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…

How to Build Trust Across Borders: Soft Skills in Hard Systems
In a world of growing international cooperation, it’s easy to get lost in the formalities—policies, deliverables, deadlines, compliance frameworks. But behind every successful multinational initiative is something less visible and more fragile: trust. The kind of trust that doesn’t appear in reports, yet makes or breaks entire projects. As someone who has managed European project…

Spotting the Signs of Quiet Burnout
When I was a chief of staff, I experienced severe burnout, and after that, I thought I knew what “burnout was”. However, I did not understand then that burnout can take many shapes, and that you can actually experience it several times in your life without going through the exact same triggers and living the…

Why emails kill your efficiency and mental health (and how to correct it)

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…

Another life update (yes, that is the 1st 2023 post!)
To be honest, I arrived at the automatic yearly payment for my blog last May and started writing this post. Then, I felt uninspired and left it for the day I would feel like the time had come to start writing rather seriously again. Thus, maybe it is time to start again? For sure, I…
