We talk about work-life balance in many companies, but why are team dinners at 18.30? Maybe why team-bonding happens when someone’s child falls asleep or a partner is looking forward to a little time together in the evening? I’ve worked with several teams to do things like Christmas lunches or different breakfasts, so that team […]

Sounds like maturity, right? Like the ability to be a bigger person, but in reality … the phrase is full of hidden struggle. “Smarter” implies a priori that someone is dumber. Perhaps with this sentence we do not solve the situation – we label, compare, measure. This generally leads to nothing but discomfort. One wins

Suvi. Everything should be light, airy, holiday-weary…But you’ve got a desk full of stuff. Because the parties are resting – you’re replacing, covering, reacting, producing results for several.

The number of incapacity for work leaves due to burnout in Estonia increased by nearly 60% during the year.This was the news on ERR a few days ago, referring to data from Statistics Estonia. Not six percent. Sixty. And that’s when people go to the doctor. But I believe that most of the time people

The quality and standard of what a person can offer at work directly depends on the choices they see and perceive in their lives. If a person perceives that “I have no choices in life”, they cannot be expected to show initiative, responsibility or creativity and offer new added value to the customer. 📍 If,

Do I want what I want to happen?Or am I ready for what is bound to happen? As leaders, we are used to planning, directing, making an effort, organising and taking action.
