Finance planning is connected to food intake. If you have a bad relationship with food, chances are high that you also have a bad relationship with money. You might tend to overeat and overspend, especially when stressed out. “Why did I not learn more about Finance?” I repeatedly asked myself. Since I started my own business, will I ever understand the financial side? Will I ever get better at managing cash flow? It didn’t make sense to me. I was good with computing cost projections and balance sheets in Global Mobility. I was an excellent math student in high school. I like numbers. My issue was that I lacked the practical understanding of a “good housewife.” I was curious to […]

Facebook has changed considerably since we initially logged in in 2008. Back then, Facebook was still called “The Facebook.” Facebook has advanced dangerously fast since then, and it’ll continue to adapt and improve at a quick speed however long it exists. Multiple updates and new features are rolling out regularly, but the core concept and workings have not changed essentially. It’s a place where you can connect and network. Being an expat, you can find like minded people and even make friends via Facebook groups. It is now going to turn into a metaverse wherein we can interact in virtual worlds focused on social connections. Metaverse is however still in its introductory phase so we will see if it will […]

Unlike traditional teams, global virtual teams don’t meet at the same location daily, which is becoming more feasible in this century. Globalization has created this concept, a common phenomenon in large organizations and small businesses. According to the Clutch Remote Work Survey, most U.S. workers temporarily work from home at least one day per week, and this trend is not about to fade.

Learning to lead global virtual Teams better was a big motivator for me to finalize and publish “The Global Rockstar Album – 21 Verses to Find Your Tact […]

Job postings are crucial in attracting diverse talent, but overt and subtle discriminatory language can inadvertently exclude certain groups. In Switzerland, where diversity is supposedly valued, discriminatory language must be recognized and eliminated from job advertisements. Creating inclusive job postings in Switzerland fosters diversity and attracts many talents. Organizations can contribute to a more equitable and welcoming job market by carefully crafting language and eliminating unintentional biases. Why do we need to get better at writing inclusive job postings? Diverse Talent Pool: Inclusive language attracts candidates from various backgrounds, promoting a diverse and dynamic workforce. We suffer from a lack of talent, and at the same time, we hold back diverse talent from applying to our jobs because we use […]

How many times do you open your inbox and find over a hundred unread emails? And how often do you “clean your inbox” just to find it overflowing with emails again the day after? One of the reasons why I get stressed around emails is that I spend a whole day in a workshop and I cannot check my emails because it would distract my mind too much. Then I check my emails after the workshop when I am already exhausted and know that I have a lot of tasks and queries to handle. When I worked in the corporate world, I would often have a day full of meetings and calls and come back to my desk at 5 […]
