What do you think when I tell you that as entrepreneurs we need to be versatile enough to navigate the complexities?
It is something that has been proven to be even more important than I thought when I first started as a partner in the company my husband founded almost 30 years ago.
I really thought that with my experience in topsports, media, acting, fashion and with my studies in business and project management I was the one that was gonna be brave enough to use some tactics from change management and fix anything that was loose, back then, in our company.
I do think that the ‘freshness’ in business about 15 years ago made me naive enough to go for change, to challenge any status quo.
After some years one might assume that when things are clean, successful and up and running with an amazing team, things are settled, and you can put your versatility in a drawer.
Well I can tell anyone, think again.
What I realize now is that after more than 15 years of being a partner in our company, I have to be more versatile than I thought I could handle. I really realize that versatility is one of my USP’s, one of my unfair advantages as described by Carole Lamarque.
So let’s not underestimate agility and versatility and let’s realize that some have it in their DNA, but it's important to teach anyone to become more versatile in an era marked by rapid technological advancements
After a week of events both as a moderator and a guest going from the Olympic games in Paris for Belgian Cycling, the 3 years anniversary of an amazing project for youth in the capital of Europe, a top seminar for entrepreneurs with 10 amazing speakers, an event about Sponsorships with the most amazing project and today, on my mothers birthday an event on AI in Finance, I realize that versatility is a word that suits me very well.
I think I am gonna make it a new mission to make people aware of how versatility and asking the right questions will be crucial for the direction of their life.
The leading path that your business will need to stay relevant, and if you are not in business, let’s be honest who is the CEO of your life?
