Bio
Eva-Maria Zoll
Talking, working or simply being around Manuela leaves you not only smarter but also would also give you a new perspective on your purpose. Her thinking is sharp like a Japanese knife and sheds light on complexity. Working with Manuela means you get to work with a human who pairs her highly intellectual mind with a pragmatic agent for change, especially in shaping the future of diversity. She drives our collective cultural transformation as a gender equality advocate and is a natural-born leader. Manuela, with her down-to-earth presence, pairs passion with patience, empathy with a razor-sharp mind, and ambition with a will that moves mountains.
Susanne Scheerer
I was able to work with Manuela, in her role as a senior consultant at ignore gravity, on a multitude of projects ranging from top talent development, across learning experience design as well as diversity, equity and inclusion. Manuela is, with her background in philosophy and well build start up experience, not only a great mind moving flexible between concepts, strategy and content questions, always adding new compelling positions and thought experiments. She also brings an amazing hands on mentality pushing for excellent deliverables and is a wonderful facilitator of processes. She leads herself and teams with curiosity, empathy and optimism to bring out the best of a process. A relentless learner herself she is always moving to find the next learning challenge to broaden her horizon and competence. She is an excellent component to any team working on leadership, social innovation, diversity and inclusion, cultural and digital transformation and in any educational context. I m eager to continue working with her.
