Dear readers,
Welcome to my blog. Here I share content on the topics I encounter most in my daily practice. My work approach as well as my texts consist in sharing experiences and ideas so that exchange can take place. You are welcome to take away what seems valuable and useful and question what raises doubts.
I would like to point out that I do not use gender-neutral language in my blog texts. Even if I use it in other texts on my site.
It is generally very important to me to consider all readers equally. But when writing and reading the texts, (*) and (/) can often be irritating and here and there I oversee it.
Thank you for your understanding and your openness when reading my posts.
Yours sincerely,
Dorothee
