Background

Purpose

Going through life in a self-aware and balanced manner is something worth striving for. That’s easier said than done, speaking from my own experience. Throughout my executive career I’ve experienced first-hand how difficult it is to break the stress cycle of the rat race.

The many assumptions which we hold about ourselves and others can induce stress and keep us away from courageous conversations, growth and innovation, both at work as well as in our private lives. Pressure makes us less effective in collaboration and causes us to lose focus. Stress makes us eat unhealthily and prone to impulsive buying. Others make their way through traffic jams and rush hour while multitasking. This is not how I prefer to live.

Habits add up to large impact on our health, performance and planet, and it’s our responsibility to care of ourselves and our habitat.

I believe that if we are able to observe ourselves and situations from a different vantage point, we will take balanced decisions which will positively contribute to our and others’ wellbeing and habitat.
