AI was meant to take the load off. For many of us in tech it became another job. Why AI fatigue is an energy problem, not a time problem.

It's Monday afternoon. The work is doable. So why will you do everything else first, and finish late on Friday again?

When was the last time when you said yes... and immediately wish you hadn't?

“How are you?” - they ask. “I’m fine.” - you respond. You never say what you really feel. You never say “I feel empty.” Maybe you have been ignoring this feeling too long. Maybe it’s so much your reality by now that you don’t even realize this could be anything else. Slowly, “I feel empty” becomes your “I’m fine”. Slowly, you become invisible, even for yourself. This common response is a core behavior we often use to mask our true feelings. And it happens quietly: first, prob

... even when the world screams "Faster!" Walk in the forest. If you’re reading this, chances are you’re someone who’s used to moving fast. Maybe you’re leading a team, building something new, or just trying to keep up in a world that never stops changing. In tech we’re told that speed is everything - and often in life, too. Everything feel urgent. Everything needs our attention now. But what if the secret to real progress is… slowing down? The Paradox of Progress I’ve spent

There are thousand books and training programs available about time management - still, most of us struggle with it. ⌛ "I am not disciplined enough", "I tend to drift my time blocks", "Hours and days just disappear" - I hear these a lot from coaching clients as well as from friends. And honestly, I experience the same sometimes... 😳 Juggling many roles: being a mother, business owner, consultant, coach is not easy. Add a crazy travel and family schedule. And yes, I want (and

Going to nature for a walk or hike recharges my soul. Going to the gym and taking yoga classes challenge my body and relax my mind. They all fill me with new energy. The time I spend amongst the trees, in the gym or the yoga studio feels like a retreat, transporting me into another reality which makes my everyday self work better. But I missed the yoga class today… again… without any specific, real reason. This made me think: Why do I continue to self-sabotage? Why do so many

“The problem is that I cannot feel motivated…” “Generally speaking, what would make you feel motivated?” “When my manager tells me what to do (husband/wife/parent/child/friend/etc.), then I know I really have to do that…” “Is that what really motivates you?” “Well, it’s a pressure that makes me do what I am supposed to do….” The discussion above is an except from a coaching conversation. I think everyone on this planet knows the pressure when we are expected to do things – th

The holiday season is upon us, and we often find ourselves sending out countless “Happy Holidays” messages to friends, family, and colleagues. But let’s pause for a moment and observe our own holiday experience: while we wish for peaceful, joyous, and relaxing days for others, do we also enjoy such peaceful, joyous, and relaxing days ourselves? For many of us, holidays are about obligations: we HAVE TO visit our relatives, we HAVE TO buy and wrap presents, we HAVE TO cook spe

At a recent session at the ESPC conference, I took the stage to discuss something incredibly fundamental: wellbeing. Taking inspiration from my professional journey as a consultant and coach at Search Explained, coupled with my personal experiences, I navigated through the importance of nurturing our well-being. In my consulting work, my approach has always incorporated the human perspective. Beyond the professional layer always lies an essential human connection – the enrich

In our busy lives, we often overlook the small things that bring us joy – a good book, a leisurely coffee, a peaceful stroll. But when was the last time you realized that you need time for yourself? Recently, I found moments of solitude and adventure, realizing that life shouldn’t be divided. It’s about balance. It’s about integrity. Take time to relax, recharge, and savor life’s simple pleasures. So, ask yourself: When was the last time you realized that YOU need YOU?

KMWorld (Knowledge Management World) and ESDDC (Enterprise Search and Discovery) are two conferences co-hosted the same week, same location in Washington DC every year. Without any doubt, this is the most important professional event of every year: all the thought leaders are there, and it is always a great opportunity to see fellow colleagues, partners, clients, have outstanding and deep discussions, make new connections… This year is not an exception… KMWorld and ESDDC are

It was March 4, 2020, when my almost empty flight from Copenhagen, Denmark landed in Budapest, Hungary. The pandemic already had been around us, and already had impacted my travel plans for the rest of March and April — but I had no idea the magnitude of its impact on our lives in the following months. I think, nobody had. March 4, 2020 was 300 days ago. Before that, I had had a life with frequent travel opportunities: mostly for work, but also to relax. In 2019, I traveled

I made a mistake recently. Yes, I did: over-committed. I did more workshops in the first three months than I did the previous six months in total. Traveled for 31 days in the first 80 days of the year. I had projects from last year being postponed and delayed until everything had to be done at the same time. And like a domino, my schedule collapsed. I did not have time to write. Not here, not in my professional blog either. The only thing I kept more or less alive was my In

When I was a child, I wanted to be like everyone else. But I could not, even though I tried hard. I tried to prove I am like everyone else. Then slowly, things changed. After a while, what I wanted to prove was that I can do things that nobody else. I wanted to prove I can win math competitions. — I did. I wanted to prove I can code. — I did. Then I wanted to prove I can get applied to the university. — I could. There I had to prove that as a minority (girl) I can be “good en

When I was a child, I was considered to be a super smart daughter of a very poor family — and as a result, I was always lonely. My classmates couldn’t figure out what to do with my always working crazy mind, and I couldn’t figure out what to do with their “childish” behavior. (Who wants to play with Barbie dolls when the world is full of interesting things to learn???) Nobody told me it was normal. Nobody told me I was normal. And slowly I learned to think it must be somethin

Wednesday morning. Wake up at 3:30am to catch my flight at 6am. Work in Antwerp and Brussels Wed and Thu. Thursday evening, two conferences and several meetings later: let’s go home! Massive flight delay on the way back, due to thunderstorms above Europe. Landing at BUD at 1am then driving home. Almost 3am when I finally get to sleep. Actually this is Fri morning already… Less than three hours later, at 5:40am Fri morning: “Mum, mum! Good morning! Mum is back home! Mum is bac
