“Hans was able to provide critical direction to Harlem Academy’s program development…When I think about how he approaches hard questions with me, it makes it easy to understand why motivated people value the chance to work on his team…Hans is a great problem solver, but he is even better at articulating and working toward a vision…at the retreat that he led he knew how to ask questions and share information in a manner that inspired collaboration and kept us focused on what would best move the school forward…Hans possesses tireless energy, a forthright, results-focused communications style, vision, and a passion for educational excellence. His work has been extraordinary, and I have no doubt that he will continue to make a difference here in New York City and wherever there is a challenge to overcome.”

Leadership Development and Personal Growth

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
― Lazarus Long — Time Enough for Love (Robert Heinlein)
Ernest Hemingway in his book "Death in the Afternoon," wrote:
A querencia is a place the bull naturally wants to go to in the ring, a preferred locality... It is a place which develops in the course of the fight where the bull makes his home. It does not usually show at once, but develops in his brain as the fight goes on. In this place he feels that he has his back against the wall and in his querencia he is inestimably more dangerous and almost impossible to kill.


"Querencia" can be seen as A metaphysical concept - a place of refuge and renewal.
