There’s always a plan in life, but whether we can see it and trust it is another matter. For example, it’s usually only after a difficult period that we realize it was good for something and, in the grand scheme of things, brought us closer to something we didn’t know we wanted, but that we

A few days ago, a client used the following phrase to introduce himself: “I usually need to see the big picture, and then I dive into the details.” That got me thinking about how much of the big picture we’re actually able—or willing—to see. And where is the line between the big picture and the

It’s easy to say, “Slow down,” but why is it actually so hard to do that and follow the advice? Could it be that we don’t really want to take it easier? I often see this in one-on-one counseling sessions: clients come in wanting to plan their time and priorities better, learn to make time

My Portuguese teacher made this claim to me so that we could discuss it and improve language learning. “Of course they do,” was my reply. That answer came automatically, without thinking, as if out of nowhere. As I reflected on this later in my native language, I realized that, indeed, perhaps everyone always knows this,

Since today is September 1, it’s very fitting to revisit the podcast withschool principal Sirje Kautsaarthat was released in June. That’s because I began the podcast recording with Sirje by asking exactly that question: how can we possibly know what skills we’ll need in the future job market?

The summer season of self-improvement festivals is gradually coming to an end, and office buildings and conference halls await us. Since I am actively involved in both teaching and learning in both areas (business and personal development), I’ve been thinking a lot lately about whether there really is a difference between these two systems, and

Many people who have explored self-development are familiar with a diagnosis called “inadequacy.” Those who have worked through past wounds know that their roots always lead back to relationships with parents or teachers and coaches for whom nothing was ever good enough. After all, that same model carries over to school (where there’s a maximum

As I constantly meet with clients online, I realize just how much I enjoy this work. Every time, both the client and, of course, I myself gain new insights and make progress in life! So, let me know if I can be your companion on this journey! Those of you who have been following me

The turn of the year is something that makes many people think about their plans, wishes and goals for the new year. After about 15 years of managing various sales and service units, I am no longer a big fan of goal setting in my personal life, as it often repeats the human-doing part instead

I believe that for many LinkedIn users, and especially the 1% of users who post regularly and see other people in their field, it seems like it’s all just self-promotion on this platform. Who uses marketing vulnerability (I-had-a-vulnerability-I-was-avoiding-you-needed-to-learn-me-way), ultrategism (take-responsibility-do-be-effective-do-no-responsibility), or a search-for-potential-clients-through-a-questionnaire, or some other way.
