Author: Karsten Drath

About 30 years ago, two zis scholarships helped me to broaden my horizon, expand my understanding of what is possible, and develop more self-confidence. zis is a non-profit organization that has been awarding scholarships for study trips to young people between the ages of 16 and 20 for more than 60 years. Today, the word we use for tenacity and grit is resilience - and I've made it my profession, to help managers around the world to develop more of this inner power. In retrospect, the experiences I've had on these trips to Scotland and Iceland have been priceless for my development. After having had a childhood with some challenges, I learned that I could cycle 1,700km on my own and get wet every day without despairing. I have learned that I was able to get along with only 300 € for 4 weeks and still had a good time. I have learned what it's like to be threatened with deportation and how to get an interview with the President from such a crisis. I have understood that limitations are primarily constructs in our heads, and I want to make these insights available to as many adolescents as possible.

News Coverage

Day 34: Toronto to Frankfurt

The last day went by quickly. After sleeping in, late breakfast, and packing I had organized an Uber XL, another great idea from Aaron. It turned out that my Uber driver had been a professional marathon runner from Ethiopia named Teresa Fekensa who had come to Canada in 2017. He had won the Manitoba marathon … Continue reading Day 34: Toronto to Frankfurt →

After a deep, long sleep I had breakfast and then ventured out to take a water taxi to Toronto island. This had been a tip from my friend and former colleague Aaron. The water taxi was fun.
