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.

This week, my team came up with a great idea: what if people started sending in questions they’re curious to hear my answers to for the blog or podcast? I loved the idea immediately. And then came the twist: “Why don’t you start by answering our question?” Fair enough. So how do I balance a […]
Intuition is whispering to us all the time, but we’re usually too busy or distracted to truly listen. Yet, when we make decisions or reach out to people based on a random gut feeling, great things can happen. Lately, I’ve noticed that some of my tribe is changing.
