As leaders, the notion of motivating others is a common topic of discussion and is often a requested topic during my training sessions. However, I usually suggest a shift in perspective: instead of trying to motivate our teams directly, let’s focus on the power of inspiration. Probably, we all know that true inspiration comes not […]

This morning, as we sailed to the island, I reflected deeply on how people from different backgrounds come together to collectively experience something. Just like in an organization, where people of diverse backgrounds meet every day to achieve something together.

This time, I’ve chosen the topic of projections โ 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
I have. On days when there is no uncertainty, I have seen that person in the mirror. Confidence often moves between inferiority and superiority, creating challenges at both ends of relationships. At one moment, we make ourselves invisible (especially in front of authorities), or we puff ourselves up like a peacock to appear important, valuable,

Do you remember the school days when a grade of 5 started dropping to 4, then 3, and so on? Mistakes decreased the final grade. There wasn’t a systemized chance to get a grade of 6 and more or an exam result of 100 instead of 120, which would have resulted in some sort of
