What I think!

Can perfectionism get in the way of progress?

Lately, I’ve started reformer pilates with a fantastic teacher. And while I love it, I quickly noticed something: my background as a dancer is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, my body remembers so much, like the posture, the alignment, the discipline. On the other hand, that same dancer’s mindset whispers: […]

When should you stick to your non-negotiables?

We all have them, the boundaries, values, and lines we won’t cross. Or at least, we should have them. In my book 10 Quintessential Questions, I wrote about the importance of knowing your non-negotiables. But let’s be honest: how often do we truly pause to define them?

Is creativity about building or rebuilding?

I recently listened to a podcast by Simon Sinek where he explored the meaning of creativity, together with a musician.

Can you taste creativity?

Cooking has always been one of my favorite creative outlets. There’s something magical about standing in a kitchen surrounded by ingredients, colors, textures, scents and letting inspiration take the lead. I love it most when I cook several dishes at the same time, as if my kitchen momentarily transforms into a small restaurant, full of […]

Is your job still bringing you joy?

They say “Job” and “Joy” are only one letter apart, yet sometimes, they feel worlds away. We spend a large part of our lives working. And for many, what starts as an exciting opportunity can slowly turn into a golden cage. Safe, comfortable, but sometimes also limiting. The view from inside might still be beautiful, […]

Can questions create leaders?

News reached me that Leonard Lauder passed away some weeks ago. He was not only known for his business legacy and the “lipstick economy” concept, but also for his reflections on leadership. In one of his final speeches, he said something that I agree with a lot: “Being a leader is not something you’re born […]
