Georg Tarne (Germany)
Georg is a Social Entrepreneur and New Work Consultant. Before he founded the social startup Soulbottles in 2012 he worked as an NVC trainer and mediator. Soulbottles thus became a fertile ground for figuring out how a purpose-driven business functions when it has NVC as part of its DNA from the very beginning. 2.5 years in Soulbottles adopted Holacracy as a way of structuring the work and moving beyond hierarchy or consensus rounds into effective self-organisation. Combined with NVC and regular „Clear the air“ – Meetings this makes for a really powerful combination that puts Soulbottles on the map as a leader in the international „Reinventing Organizations" movement. Georg handed over Soulbottles to the team in 2017, is currently developing his next Social Business and implements holistic self-organisation at other Holacracy companies or more conventional clients like Bosch, Audi/Volkswagen or Daimler.
