This episode: I was still carrying this grudge towards this coach. This is stupid. He's not affecting my life. He doesn't even care.

This episode: Before my career change, I was in HR for 22 years, and I was very competent, I knew what I was doing every single day. I didn't have to worry about ‘do I know what I'm doing in my mind? Am I an imposter in this role?’ I'd never had that thought ever! I was very competent, certified and everything in that role and I was really confident and the...

This episode: One thing that I think I always find worth mentioning that I actually grew up in East Germany, behind the wall. It has shaped the way I see the world because when you grow up in a tiny country with no way out, you know there is something beyond those little borders. All I could see was the opportunity. The reason I find that's so relevant to h...

For sev...

This episode:  I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s, stereotypical rural upbringing, distant emotionally repressed father, a good man, but he didn’t have any emotional intelligence at all.
