Jasmin Wölke moderates workshops and strategy retreats in Freiburg, in German and English. The conference moderator leads the day neutrally, so the team can argue, think and decide instead of moderating itself.
Why the boss should not moderate
Many retreats fail because of a double role. Whoever runs the agenda while defending their own position loses one of the two jobs. Usually the discussion suffers: objections stay unspoken because they would be aimed at the person holding the moderation cards. External moderation solves this. Jasmin keeps the time, distributes the floor and names conflicts without taking sides. The leadership team genuinely sits at the table. At the SAP Tech Leadership Forum, a corporate reference, she applied this principle at leadership level: the executives discuss, the moderation structures.
Rooms for focused days
For retreats, Freiburg offers a rare mix. Conference hotels in the old town and near the main station provide seminar rooms with short journeys. The Historisches Kaufhaus suits formats that end with a festive dinner. Teams that want distance from daily business move to a winery at the Kaiserstuhl or in the Markgräflerland: work in the morning, a shared closing in the evening. Jasmin discusses with you in advance which setting fits the question of the day. A pricing workshop needs a different room than a retreat meant to bring a team back together after a hard year.
From notes on the wall to an agreement
Leadership teams in Freiburg often come from software, energy, research and the green economy. People there speak precisely and expect something to stand at the end. So Jasmin works visibly: options go on the wall, criteria next to them, decisions are recorded with owners and dates. Whatever stays open gets a clear parking space instead of a quiet burial. The article on keeping a schedule shows how a full agenda stays on track. The hub page workshop moderation covers the essentials, and the Freiburg city page lists all formats in the city.
