Embracing the Sandbox

Even though I am taking some weeks off at the moment, I find myself looking forward to the opportunities that lie ahead, especially the chance to try things out in a sandbox environment. This space, free from the usual constraints and pressures, offers a unique playground for creativity and innovation. Some of the things I talk about in my book '10 quintessential questions"

Do you know what we call a sandbox environment? It is a place where we can experiment without fear of failure. It’s a place to test new ideas, explore different strategies, and push the boundaries of what’s possible. For me, it’s about more than just playing with new tools or techniques; it’s about fostering a mindset of continuous learning and growth. As I am really part of the ‘never stop learning team’.

What I like is that in what we call ‘the sandbox’, mistakes are not setbacks but valuable lessons. Each trial and error helps us refine our approach and develop better solutions. It’s a space where curiosity reigns supreme and where asking the right questions can lead to breakthrough insights.
And that's obviously, as you might all know, my motto and middle name : curiosity.

I’m excited to dive into this sandbox with a great team around me, I cannot reveal more for the moment.
But I believe in challenging myself, and to see what emerges from this process of exploration and experimentation. It’s a reminder that progress often comes from stepping outside our comfort zones and daring to try something new.

As we head into the weekend, I encourage you all to find your own sandbox—whether it’s a new project at work, a hobby you’ve been wanting to explore, or a different way of thinking about a problem. Embrace the freedom to experiment, learn, and grow.

Looking forward to the thrill of the sandbox and the discoveries that await us all.
