Andreas von der Heydt
Member of the Executive Board - International Business and Online
Everyone of us wants to grow, advance, and become a better leader, mother, coach, peer, student, and person.
My personal and professional life has always been centered very much around learning, embracing diversity, and exploring new things. During all these years I have been more of a "good rebel“ challenging the status quo in a positive way versus someone just blindly following rules.
To stimulate you and your mind to also discover the beauty of the unknown, change, questioning, creation, and opportunities I′d like to share with you my top 10 quotes on Personal Development:
10. Albert Einstein - On Devotion and Mastery
9. Muhammad Ali - On Freedom
8. Steve Jobs - On Living Your Own Life
7. Eleanor Roosevelt - On Great Minds Discussing Ideas
6. Mahatma Gandhi - On One′s Change Responsibility
5. Virginia Satir - On One′s Own Strengths
4. Yoda - On Doing
3. Maya Angelou - On Adding Meaning To One′s Life
