What happens when Teams allow for Winter

I sit together with Amelie Salameh, and we explore what regenerative entrepreneurship looks like when it is lived, not only philosophied upon. Amelie shares how gardening taught her to design work as interlinked cycles with beginnings, harvests, endings, and renewal.

We talk about the courage to start before you feel ready, and the humility to say, 'I don't know' and ask for help. We examine why humans are not machines and why organisations need trust, flexibility, and safe spaces to talk about individuals' needs, including menstrual cycles.

Amelie explains a simple seasons-based check-in that any team can use daily or weekly to align energy with tasks. We discuss community-supported agriculture as a living lab for cyclical organising and partnership roles.

We invite organisations to test cyclical tools with Amelie and to learn in community through Reallabor Zukunft. Together, we close with a gentle call to design environments that let people do what they love and rest when they must.
