The next After Work Stammtisch (No. 117) is going to take place on the first Tuesday in December 2023 – 5th December 2023. Following „the same procedure as every year“ our venue is in front of the Ferris wheel at 7:00 pm. After walking around Brunswick’s Christmas Market in small groups, we will all meet again in front of the Ferris wheel to talk about what exciting items one might have bought and what one has planned to do for Christmas this year. They have the best mulled beer right in front of our meeting place as well as tasty children´s punch which is basically non-alchoholic mulled beer, so … CHEERS! … till round about 8:30 pm.

After this evening’s lively AFTER WORK STAMMTISCH discussions about this special building in Pattersen, between Hannover and Hildesheim, we would like to share some of the information we gathered:
Some say this castle is to become the „Neuschwanenstein des Nordens“ – „Neuschwanenstein of the North“.

same time, same place,
only change: TUESDAY, 8th August 2023.

Neues Jahr, neues Glück! New year, new luck?
ENGLISH GOES GLOBAL freut sich schon sowohl mit bekannten als auch mit noch unbekannten Menschen zusammenzuarbeiten, um die zwischenmenschliche Kommunikation zu fördern und zu fordern. Um in einem neuen Jahr Platz für neues zu schaffen, muss man vielleicht alte Gewohnheiten loswerden…
Wie bereits gestern im monatlichen Newsletter angegeben, haben wir im Internet eine nette Seite gefunden, auf der die 10 „wichtigsten“ Eigenschaften, die Sie im Jahr 2023 loslassen müssen, aufgelistet sind:
| Fear | Furcht |
| Self-doubt | Selbstzweifel |
| Negative people | Negative Menschen |
| Perfectionism | Perfektionismus |
| Procrastination | Prokrastination |
| Lack of focus | Mangelnder Fokus |
| Limited beliefs | Begrenzte Überzeugungen |
| Comfort zone | Komfortzone |
| Comparison | Gegenüberstellung |
| Lack of action | Untätigkeit |
Mehr Tipps zu jedem Punkt finden Sie hier.
