Wat ik denk en deel in mijn wekelijkse blog

Suyin's vrijdag-gedachten

Ik schreef 405 blogartikels op vrijdag, van 27 maart 2018 tot 26 december 2025.

Voor ik het weekend indook, deelde ik mijn Friday Thoughts. Ik schreef over dingen die me raakten, over wat ik leerde, over de mensen die ik ontmoette, de uitdagingen waarmee ik werd geconfronteerd, de kansen die ik zag, en de dromen die ik in woorden probeerde te vatten. In 2026 bracht ik die droom naar een volgend niveau en creëerde ik mijn talkshow ‘Quintessential Conversations with Suyin Aerts’. Je kan de show beluisteren en bekijken via je favoriete podcastplatform en op YouTube.

Dilemma

It happens to me from time to time that I have a hard time making the decision as it seems as if I am confronted with a dilemma. Those situations where the right choice isn’t clear, and each option has its own set of pros and cons. Whether it’s a professional challenge or a personal […]

Criticism

It is not easy but I believe we can evolve a lot if we are able to really embrace the fact that there is a silver lining in criticism. Even though I know it can highlight blind spots we were unaware of, pushing us out of our comfort zones and driving personal and professional growth, […]

Toxic Leadership

We see more and more articles in the newspapers about toxic leadership. I have the feeling that the new generations do not agree as we might have agreed too much with dominant and even toxic leaders before. I was talking about it recently with a friend wondering if toxic leaders are more present in a […]

Modesty

Most of the time we say that modesty is an admirable quality. Modesty can build strong relationships, foster a collaborative spirit, and create a positive environment where everyone feels valued, However, there’s a fine line between modesty and becoming excessive reticent. I believe that excessive modesty could also become a bad quality. It can lead […]
