Germany and the free and empty office

I am just now sitting on my desk in Krefeld/ Germany. I am not really here very often but my business is based here because a good friend of mine offered me this desk, IT access and the business address free of charge. He is a very kind person and I owe it to him that I was able to establish PB Consulting GmbH in the first instance. Without him I would gotten nowhere.
Anyway I got a little sidetracked there! :-)
I am in Germany (as said) the days of this week and fly back to London tomorrow late in the evening.
Today has been a very hectic day here. First I send 4 hours with my accountant, then had a lunch appointment and then discussed future business opportunities with this friend mentioned in the first paragraph.
Everyone has left the office for the day and I just turned on some music (James Blunt – 1973) to finally sit down and write some blog posts and catch up on my emails. This is the first, one on the SustainabilityBlog.org will follow.

Useful links of the day:
TubeMogul.com - TubeMogul is a free service that provides a single point for deploying uploads to the top video sharing sites, and powerful analytics on who, what, and how videos are being viewed. - TubeMogul.com
The Sustainability Dictionary: The Dictionary of Sustainable Management is an open dictionary for business leaders and students of sustainability and business-related terms. - SustainabilityDictionary.com

All the best,
Fabian

Berlin this week and the redevelopment of this blog

Advance warning: It is already after midnight now so already apologies for my bad English, but I felt that I needed to write my next blog post before I am going to bed.

I have been in Berlin/Germany most of this week and helped out at the ILA exhibition where my parents had an exhibition stand to present the products they are selling in the aviation business. This meant that I was able to enjoy the great sunny weather we had here in the eastern parts of Germany where as in the western parts of Europe thunderstorms and rain pretty much ruined the week. This was a welcomed change to my regular business activities as well. But to be perfectly honest, I am also happy to get back to the things I love. And that is to build my consulting business and manage and develop my current websites.

This leads me nicely to the other developments of the week. After the exhibition today I went into Berlin City Centre to meet a pair of Wordpress Designer and Programmers to discuss the update of this blog and the SustainabilityBlog.org. These two are running the business called GoYippie. Kati and Christian (the two people running goYippie) are really nice and highly competent people as far as I can tell. We talked extensively about my thoughts of redevelopment, agreed a fee for the redevelopment of this blog and I am really happy to have found two people that share my passion for this kind of topic such as sustainability and the important role of the web to promote sustainability across the globe.
The time plan is to have the new blog ready in 6-8 weeks so stay tuned to see the new and totally unique new design of this blog.
Once we have finished this redevelopment we are looking to update the SustainabilityBlog.org by giving it a brand new look and add some nice new features.

All the best,
Fabian

Today has been one of my more critical days!

I have written a post on SustainabilityBlog.org about the current discussion on whether to call Corporate Responsibility now Business Sustainability instead.

A ridicules discussion in my opinion and that is the message really of that post. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Corporate Responsibility or Business Sustainability?

Oh yes and I bought the domain GreenTalk.org yesterday. Sounds like a great discussion forum name in my opinion. ;-)

Take care.

Fabian

Something new on SustainabilityBlog.org

Just finished a new blog post today.

On the SustainabilityBlog.org I have listed good environmental/sustainability recruitment companies as well as good websites to look for interesting vacancies in the environmental field.
Take a look if you are interested.
And one other highlight of the day is that I am finally able to order business cards today for PB Consulting and the SustainabilityForum.com. It took some time but the layout looks great and I am eager to get them and distribute to everyone! :-)
