Nudges, Ideas and a sprinkle of career advice
This is where you’ll read from me. It’s a mix of nudges that encourage you to take the next bold step, ideas that help you make a change and advice so you can avoid the mistakes I made along the way.
From my keyboard to you. No ChatGPT involved, just a bunch of honest writing, usually done in the morning hours before the world wakes up.
I hope you enjoy it and I’d love to hear from you, so feel free to comment on these posts.
