What does observing others say about us and how can we discover our untapped potential through this?

Today I’ll have a great opportunity to speak at the Annual Service Conference organized by Äripäev. This time, I’ve chosen the topic of projections – how, in the workplace, whether dealing with colleagues or clients, we encounter individuals who irritate us, get on our nerves, or conversely, whom we admire for their excellent behavior, qualities, or […]

Having worked as a leader for a long time, there has always been a certain sense of distance towards my own boss. Its roots lead very deeply to the relationship with life’s authorities – mother and father. Also, a similar

The feeling of abandonment can strike all of us, as we have all experienced it previously (for example, at birth), and it remains in our bodies even if we don’t consciously remember it. One of the most classical triggers of abandonment wounds occurs in situations where a leader does not give equal attention to team

Last week, I had the privilege of speaking at a psychology conference organized by the Eesti Koolitus- ja Konverentsikeskus. I shared my thoughts on success and unlocking one’s potential. Inspired by Deepak Chopra’s approach, I shared my belief that success can be divided into two categories: 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 and 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴. While seeking external

As we grow professionally, it’s important to balance being active and staying humble. Being active towards all the problems we face is common corporate expectation, but sometimes being active is just to show that I’m active even though only thing you need is acceptance and being humble of circumstances. Being active helps us move forward,

“𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬.”

One of my clients said this sentence during our conversation, and it stuck with me afterward. It truly resonated with me. Often, we hear people talking about how time passes quickly, but have we ever stopped to consider that time doesn’t disappear, but it emerges? Time is more than just the ticking of the clock.
