Stretch to Strengthen: What Pliability Taught Me About Leadership
It doesn’t look impressive. There’s no speed. No sweat. Just stillness. Breath. And a long, quiet stretch that seems to last forever. This is pliability training. And while it might not look like much from the outside, what’s happening inside — in your muscles, in your breath, in your brain — is powerful. Pliability is the practice of training your body to become more limber, resilient, and adaptable. It’s not about passive stretching. It’s about holding a pose longer than you’re used to, leaning into the discomfort, and breathing through it until your nervous system softens. Sound familiar? It should. Because that’s not just how you train on the mat…

Breath: The Leadership Tool Hiding in Plain Sight
Just Breathe. If you had asked me a few years ago if I needed help with breathing, I would’ve smiled politely and said, “No thank you—I’m already doing that just fine.” Breathing is automatic, right? It’s one of the few things we do from the moment we’re born until the moment we die. So we don’t think about it. We don’t question it. We just… breathe. And yet, that quiet rhythm—so natural, so essential—was something I didn’t realize I had so much to relearn. It started with a book. Breath by James Nestor. Maybe you’ve read it. Maybe you’ve heard of it. If not, consider this your gentle nudge to…

Words That Build Us: The Power of Affirmations for High-Achieving Women
Let’s talk about affirmations. I’ll be honest with you—this wasn’t something that came naturally to me. In fact, the first time I heard someone say “Just repeat this affirmation every morning while looking in the mirror,” I inwardly rolled my eyes. It felt fluffy. Like I was being asked to chant rainbows into existence. And I’m not here for googoo energy or spiritual bypassing. But I am here for living fully, intentionally, and in alignment with how I’m actually designed to move through the world. I care deeply about coherence—between my thoughts, my actions, my values, and my potential. So I kept leaning in, looking past the clichés, and asking:…

Happy Easter 2021 – but how?
Easter 2021 is a chance for recharging, reflection and refocus. Four days in a row given to you – with no special family assignments, official gatherings or even services. At the same time, you cannot rely on any routines as most of your usual Easter activities probably have been canceled. In order to use your time well, some thoughts in advance are needed. Why? If you think back of the past weeks: what particular moments can you remember? Often people refer to this corona time like one endless week in which each day is so similar to all this others that it is hard to tell what happened when. Easter…

The wonder of first sight
Do you remember a moment when you visited a place for the first time and you fell in love? There was this specific sparkle and the marvellous feeling of having found something special. The wonder of first sight feels warm and cosy. You look at every detail, inhale the air consciously, touch leaves, trees or water and explore nature with your whole being. This feeling also shows up when you see something cute or extraordinary beautiful – a newborn, puppy or piece of art. Fascination takes over and you concentrate on every detail in this moment. Time stands still as you explore every attribute while absorbing the beauty and wonder…

This crisis kills my empathy
Working in virtual teams has been around for years in project management and consulting. But the extend in which we now work remotely is new. And this is why project leads and management members in consulting need to adapt their leadership style accordingly. Before the pandemic, a good portion of the day was already spent at the laptop and in calls. But there were breaks to chat with colleagues over a cup of coffee. Often these talks were work-unrelated and even with people who weren’t on the same project. We just bumped into them by accident when leaving our desk. But in home office or people-reduced corporate offices, we don’t…

Give and it will be given to you – the Paradox of Gratitude
Surprisingly a thankful heart benefits the thankful person the most. Although people will be smiling and happy when you express your gratitude towards them, you will be feeling this warm and comfy emotion of happiness, too. It is you who feels the joy and calmness resulting from a heart of gratitude. I am always astonished of these paradoxes of life. Though I am giving, I don’t lose anything. Even more – I am winning. Winning friends, good relationships and a heart that is at peace. Give, and it will be given to you. Jesus [Luke 6, 38a | The Bible] This principle can even be found in the bible. It…
