MEDIA
What is coaching?
Many coaches would say: coaching is a space for the client’s very best thinking. But what makes good coaching? And is it truly a new mindset for work, management and life – or just a fad?
The art of listening
We live in the age of broadcasting: We do TED talks, Podcasts, Blogs. We share our images on Instagram, our success stories on LinkedIn and our cat videos on Facebook. We are pros at sending. But what about receiving? A few thoughts on the endangered art of listening.
Women for Cyber!
I wanted to speak with Helen Negre and Marta Garcia about Cybersecurity in the Rail Industry. Soon enough, we explored instead why there are so few women in the industry. Time for change!
Neuroscience
Understand the brain to understand the mind. How neuroscience can help us develop and keep good habits (and get rid of bad ones). Context matters more than we think – and here is why that’s bad news.
GIVING BACK
I work with leaders who have a voice and who get heard. Having a voice should not be a privilege. That’s why I proudly support the next generation. Actorstudio offers performing arts courses in Bogotá, Colombia. Many of their students don’t have the means to pay for their education.
But they greatly benefit from building confidence and skills which make them more employable – and from finding their voice. I support through coaching and scholarships. Get in touch if you want to support the next generation, too.
