What I think!

Suyin’s Friday Thoughts

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.

Do I prepare for an interview?

Of course, I prepare. To me, not preparing would be a lack of respect. But the most important part of an interview isn’t the preparation, it is about being fully present the moment the conversation begins. I don’t just listen to the words spoken; I listen to what remains unsaid. I pay attention to tone, […]

Do we truly understand the weight of speaking our truth?

A while ago, I had the privilege of meeting Lale Gül, an author whose journey has not only captured attention but deeply moved me.

In my Friday Thoughts, I explore the power of questions, big questions, small questions, and sometimes the ones we think we already know the answers to.

Are specialist and generalists really that different?

In my podcast with my co-host Celine Malyster, I  explore the world of specialists, those who dedicate their entire careers to mastering one field, one craft, one expertise. Their focus is admirable, their commitment incredible. Some spend decades refining a single skill, pushing boundaries in their industry, and becoming the go-to experts in their domain. […]

What if raising a daughter is the ultimate act of empowerment?

March 8 has always been a powerful day “International Women’s Day”, a moment to reflect on the rights, struggles, and triumphs of women around the world. But for me, this date carries an even deeper significance. Eighteen years ago, on this very day, I became a mother. My eldest daughter was born, and with her […]

Why vulnerability is the key to asking quintessential questions?

One year ago, I launched “10 Quintessential Questions“, a book born from my belief that we should never stop questioning the why. I chose to release it in a leap year, a moment that reminds us that sometimes, we get an extra day, that is a chance to pause, reflect, and maybe even take a […]
