Update in leadership perception 🎉 Seeing sound, hearing colorInsights from Paris! More Human AI-Augmented Coaching

Find highlights in DE and EN at the end
Welcome to your fresh DesignChange edition, delivered every Tuesday at 8am to over 740 forward-thinking leaders like you!
I just returned from Paris, where I visited the Wassily Kandinsky exhibition at the Parisian Philharmonie. Standing before his paintings, I experienced what he intended: seeing sound, hearing color. His art widened my perception. He invites us to see, feel, and hear differently.
🌿 When Leaders Learn to See Differently
Leadership requires expanded perception too.
Think about your last difficult conversation.
What did you notice?
- The words?
- The emotion underneath?
- The tension?
- What wasn’t being said?
Most leaders focus on one channel.
But effective leadership requires perceiving multiple dimensions at once.
Both logic AND emotion, what’s spoken AND unspoken, present conflict AND future relationship, should weigh in ……
đź’ˇ LeadershipLab Tip: The Multi-Sensory Leadership Framework
Try this now: your 5-Minute conflict navigation reset
Before your next difficult conversation, engage all your leadership senses:
What do you see? Body language, energy shifts, who’s leaning in or pulling back.
Try it: Observe without speaking for two minutes. What patterns emerge?
What do you hear? Listen to tone, pace, pauses. What’s the emotional texture?
Practice: Notice when someone’s words say “I’m fine” but their voice says something else.
What do you sense? Trust your intuition. Where’s the real issue hiding?
Apply it: Before responding, ask: “What’s really happening here?”
🤖 MirandAI Update: Testing Conflict Management
MirandAI is now being tested for conflict management scenarios.
Early results are remarkable.
When users bring difficult colleague situations, MirandAI helps them:
- Recognize and validate emotions first
- Explore what might be happening for the other person
- Identify their own triggers and patterns
- Co-create realistic next steps
One tester noted: “It helped me see the situation from three different angles. I went from feeling defensive to feeling more open, even curious.”

🧠Sharing Feedback: Here’s what a leader said recently about working with me
“Karla erfasst sehr schnell und akkurat, wo meine Spannungslinien verlaufen. Sie hilft mir mit beeindruckenden Zielsicherheit, daran zu arbeiten. Perfect match.”
Perhaps you recognize this feeling … knowing there’s tension, but not quite seeing where it comes from or how to address it effectively?
Whether you prefer coaching in English or German, I work seamlessly in both languages to help you find that clarity.
🤝 With extensive experience in education and 3,500+ coaching hours, I work with leaders who want to navigate conflict with confidence, expand their perception, and lead with self-awareness.

Warm wishes, Karla and the DesignChange team
