Essays about the Simplicity Of Happiness and living the life you love!
I received a message from my coach, Rich Litvin, the other day, and it really resonated with me. I believe this is an important leadership insight: often, when people get defensive and make excuses, it stems from an underlying insecurity. How do you handle this when it happens in your team? And how do you deal with it when you catch yourself doing the same? My biggest takeaway from this message is that it’s okay… Read More »clean up your mess

I had a conversation the other day about distraction. I personally went off most social media in the last month. Since I have been traveling for most of my time for the last 10 years, I love to stay in contact and read about my friends’ updates as well as posting my own. Two things changed over the last years. Somehow my news feeds consist mostly of reposts written by people I don’t know, suggested… Read More »distraction of self worth
Today, I want to write about a topic that many of us tend to shy away from: failure. Yep, you heard me right! We’re diving headfirst into the world of setbacks, mishaps, and moments when things don’t quite go as planned. I could write an entire book about it, and yet those were the moments I learned the most. To people striving for success, failure often seems to be an obstacle, a setback to be… Read More »embracing failure – the key to success
Some people come into your life for a season, some for a reason, and some for a lifetime, but eventually, they all leave. The same goes for everything else that we let into our lives.

Since I am traveling most of the time, I won’t see most of the people I meet… Read More »why i am leaving social media

Life is a wild ride. As if to prove this saying, which is the shows motto right, I was sitting on a boat in the Mediterranean Sea on a stormy day when we recorded this conversation about life.
In mid 2021 I had this conversation with Paul about failures and how it is up to us, to change the meaning of a failure to turn it into positive learning experience. On this episode of My Perfect Failure (Failures Are Practice) If you feel like you are not quite living the life that inspires you to get out of bed in the morning. You’re not sure how to take big actions or decision to… Read More »my perfect failure
does more mean happier? There used to be a time when I had more stuff than I could possibly use. That didn’t happen accidentally but served two needs of mine (at least I thought so). On the one hand I wished to own things that gave me joy and on the other hand I wanted to look successful to others. I thought: once I proofed to the world (and myself) that I had success I… Read More »the struggle of having everything you want

I love the scenery with deep blue water an empty beach, the sun shining and the sky marvelous. Just creating these images in my mind puts me in a good mood. I feel light-hearted and free. As if the open sky and distant horizon tells me to leave the known behind, search the adventure and go wherever I wish.

simplify, simplify, simplify Let go of everything that holds you back from anything you want to achieve. Just be clear on this one: To simplify and to go minimal is the opposite of a loss. You are not missing out on anything. It is more about creating the space for the things you love most. The goal is to let go of the things, thoughts, possessions, friends that hold you back.

Again, I was surprised.
This was not the first time for me to visit Sahara in Morocco and visiting M‘Hamid lost a bit of the excitement of the first few times. Once I see the first dunes in the distance, it feels more like coming home to friends.
Ever tried to dance tango on your own? Difficult, right? Not only is it difficult alone, but also when you don’t harmonize with your partner and/or one is trying to lead by pressure. It is a silent cooperation that is based on a set of agreements. You set some boundaries for your joined experience and then you dance in harmony. It makes sense to decide beforehand if the dance will be polka or tango. all… Read More »takes two to tango
Most coachings are about reaching the next possible goal. Breaking it down in small reachable steps and setting the mindset to get started.

1. Desire to Help: I find fulfillment in assisting others, as it brings a sense of personal satisfaction. While it may seem altruistic, it’s worth acknowledging that as humans, we often find intrinsic joy in being of service to others.
2. Impact and Contribution: I aim to make a meaningful impact by sharing my knowledge. I believe in the power of investing in individuals who may not have the financial means but possess great potential. It’s akin to being a seed investor, sowing the seeds for future success.
3. Supporting Those in Need: Having experienced a period of financial constraints with abundant ideas, I recognize the importance of providing support to those who may not currently afford my services. This strategic generosity allows me to contribute to the growth of individuals who can benefit the most.
4. Effective Marketing: Offering free coaching serves as a powerful marketing tool. Recognizing the transformative nature of my coaching, I trust that those who experience it will remember and potentially return for future sessions. Additionally, satisfied individuals are likely to share their positive experiences, organically expanding my reach.
