It’s about time we make it clear. Organizations that increase gender diversity see corresponding increases in financial results, innovation, and employee satisfaction. When women are in the workplace, people report enjoying work more. Organizations with women in senior management positions, and on their boards of directors, report higher financial returns to shareholders.

I was going to name this article “How to reach your goals” but then I fell prey to our current clickbait culture and switched it up. I realized that headlines that attack me always grab my attention so I thought “Why not attack others now?”.

In this article I will share why goal-setting is silver and something else is gold!

Creativity is a quality that very rarely is mentioned or talked about if you’re not working in marketing or other classic creative roles. For me, this is very strange since creativity is the seed to some of the most common qualities mentioned in job ads and success stories. Creativity is the foundation of problem solving, team building and innovation. Yet, it is a quality rarely mentioned in business rooms in my experience. As I have a side business as an artist I boost my creativity almost every day and one thing that I have learned over the last few years is that creativity is your biggest asset, regardless of what role or job you have. I’m going to tell you why!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to do something I love, something that I’m passionate about. If you’re reading this, odds are you feel the same way. Maybe you’ve come to realise that there’s more to life than a lacklustre 9-to-5 and limited time to actually do the things you love, see the world and spend time with loved ones–and having the financial means to do it. 

Moving abroad is a transformational experience. I knew I wanted to move abroad, but I didn't know where to start and how to do it. I was actively looking on the internet, but it seemed no opportunity was available for me. But all of a sudden, the possibility came and I moved within 4 days. Let me tell my story of living in 5 countries in the past 4 years.

Five words that will f**k you up in life is: “What will other people think?”

Have you ever put on a bold outfit, written a vulnerable post ready to press publish on social media or wanted to change direction completely in your career - just to a few moments later think “but what will other people think of this” and then change your mind?

You are not alone. We live in a world where we adjust ourselves a lot to other people's opinions and expectations. We are used to listening to others and seeking approval externally instead of listening inwards and reflecting on what we actually want.

Vulnerability is described as ‘the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed; either physically or emotionally’. Looking at vulnerability from a definitive perspective, vulnerability is not an area that the majority of us would like to be put in, purely because it can expose us to potential harm both physically and mentally. Why on the planet would I ever want to be vulnerable? - is a question that you are probably asking yourselves. In the article I will demonstrate why.

My four years at Uni was some of the best years of my life. I had a lot of fun, learned a ton, met great friends and found the love of my life - when I think of those years I think of feeling free and feeling as myself. Therefore, with all facts in hand, it shouldn’t been a chocker that I wanted to run my own business - but it was, because it didn’t occur to me until years later. In today’s article I will share my insights and talk about how to create a heart-centered career.

For as long as I can remember I’ve worked in male dominated industries. And for a very long time, I thought I needed to become “one of the guys” to fit in and be respected. In this post I reflect on why trying to be a man is a waste of a woman.

If there is something I am most proud of, it’s my self-confidence. My ability to walk into a room with my head held high, with the belief that I am worthy, I am able, and I am capable. I can say with no doubt in my mind that I can and will achieve whatever I set my mind to, with no hesitation. I believe in myself so much so that I can bet everything on myself and know that I will win, every time. Has it always been this way? Absolutely not. My confidence is something I have built, brick by brick and so can you.
