Proud moment

Just recently when I completed a really challenging project

Because, I needed to jump into delivering it by myself even though it was more than 10 years ago, that I was doing project management by myself.

Something that drives me crazy 😵‍💫 🤬

Being ignored in almost every aspect

I am a complex character willing to spend time to understand people's rationale and am expecting at least some reciprocity for listening to me.

😬😧🥴 Recently went outside my comfort zone…

Throughout the pandemic I start to reinvent myself and am still into it.

I moved to totally digital working environment, defined my own productivity rules and have found my professional destiny for the next 10 years: I want to make people see how education and learning can make them understand technology in a way that they are willing to make their contribution.

Epic work fails

My biggest mistakes are that I think other people wish for the same

Ensure at which level and change willingness people are and accept, if they want to stay at their level / comfort zone etc.

When I'm stressed, you might notice me…

Calm down and simply very focused on the current task I need to accomplish

The negative stress typically comes with too many of an overwhelming amount of tasks to be completed --> I help to accept support.

Am I lucky?

I have definitely room for improvement in what to consider luck!

Because I have difficulties in valuing the positive encounters on a daily basis.

The best environment for me is:

time for deep work in the AM< 2 meetings no swiss cheese calendar

My most productive and creative time is in the morning and ideally without delivery tasks waiting for me in the same day.

People who have impacted how I see the 🌍

Scientistsparentsfriendscolleagues

Scientists because of their evidencing research and the way how they have concluded their opinions for a particular change (e.g. Brene Brown). Parents, friends and colleagues because of the way how they shared their experience in a particular situation to make me feel understood.

My biggest fear

Being helpless, invaded, or overwhelmedBeing without support or security, or being abandonedBeing in conflict or separated from others, being without connection

When I shared personal threats in the past, I didn't gain the impression, that I am having a dialogue - it was more a kind of "OK, can we just move on to our daily routines?"
