Take a chance on yourself

Do you want to change your job, realise a new project or give your life an entirely different direction? Waiting for change to happen by chance will probably not do the trick. This might look like a negative at first. However, it actually gives you a lot of power, if you think about it. What it really means is that you do not have to accept to depend on some external factors and that you can take your destiny in your own hands.

What’s your cultural mindset?

So you are getting ready for your summer vacation. You have chosen your destination, maybe a long standing target from your bucket list, and now you are all set to get on that plane, on the train or in the car and start your adventure. Did you think about buying a travel guide? Or did you research information about the country you travel to on the Internet? You did? Great!

International Women’s Day 2019: Why we need to ‚evolutionise‘ the revolution

As NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says in her #IWD2019 message on Linkedin: “There are things to celebrate, and there are things that we need to focus on continuing to improve, if we are to reach equality for women.” She does so with a big smile on her face – and with open ...

Confirm Humanity: Why we should take this invitation literally. In our interpersonal relationships. Daily.

I am still surprised every time the request ‘confirm humanity’ pops up on my screen. Not quite sure how many years ago this screen command has found its way into our computer systems, it makes me think how far we sometimes – in everyday...

The hard truth about soft skills: are they really that ‘soft’?

Whenever the subject comes to soft skills, I get the unmistakable feeling that this expression has always been used in a misleading way and does not take the significance of its content into account at all. On the contrary, soft skills are hard-to-achieve skills – and they have become increasingly important in today's working environment...

Football World Cup and change of perspective

It is the 38th minute, and suddenly, everyone on the pitch gets really hectic. The opposing team is ready for their attack and heads towards the goal, closely followed by defenders of our team. Immediately, the goalkeeper is alerted and brings his body into a position that should cover as wide a range of the goal as possible, flexibly...

Leadership is an attitude, a mindset. Not an action.

Many articles have been written about leadership, its characteristics, how to behave as a leader and how to ‘act’ when you are in a leadership position. Here’s my view: Leadership is a frequently used word. You will find numerous definitions, some of them claiming it to be an ‘innate’ skill that cannot be taught. And yet, it is one of the most....

We might not always have control. However, we do have choice.

In today’s LinkedIn rundown, a quote from Bruce Kasanoff (Ikigai Park City co-founder) caught my attention: “Life is messy. Careers are messy. Since you can’t shift the messy nature of our world, you only have one logical choice: shift your mindset.” The most successful people in both professional and private life, are....

What a fern leaf tells us about human potential

… and why I chose it as my company’s logo. Have you ever looked closely at a fern leaf? And if so, did you realise all those countless single parts are made up of tiny branches, multitudinous ramifications and furry leaves, all nicely and neatly rolled into one single bowl, before it unfurls to its ‘adult’ size and beauty? Not one leaf is equal to another, each one is...
