🚀What if feeling stuck isn’t a problem—but a powerful form of self-protection? Feeling stuck is often seen as a failure or weakness, yet stuckness can actually serve as a powerful form of protection. In this MOTIVATE Community Sunday webinar, Stuckness as Protection, you’ll explore how feeling immobilized or uncertain can prevent impulsive decisions, emotional overwhelm, and unhealthy situations. Led by Harald Bartisch, Coach/Consultant and NLP Master Practitioner, this session reframes stuckness as a meaningful pause—one that invites reflection, clarity, and balance. You’ll learn how stuckness can arise from fear, self-doubt, low self-esteem, or external constraints, and how recognizing its protective role can reduce frustration and self-judgment. Through practical insights and NLP-informed strategies such as setting boundaries, gaining clarity, and seeking support, this webinar will help you move from stuckness to empowered, intentional action. 🗓️Join us on **February 8, 2025**, for the MOTIVATE Community Sunday webinar “**Stuckness as Protection**” with **Harald Bartisch**, Coach/Consultant and NLP Master Practitioner, as we explore how feeling stuck can guide meaningful change. 🎯 **Key Points / Takeaways for the Audience** ✅Stuckness is not always negative—it can be a form of protection that prevents rash decisions and supports reflection and healing. ✅Getting unstuck begins with identifying the true source of stuckness, whether it’s fear, self-doubt, protection, or external factors, and applying intentional strategies to address it. 🎯 **Additional Key Points / Takeaways / Benefits** ✅Stuckness as a signal: Learn to see stuckness as useful information rather than resistance or failure. ✅Boundaries restore balance: Discover how healthy boundaries reduce burnout and support forward movement. ✅Clarity creates momentum: Gain tools to clarify values and goals, reducing indecision and fear. ✅Small steps matter: Break overwhelm into manageable actions that rebuild confidence. ✅Support accelerates growth: Understand the role of coaches, mentors, and community in navigating stuckness effectively. **ABOUT THE SPEAKER**🎤 Harald Bartisch has more than 30+ years of experience in engineering, industrial plant construction projects, thereof 20+ years in managing production companies, leading staff members in China. Lately he decided to change his profession and work with people and touch people’s hearts, supporting them to move to the next level.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
