Only the Ego Creates Meaning: New Blog Post! Many of us fool ourselves into thinking that our version of events is the objective truth, but in reality, our version of the "truth" is heavily influenced by our own perspective. And even more so by our ego mind. 🧠 Imagine a situation in which you send a text message to your partner and they take a very long time to text back, or when they do respond, their response is not what you were wanting it to be. In reality, there are an infinite number of possible truths as to why they took so long or why they responded the way they did. But your ego mind has already created its own perception and assigned its own meaning to the situation, no matter how far from the objective truth it is. 😱 Read the entire article: https://lnkd.in/eRe9jN6Z 👉 Be sure to sign up for email updates on new articles and course launches!

"𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘴..."? Good joke! 😆 A sentence you might have heard in some situations, right? And maybe, in those situations, this sentence is actually true. But when you apply it to task prioritization - it's actually 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 the opposite! 𝗪𝗵𝘆? Let me tell you. This is how I used to start my mornings: 1. Walk. 2. Quick shower. 3. Coffee. 4. Dive straight into emails. A habit that made me feel busy, but hardly productive. One Monday, I decided to switch it up: 🍏 The first hour of the workday, I did not open Outlook. 🍎 Instead, I spent that first hour outlining the week's top objectives. This small tweak instantly reshaped my focus and reduced my weekly stress levels by half. What else happened? 🧠 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: Strategic planning, not reacting. 🎯 𝗠𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀: Suddenly, there were very few, clearly defined and aligned with weekly targets. 🏆 𝗠𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀: I achieved more by Wednesday that week, than previously in an entire week! ⤵️ You can use this FREE tip and let me know in the comments what results did you get. Or you can go one step further: 🆓 Our upcoming FREE Out Of The Timebox webinar dives deep into strategies how to decide on which task should be your next highest priority. It will be on 📆  𝟮𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟲:𝟯𝟬 𝗖𝗘𝗧, and it will be 𝟭𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴. Yes, me and Milena Dziebaj will introduce ourselves and tell you what we have to offer - but for at least 40 min you will also: ⇢ Learn the vital role of prioritization. ⇢ Explore 3 prioritization methods for teams and individuals (+ examples!) ⇢ Receive a handout to help you implement these methods. If that sounds like a fair deal ⇢ registration link in the first post and I will be delighted to see you there! #DecisionMaking #FreeWebinar #Priorities

Some thoughts about creativity and AI… ChatGPT, OpenAI, and many other AI players are influencing the world. 🌍✨ They all drive change but do not bring clear answers to the many open questions. Let’s look into creativity. Is it true that AI can replace all the creative minds? I am sure that creativity is an essence of our human culture and it will be like this for a long time, even with AI which can be more and more precise and powerful. 🎨🤖 Creativity is the ability to do the unknown, the unscripted, in such a way that others think, this is amazing. Creativity should inspire, and this is where people’s bright, open, creative minds can shine, with, or without AI. 💡🌟 At this time, AI isn’t replacing creative jobs. The technology may influence how people deal with creative tasks. They observe that it seems to be helpful in saving time, but in only very specific tasks. ⏳🔧 Creative people expect to create high-quality results, magical images, inspiring messages, and mind-blowing videos. That’s what creativity is! AI can assist on the way towards more creativity, as a sparring partner, for example. 🌠🎥🖌️ #Creativity #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #HumanCulture #Inspiration #AI #FutureOfWork #CreativeMinds #TechAndCreativity

I'm an addict. I cannot resist buying books. Especially self-help books. And this one is my latest victim. (It was looking at me seductively 👀 at Frankfurt airport, what was I suppose to do?!) 👉 How to deal with a dilemma? 👉 Am I pursuing the right goals? 👉 When should you rethink a decision? & most importantly : 👉 why the printer always breaks down before a deadline? Each of these essentials questions are answered with ONE diagram! 🙌 “When we encounter chaos, we seek ways to structure it, to see through it, or at least to gain an overview of it. Models help us to reduce the complexity of a situation by enabling us to dismiss most of it and concentrate on what is important.” I cannot wait to absorb this knowledge and test it out with my clients. Deciding #whatsnext and implementing positive lasting #changes require a good dose of #decision making. And you, are you also a book addict? What's your latest buy?

Alpha Bank website said: "innovative service for our costumers" "organizational effectiveness with focus in our clients" - 90 days trying to open a regular account without success. - 3 times the phone application failed to collect my documents. - 1 videocall with an executive who start the conversation like this: ¿Do u know that do you need to live in Greece to open a bank account? Before to say: "Welcome". - After that he check all my documents in the videocall with an awful actitude, he gave me an appointment to his office in Panepistimiu, Athens. I went today with my greek accountant, All the documents were ok. After this, he asked me to have an official:¿¡¡greek translator with me??????? I was there with my greek accountant, who speak english and greek. Official translator? This is Alpha Bank innovative services? The only bank in greece who ask an official translator to an EU citizen, with greek residency and a greek company. Looks like you are an example of agile and innovative system just for greek citizen.

Confused by similar sounding words? "hören" and "gehören" - same thing, aren't they? Maybe the latter is the past participle of "hören"? I hear this quite regularly in my lessons. Let me clear this up for you: "Gehören" means "to belong to" - expressing ownership. Meanwhile, "hören" means "to hear/listen", but in your head you can link the two by thinking of a dog - if you are the one he listens to, then you are probably the one he belongs to! "Der Hund hört auf mich." - The dog listens to me. "Der Hund gehört mir." - The dog belongs to me. Which other German words do you think sound too similar to one another? And do you have sentences to help you remember them, or any other clever way to keep them apart? Share them in the comments - you'll be helping another learner!💬 #german #germanlearning #germanvocabulary #germanteacher

What is something so deeply rooted in yourself, that you never actively realize it? 🌱 When I started working at Pommes al dente, one of the first to dos was:  ◽ Do the Clifton Strength test. No problem, I have already done different personality tests. To be honest, I was not expecting big surprises. How wrong I was. And how scary that was. One of my 3 biggest strengths is Individualization. 🔍 What that means is simply said: When there is a group of people in front of me, I do not see a group, I see individuals. I aim to find out who they are, what they love and hate, and what their challenges are - individually. If there is teamwork to do, I try to make everyone feel included. For me, these things have always been normal. I thought everyone sees the people individually, not the group as one unity. Turns out: no, at least not to that amount. 😯 That was such a big realization: that a thing that came so naturally to me is considered a strength. And that it is once again a reminder that we are all different.  That we think and act differently. And those things that are clear to us, are not always clear to others. So my advice: ⭐️ Go find out which strength you take for granted. 🌈 And try to remember that the person you do not understand might simply have different strengths than you. What is your hidden strength?

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘀 ... I worked and travelled in many places across the globe - from London, Brussels, Prague and Warsaw, to Barcelona, Paris, New York, Boston to Daegu and New Delhi. Everywhere I went, people told me at one point: “You are not typical Swiss.” At first, I laughed about it. Then I thought: “Ok, so what?”. Finally it felt weird and started to bother me. After all, I was born and raised in Switzerland. Why wasn’t I seen as Swiss? This repeated questioning felt like an attack on my cultural identity. I started to think about it and realized the significance of being aware of our cultural roots. Normally, we take our cultural identity for granted and act instinctively. However, it plays a crucial role in how we navigate differences. Fact is, we bring our cultural identity into every collaboration. It shapes how we think, act, lead and communicate. If we overlook this important aspect, we miss out on opportunities for better communication, teamwork and results. Being labeled as “not typical Swiss” prompted me to explore my cultural identity and understand its impact on my cross-cultural interactions. Embracing it has made working in multicultural environments far more effective and impactful. Plus, I’ve gained safety in doing so. If you’re a leader looking to unlock the hidden power of your own conditioning in cross-cultural interactions, join me for a 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀: 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝟮𝟴 𝗠𝗮𝘆, 𝟭𝟮:𝟯𝟬 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝟭𝟯:𝟯𝟬 𝗖𝗘𝗧 𝗼𝗻 𝘇𝗼𝗼𝗺.

Know where you want to go and make sure the right people know about it. A very important part of communication is networking. ☝️ We all know about networking: it’s what you do when you need a new job, isn’t it? Unfortunately, if you only network when you need a new job, neither your networking nor your job-hunting will be very successful. Networking is the process of building and maintaining a network of contacts, and successful networking needs to be ongoing. It needs to happen all the time; 1. In your casual contacts with people by email. 2. On the phone and face-to-face as you go about your everyday life and work. There are two approaches to networking, which we might call organic and deliberate. 1. Organic networking: Your organic network is the network that you build up through your normal activities and contacts. It will contain work colleagues, people you have met socially, and points in between. There will be many people in this network who will be useful to you, and who you can help. 2. Deliberate: However, there is another, and more deliberate approach to networking. You can consciously apply yourself to building and maintaining a network of people based around your career, work and ambitions. Communication in networking is all about putting your ideas across. So, take time to make contact with people, even—or perhaps especially—when you’re most busy. Maintaining relationships can’t wait for a better time, because now is the best time to do it. It was a great enriching experience meeting fellow coaches at the Summit.

🎤 What a night! WeCoCo.io, lead by its passionate founder and TEDx speaker PATRYCJA PIELASZEK, hosted a great panel discussion on "Finding Your Voice" with Christopher Lübbers - Speaker Coach and Melanie Kovacs. Our voice is our own precious and utterly unique asset. We owe it to ourselves to overcome the fear and use it in a way that brings value to others. We learned that speaking up is a blend of content, delivery, and the courage to express your thoughts. It begins with self-awareness—understanding your values, honing your communication skills, and having the confidence to share your perspective. Embrace your experiences, as they shape your authentic narrative In a world that often tries to fit us into molds, daring to be authentic sets us apart. Your voice is your power—use it to inspire, influence, and innovate. Be bold, be your #bestself #Leadership #Authenticity #PersonalGrowth #SpeakUp #BestSelf #OurVoice

Nonviolent Communication Marshall Rosenberg, the person and pioneer behind nonviolent communication (NVC), developed this profound method after observing and understanding how people connect across various cultures and situations. His deep-seated belief was that genuine communication holds the power to heal conflicts and foster peace. With an open heart, Rosenberg shared NVC in over 60 countries, impacting countless lives worldwide. His teachings continue to resonate deeply with those yearning for more harmonious relationships. Understanding Nonviolent Communication Nonviolent communication is more than just a conversation style; it's a heartfelt approach designed to create safe spaces where everyone involved can express themselves openly and with empathy. Emerging in the 1960s, NVC gained traction based on the beautiful premise that every human carries within them the seed of compassion. According to its principles, individuals only turn to violence or harmful behaviours when they struggle to find better ways to meet their needs. NVC aims to nurture more loving and peaceful interactions by gently guiding people towards peaceful resolutions through empathetic language and understanding. *Observations** Simply stating what we notice without adding our judgments or interpretations helps create an environment where the other person feels safe to express themselves. For example, instead of saying, "You're always late," try saying, "I noticed that you arrived 30 minutes after the scheduled time." This way, you're sharing an observation rather than making them feel criticized. **Feelings** Sharing how certain situations affect us can foster genuine connections and deeper understanding. If someone's lateness negatively affects you, instead of saying, "You're always late, and it's so frustrating," share your feelings openly: "I feel anxious and stressed when someone is late because I'm worried about not being able to complete everything on time." **Needs** Clearly stating what you need in a situation can make it easier for more effective communication and collaboration. For instance, if punctuality is essential to you for smooth functioning, Instead of expressing anger by saying something like "You're disrespecting my time," explain your needs calmly: "I need clear expectations and reliable timelines to feel comfortable and work effectively." **Requests** Inviting others to meet your needs through specific requests encourages cooperation. Rather than pointing fingers with statements such as "You're always late," frame it as a request like this: "Can you let me know in advance if you're running late next time so I can plan accordingly?" This approach focuses on finding solutions together. --- For a more in-depth conversation Alexandria S.puts it into perspective Listen now ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/ewSabWms

Meditation Is Not For Me. ... Is what both me and some of my clients say when introduced to Meditation. Since today is #WorldMeditationDay, I want to highlight this misunderstanding. 💭 I can't sit still for that long -> 💚 You can start with just a few minutes. 💭 Meditation is a waste of time -> 💚 Meditation is an investment in your productivity. 💭 It's only for spiritual or religious people -> 💚 Meditation is for everyone. So when my clients ask me something, most of the time I answer: ❓ What's your gut feeling? ❓ What does your inner voice say? That's not what they want to hear. But it's what they need. That's what they come to me for. To Buy Themselves. 🌟 Buy Yourself coaching is not about giving you all the answers. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞. 🛠 And here's where meditation is such a powerful tool to do so. Meditation is about connecting with your inner self to find clarity and purpose. When in doubt, don't look for the answer outside, go inside, that's where it is. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐲: 1. 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 ( 𝐧𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 ): Sit comfortably and close your eyes. 2. 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡: Take deep breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth. 3. 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟: What do I truly want? ( or whatever you want an answer for ) and sit with this question for a few moments. 4. 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭: Open your eyes and reflect on any insights. If you journal, do so. 💡 Your inner voice is a guide that knows what's best for you. It's quiet but smart. ❓ What is your relation to meditation? Tag someone that needs to hear this today. #WorldMeditationDay

Let’s dive into the science of creativity! I recently interviewed Min Jung, a leading neuroscientist, who wrote a fascinating book about brain science and creativity. To get better at helping our teammates, clients, and ourselves come up with innovative 4th Options, it helps to know something about the mechanics of the mind. I’ll be working hard on distilling many fascinating insights from both our interview and the book itself and present them to the 4th Option Network in our next monthly live session.

𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝟏𝟑 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐝𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 😅 💃 That seems in line with the 13 and a bit year my photography business exists .... at least on paper 😅 I only started posting on LinkedIn in 2019 - when my business really started after I quit my corporate career for good. Only in 2020 - during the funny times - I started "using" Linkedin properly and I never looked back. It is my fave platform and I love being here. 🌟 I built my brand, my business and my reputation mainly on LinkedIn 🌟 I grew my audience from non existing to over 8k in that time (yes - I could have more ... but hey ...) 🌟 I met incredible people here! 🌟 Some became real life friends, some became clients (and then friends...) For me it is all about the people and building connections and building relationships. I love that this is possible here. I also remember my first ever post on LinkedIn. It was torture. I was mortified to press the publish button .... And then I was surprised that the world did not collapse around me after I did it ...... All the stories we tell ourselves, all the fears we have inside of us - they are great in holding us back - but when we do this leap of faith - doors are opening. I have been on an incredible journey of expansion over the last 5 years and I am so grateful for it. And - the whole path could be retraced in my posts here on LinkedIn over that time 🤣 Do you remember your first ever LinkedIn Post? Were you as scared as I was? ———————— 𝘏𝘪 - 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘒𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯 🌟 𝘒𝘪𝘤𝘬-𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘳 🌟 𝘈𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 🌟 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩 🌟 3/5 𝘚𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳.

How can you turn bad news into a prosperous opportunity? 📱I had a call with one of my clients recently, and as we started to discuss one of our big projects, she said, “I have two pieces of news: one is extremely bad, and the other is extremely good. Which one should I start with?” You might know that feeling when your body becomes tense, bracing for the unexpected. On top of that, I had this internal dialogue: “OMG! What’s happening now?” (FYI: this project has already challenged me on so many levels). 💡As she was sharing the “bad news,” there was a one-second switch in my mind, shifting my perspective from seeing things as challenges to viewing them as opportunities. Besides, when she finished sharing the good news, I had a whole plan in my mind for how, by focusing on the bright side, we could actually make the project even bigger. ✅If you are challenged, breathe through it, relax, and allow your creativity to flow. You might end up finding a much better way to execute your initial strategy. The key here is to take control of your emotions and not let initial panic overpower your common sense. Create a “toolbox” for these emergency situations to help reduce stress and pressure during important decision-making processes. Include techniques such as a “1-minute breath technique,” mindfulness practices to shift focus to your body and release tension, and mindset shifts where you ask yourself, "How can I make this work even better?" or "What opportunities do I have right here, right now?" In the end, news is just news—how you perceive it is up to you. How do you deal with “bad news”? #selfmastery #emotionalmastery #OpportunityInDisguise #MindsetShift #CreativeProblemSolving #Leadership #GrowthMindset #BusinessStrategy #TurnChallengesIntoOpportunities #Innovation #PositiveThinking #EntrepreneurMindset #ThrivingInAdversity #TransformativeLeadership

🏍️ 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀? We spend an enormous amount of time drafting and reviewing things, reformatting text, and reading long documents. 👊Instead of making a minimal plan and simply GO for it. During my workation in Cyprus I decided to try motocross for the first time. I just went for it, feeling the thrill of the unknown hoping I won´t kill myself.🙈 Sure, I stumbled a bit in the beginning😅, but I learned so much more than if I had spent weeks overthinking every detail. This experience made me realize how much time we waste trying to perfect our plans🤔 instead of taking action. I see it every day both in business and private life. And here is what works for me and what I am trying to emphasize in the organization I work for. Don’t get so committed like your life depended on it, like someone holds a gun to the head of a loved one. Just try it out and revert back if it didn't work. I’m not saying act hastily, but keep the planning and considerations to a bare minimum😉. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗥𝗬! Sharing new experiences with your teammates builds trust. You as a TEAM decide on something, go for it🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ relying on each other, and gain valuable insights from the new experience that you can build on 🙌. I can promisse nothing creates more motivation and engagement as 𝗗𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗢𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 for the first time. What’s the ONE new thing you’ve tried out with your team? Share your experiences in the comments! 🚀 #Curiosity #Innovation #TeamLeadership #ActionOverPlanning
