Mr. Bode, what’s the meaning of the title Resonance Culture - what does it have to do with companies and business?

I have been observing a fundamental change in values within our society for some time now. Today people are looking for connection, belonging and resonance. At the same time, they become increasingly aware of their connection to nature and claim more suitable economic solutions - especially with regards to the regional and global challenges of our time.

Resonance culture is about resonating with oneself and the surrounding world and from this developing a new more meaningful way of living and working. This then automatically contributes to resilient, i.e. highly resistant, sustainable and healthy companies, which in turn make a more meaningful contribution to people and their natural habitat through their actions.

If values have to be lived, what’s the purpose of your lecture?

Good question! To show people - underpinned with numerous, practical examples from my own development and experience - how easy it is to develop values, to live them vividly and then also to understand and use them as added value for one's own growth.

What can people/the audience take away from your presentation, how is the feedback so far?

The experience and especially the extraordinarily positive feedback from the past lectures show that my keynote lecture reveals itself as an inspiring treasure chest for all business areas and industries. My tips and knowledge gifts inspire people in different professional positions as well as in personal areas of life.

Who can book you as a speaker?

Basically, any company in any industry, any association or other institution that has the interest and the courage to embrace new thinking and a different way than the usual one.

Stephan Bode, pioneer of sustainability and winner of the B.A.U.M. Environmental Award

Everyone might agree that our economy must become more sustainable. But when it comes to concrete implementations, it often remains at procrastination and empty rhetoric. But there are pioneers of sustainability: people who pave the way for a sustainable economy, who don't just talk the talk, but take action. Such people have been honored by the Bundesdeutsche Arbeitskreis für Umweltbewusstes Management (B.A.U.M.) e. V. since 1993. One of the award winners is Managing Director & Owner Stephan Bode. All information about sustainability in the SCHWARZWALD PANORAMA and the development can be found in the book entry via the attached PDF in German.

Focus on sustainability and innovation: Darlene Schwabroch
Development Sustainable Awareness

The pursuit of harmony between people and nature, fuelled by a healthy zest for life and inspiring energy, makes the SCHWARZWALD PANORAMA a place of innovation and forward thinking.

"In Darlene Schwabroch, we have found a team player who can anchor us even more firmly in the tourism and hotel sector, network us and develop us further together - both externally and internally. We no longer see sustainability merely as a label, but as an indispensable way of life for responsible behaviour in a sustainably transforming world. This is exactly what Darlene Schwabroch brings to the table," says Stephan Bode.

Born in Düsseldorf, she completed her Bachelor of Arts in International Hospitality Management in 2020 and brings her expertise as Business Development Manager at the GreenSign Institute to the position of "Development Sustainable Awareness". With her expertise, she plans to deepen topics such as digitalisation, decarbonisation and circular economy in strategic corporate and hotel transformation.

At the age of 25, Darlene has already gained a wide range of experience in Texas/USA, Leeuwarden/Netherlands & Port Alfred/South Africa and speaks fluent English and Dutch. From her time as a waitress to internships in all areas of hospitality during her studies, she knows the essential elements of true hospitality. For her, people-centred entrepreneurship and forward-looking topics in the hotel industry are inextricably linked: A connection she shares with the SCHWARZWALD PANORAMA and Stephan Bode, who strives for sustainable living and working environments with a profound understanding of meaning.

Darlene Schwabroch has the talent to grasp complex topics with confidence and composure and to communicate them in an understandable way. She inspires others with her sometimes provocative but warm and focused manner. She is also personally passionate about topics such as diversity and feminism and is also interested in communication psychology. In addition to her full-time work, she has been a volunteer chairwoman of the Sustainability Circle of HSMA Deutschland e.V. (Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association) since the beginning of 2022.
