the first female board member as the first female whatever, we are confronted always with the same judgments, with the same difficulties, complexities. And that's so nice that you don't need to put all your energy in explaining all these things. And someone can just relate and you can just put in the work together. That's what you want. You want to put in the work.

with all these different kind of women is so important because there they can really share experiences, gain insights, support each other. It helps combat isolation and it really brings a sense of belonging that mostly something they miss in even very in their inner circle with friends or maybe at home even. So that's why it's great to have that kind of sense of belonging and find it somewhere.

These situations where we have challenges and people want impact and we can just work together, collaborate and inspire common goals and do things together.

Actually, what I deal with is life challenges. Like I have hit rock bottom and I had to uncover challenges. my values, my beliefs. I had to accept the situation I was in, that I couldn't go back. So it's really about life.

So for me, the great thing is that we all face life challenges and that... I just love and I'm good at reframing these challenges to possibilities for people to grow and to lead you to fulfillment and success in life and career without burnout.

And the cultural context, the cross-cultural context is a surplus. The fact that We also, all these different layers, experience all these different layers. That's why I can be a better match for someone or the person I can coach, high-performing woman, can be a better match for me. We just, we can relate.
