You don’t need to reinvent everything. Just reconnect to what matters.
Sometimes, we feel stuck and our first instinct is to burn it all down. New career? New city? New version of yourself entirely? We dream of radical reinvention when things feel stagnant, thinking that a total change is the only way forward. But here’s a truth I’ve lived through, professionally and personally: You don’t need…

Yes, You Can Be Serious About 5 Things at Once
For the longest time, I felt awkward introducing myself. Was I a translator? A communication strategist? A project manager? A coach? An educator? I used to worry that I looked “all over the place.” Like someone who couldn’t make up her mind. The world loves tidy titles. One path. One brand. One LinkedIn headline that…

Why and how not to be a people pleaser at work
Let’s be honest—no one wants to be “that person” at work. The one who causes friction, pushes back too hard, or seems difficult to work with.

Why emails kill your efficiency and mental health (and how to correct it)
I have published lately a post on a mindset shift: looking efficient is sometimes counter-efficient. In the latter, I suggested writing an entire post on the question of emails, and why they more often than not kill your efficiency. On average, we receive about 100 emails/day when in a leading position, and somehow I do…

Mindset shift: learn to do what you want to outsource!
Here I am again with a counter-intuitive post because this is what I love writing the most (and I know you love them too!). One of the fun parts of blogging, in my opinion, is the possibility of opening my readers’ minds (and mine, actually) to new ways of thinking about old things. Today, I…

Study what you love: your degree won’t give you a job, you will – A controversial opinion on choosing degrees.
As you know, I am quite a fan of unconventional mindsets when it comes to studying. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about the choices we make when it comes to the degrees we choose. Quite often, we choose a degree based on the options it keeps open for us; however, more often than…
