Values

Herbie's set of values derives from his background in the bio economy. As a son to farming parents Herbie already as a youngster learned the necessity and value of work, to respect and take responsibility of farm animals and to assist his parents in seasonal work peaks. Having grown up in a small countryside community, that was socially very caring, supportive and drenched with a mentality of providing work assistance whenever villagers needed, has created a mind-set of collaboration, decisiveness, curiousness and team spirit. Very useful features for a

business coaching and counselling professional.

The saying "what you sow, you harvest" is so true in most aspects of both business and life in general. Metaphorically speaking all socially rewarding or prosperity giving activities need fertile soil, high quality seed, right amount of different nutrients, rain and sunshine in right proportions and professionally conducted crop management.

Herbie understands that - in double meanings.
