QX-Story
In 1995, Thomas Fuchs founded an institute in Frankfurt dedicated to connecting students with exclusive international internship opportunities. The innovative format and unconventional selection process quickly captured public attention, attracting a high number of applicants. As a natural outcome, the selected students expressed a strong desire for ongoing exchange and deeper engagement. To meet this demand, he introduced the Quarterly Crossing Saturday brunch—a quarterly gathering for selected participants and their peers. Over time, this event became synonymous with the community itself and ultimately inspired the name of the network.
Thus, the concept of what is now universally known as "networking" was already being practiced—long before it became recognized as an essential pillar of a successful career. Always guided by the principle of mutual inspiration—learning from one another and growing together.
Die ersten „Crossings“ fanden 1995 mit Studierenden in München statt. Was als Netzwerk begann, entwickelte sich über drei Jahrzehnte zu einer einzigartigen Langzeitforschung über Leadership, Vertrauen und menschliche Wirkung. Aus tausenden Karrieren, Begegnungen und Lebenswegen entstand das QX Human Quality Operating System – die Grundlage unserer heutigen Leadership Society mit über 90 Formaten weltweit und unseres Beratungsansatzes, mit dem wir Human Quality auch in Organisationen systematisch entwickeln.
