Every Friday before diving into the weekend I share my thoughts in my weekly blog (in English). Things that touched me, stuff I learned, people I met, challenges I faced, opportunities I see, dreams I try to put in words.

Some weeks ago, I moderated an event that left me thinking deeply, perhaps more than any session in a long time. One keynote in particular, by Peter De Keyzer, struck a chord. He spoke about how Europe, despite its ideals and ambitions, is slowly making itself vulnerable.Too many rules. Labour prices that are too high. […]
Two weeks ago I started a course on Artificial Intelligence. I wrote these lines 10 days before we started, let me share them with you: I’m genuinely excited about the course but I can’t help but wonder what happens to empathy as technology continues to evolve. AI fascinates me because it challenges the way we […]
As a moderator, I have the privilege, and sometimes the burden, of diving deep into very specific topics. Some weeks ago, while moderating for VIAS, the independent agency for road safety, we focused on the lifecycle of a crash. You’d think by now I’ve heard it all, the technical details, the statistics, the human stories […]
Peter Hinssen often shares the idea that there is more fiction in Excel than in Word in his amazing keynotes, and he has a point. By the way Peter remains one of the best speakers on a stage I have seen, he keeps making me smile, laugh even though I know his keynotes almost by […]
Today is 10/10, and I can’t help but pause at the beauty of numbers. Certain dates and numbers have always had a strange effect on me, almost as if they carry more weight than ordinary days. Is it coincidence, or something deeper? Maybe it’s just the human need for patterns. Maybe it’s numerology. Or maybe […]
This week, I had the privilege of attending the Amsterdam Business Forum, where I joined a VIP Q&A with Neil Pasricha, the author of The Happiness Equation. When I had the chance to ask him a question, I chose one that is close to my heart: What is your non-negotiable? His answer was simple, but […]
Watching my daughter fly out to begin her new adventure, I couldn’t help but feel a shift in how I see freedom. For her, freedom is about exploring, growing, living on her own terms. For me, as a mother, freedom means letting go. Trusting. Accepting that her path now belongs more to her than to […]
Recently, I received a very angry email. The words hit me hard, even sharper than I expected. I carried them with me, replaying them in my mind, wondering if I had done something wrong, or if the reaction was simply unfair. Either way, it left a mark. And then… almost two months later, a new […]
