Chris Kala invited me to his podcast and well, it was a great 2.5 hours. We talked a lot about leadership, self-leadership as well as temptations as a leader, organisational culture, pain and people-centred leadership, money and much more. Watch Chris Kala’s podcast on Youtube or listen on Spotify and have your say. Whoever writes […]

Feeling guilty about doing nothing is a common struggle, especially for entrepreneurs accustomed to constant hustle. I have realized lately that doing nothing isn’t laziness; it’s self-care and even more – it is a seed for the future trees. Embrace the freedom to just simply be. Remember, productivity isn’t just about doing more; it’s about
What does this phrase mean? Are you not living your life every day and simply a quick tool for completing tasks?
If you feel like everyday life is pressing on you and days seem to blur into one gray mass of completing task after task despite your intentions to take more time for yourself, then ask yourself:

Being result-oriented and with mindset of end-gaining in organizations, we find ourselves caught in a cycle of change that only brings more changes, unfortunately without solving the underlying issues. Tensions accumulate over time and thus releasing them also happens gradually. However, in organizations, there’s often a false hope to resolve quikly the tensions accumulated over
Hippocrates said: “๐๐ฆ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ, ๐ข๐ด๐ฌ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ ๐ช๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ’๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐จ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ ๐ด๐ช๐ค๐ฌ.”
He meant it in the context of personal health, but isn’t the same true for the health of an organization, letโs say the culture of the organization?
Imagine trying to mend an organizational culture, empower an employee, or guide a manager, only to find they’re clinging tightly to the victim state. Sometimes, people are afraid to get out of their victim state because it’s beneficial to them for some reason. So, if you’re going there to help them and make things better, you might just hit yourself against the wall.
I often receive the question: “How to deal with difficult people and lead challenging conversations?” Typically, leaders already have the answers within them, but the most critical question to consider in planning the next steps, especially for leaders facing challenges with a team member, is: “Do I believe in this person?”
In moments of challenge, it’s vital to remember: it’s not the person who’s problematic, but the behavior. As leaders, our role extends beyond addressing issues, it’s about fostering belief.
As the initial enthusiasm of the new year fades, many find themselves grappling with the challenge of sustaining resolutions. Around the two to three-week mark, the initial burst of motivation can give way to hesitations and resistance. I believe we all have felt how habits have power over us. But they are neither inherently good

Once again, a nice stack of devotional books for Christmas gifts on their way! As Christmas approached, I was approached again by a manager who is giving my book to all his team members. Moments like these are somehow especially touching when someone sees that time with my thoughts could be a gift for someone!

Is work/life balance enough? Not enough…
Below is a picture that I occasionally draw in training courses, and that’s where the photo comes from. Anyone who has been to my training courses knows that I draw a lot of triangles, and that one very important triangle is the work+life+recreation triangle.
If anyone remembers from 6th grade math, the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, and if the angles are equal, they are all 60 degrees. As some angles get larger (for example 100 degrees, others get smaller).

Some time ago I heard the admission that the holistic regression therapy I do in addition to leadership training is not scientifically proven.
It’s true. A thing becomes scientific the moment the first academic paper is published, and an “unrecognised” thing thereby becomes “recognised”. But it doesn’t matter. It’s all about experience and my experience with this style of therapy has been life-changing:
