love him, too!

Leo - our graceful, sporty, and empathetic companion. Shiny fur, bright brown eyes, and dream team with his brother Pauli.

Peanut - well-behaved, clumsy, playful. Outside he loves to romp with other dogs and at home he wants all the scratches for himself. He still needs to practice his leash walking. And when he sees water, there is no stopping him. Regardless if puddle, river, lake, or sea. He is a real water rat and plunges death-defyingly into the floods. His greatest passion, however, is eating. He is especially fond of blueberries with yogurt.

Hugo prefers his martinis shaken rather than stirred. True to the motto: ``I guess I'll die another day``, he's not above doing anything and always prefers to be at the top of his game. But behind the hard shell there is a soft core, you just have to listen carefully.
