Engagement when doing online events is even more paramount than offline. Our attention span seems to be even shorter and because sometimes the cameras are off, we, as participants, tend to do so many other things while we have the meeting/webinar/workshop online (myself guilty as charged). Only in March/April, I have led around 30 hours […]
How many times have you waited to present a business case or an idea for a project because it was not yet perfect, just to be beaten by the punch by someone else? Or how many weeks have you allowed to go by before asking him out, only to find out he has started dating […]
Two days by the desk after the holidays, and it is the same as you had no holidays. You do not recall ever being on holidays, right? You are totally swamped with emails and tasks that needed to have been done two weeks ago. How do you make sure to preserve that state of balance […]
No, this is not a story of a former drug addict who used to live in her car. I was not born in a slum, nor have I ever been homeless (so far). Was I forced to only eat instant noodles and drink boxed wine for some period of my life? Perhaps. Also, I used […]

Never felt like dropping a bomb on your manager, wife, boyfriend, parents? I bet you did. You don’t need to tell me, but I know you did. Thankfully you don’t have a nuke […]
I have clients who come to me because they want to manage their teams better and it always leaves me with an uneasy feeling in my stomach. Behind that discomfort could be a belief that, like “Simon says”: “You manage things, you lead people”. Management is a noun meaning “the control and organization of something” […]

Simply because it’s not only about endless options of different types of TVs and chocolate […]
Exactly, why??? Once you start the journey of personal development, it feels like a bottomless pit. You work with one thing and another issue comes up and the story never ends. So why even start? I have been working on myself for decades now (I know, I am too young to be that old 🙂 […]
