Jasmin Wölke moderates workshops and retreats in Bonn, from association committees to strategy sessions at corporate headquarters. She guides groups with competing interests to decisions that still stand after the meeting, in English, in German or switching between both.
Many organisations, one table
Bonn is a city of organisations. Federal associations draft their positions here, ministries and agencies work with experts and industry, NGOs and research institutions plan their programmes. With the headquarters of Deutsche Telekom and Deutsche Post DHL Group, two DAX companies are based in the city as well. A retreat in Bonn therefore rarely looks like an internal team day. An association committee represents members with opposing business models. An expert group brings together administration, science and business, three worlds that think and talk differently in daily life. And inside a headquarters, divisions compete for the same resources while the strategy demands one shared picture.
Leading neutrally where interests collide
In rounds like these, nobody can lead neutrally from the inside: every internal chair has already taken a position or is read that way. Jasmin enters the room with no stake in the outcome. Beforehand she clarifies the real question of the day with you and, if useful, speaks to participants one by one, so lines of conflict surface before the meeting rather than in it. She structures the day in blocks with reachable interim goals. More than ten years of leadership at Bosch, SAP and within the Volkswagen Group taught her how committee decisions actually come about and why they later fail. That is why no resolution leaves the room without an owner and a deadline.
Rooms from the headquarters to the Universitätsclub
Many groups meet at their own site or in the association building, close to the files. Those who need neutral ground find it at the Universitätsclub or in the city's conference hotels. For confidential sessions in a small circle, the Steigenberger Grandhotel on the Petersberg high above the Rhine is a natural choice. If your group works with international partners, Jasmin moderates in English or alternates between languages without losing part of the room.
Getting there and getting started
From Ludwigsburg the train takes around three hours; for early starts Jasmin arrives the evening before. Briefing and alignment run via video.

The workshop moderation hub shows how Jasmin structures workshops in general, and when an external moderator makes sense explains when the outside view pays off. The city page bundles all Bonn pages.
