  • Nermin - On Quality of Life and Inner Peace
    Mar 25 2024

    🌍Journey: Egypt ->Germany -> Egypt ->Switzerland

    Today my guest is Nermin - an egyptian engineer, a product quality coach for swiss banks and mom to 2 french girls. In our conversation, we delve into broad range topics, from exploring how climate shapes different life and work rhythms, to the intriguing crossover of applying methods from work into private life. I have already known Nermin being a determined person while encountering her at work, and this half an hour also opened how mindful and well equipt for life she is.

    👉 Tips from Nermin that can help you along the way:

    • Respecting time in Europe, where work and meetings are typically not scheduled super late.
    • Discover the joys of life beyond late-night events, such as immersing oneself in nature or embarking on train adventures to neighbouring countries.
    • Come to terms with the transient nature of relationships, understanding that while some may depart, the journey continues with new experiences and connections.
    • Apply agility practises at life, as you might apply them at work

    👉 Tips from Aurelija that can help you along the way:

    • Be adaptable and embrace the local culture and customs. Instead of focusing on complaints, strive to make the best out of your situation. Seek opportunities for personal growth and development that can enrich your future journeys.
    • Explore activities that truly resonate with your interests and passions.
    • When relocating to Arab countries, approach your experience with humility. Understand that in certain regions, you may not always be at the top or the best in every situation. Embrace the opportunity to learn from the local community and adapt to their unique practices.
    • Building connections and networking is essential for success in a new environment. Simply sending out resumes and hoping for the best is not enough. Take the initiative to be proactive, engage with individuals, and actively seek opportunities to connect with potential employers.
