  • The Secret Power of Journaling
    Apr 22 2024

    When I was 15 years old or so, my oldest sister gave me this book, and it was actually photocopies of a book bound together. She must’ve photocopied it at uni and then put it together herself….

    She had read it already, and I could tell because I could see her notes and squiggles… And I remember feeling like this book was a special thing… like I should treasure it and keep it safe. And I kept it for years together with a lined notebook with all my notes from the book… In fact, I probably still have it somewhere…

    Now, this book was published in the '90s, but it talked about an ancient practice aimed at unlocking all my creative potential… so obviously, I paid attention!

    The book gave a 12-week program, aimed at all types of creatives and it hinges on daily journaling.

    At 15, in that moment of my life, this book came as a sort of therapist. In my family we were going through some major upheaval, my parents were divorcing, and it was not very amicable, so I was surrounded by chaos, so I held on to this book for dear life all through that time.

  • Mimicking The Masters
    Apr 15 2024

    Welcome to Episode 9 of our Monday Monologues. In this episode, I’ll discuss a very powerful and underrated accelerator to getting to where you want to go, wherever that might be, professionally or personally.

    And to illustrate this powerful method, I’ll tell you the story of Tony Robbins… I am sure most of you have heard of Tony Robbins… Today, he is probably the most famous personal development coach, motivational speaker and author.

    In his early years, Tony Robbins was fascinated by the concept of modelling, a principle he learned from the work of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) co-founders, Richard Bandler and John Grinder.

    One of NLP’s principles focuses on the potential to achieve rapid personal change by modelling the behaviours, thought processes, and strategies of highly successful individuals. Tony Robbins started applying these methods in his own practice as a coach… He studied videos and recordings of top performers and influential speakers, dissecting their patterns, tonality, body language, and communication structure.

    He understood that to accelerate his path to success, he needed to absorb and replicate the essence of what made these individuals exceptional.

  • Trusting the Process
    Apr 8 2024

    In our last episode, we discussed how to identify your North Star, highlighting the importance of aligning it with your core values and long-term vision.

    This episode is, in many ways, the perfect continuation of creating a North Star because it is all about trusting the process.

    Since I was very young, I have been obsessed with Greek mythology. Eventually, I read Joseph Campbell’s book The Hero with a Thousand Faces, in which he outlines the Hero’s journey. The book provides a powerful narrative framework that resonates across time and cultures, and it illustrates the archetypal journey of personal transformation.

    Entrepreneurs, much like heroes in myths, start with a call to adventure—a vision or a dream that pushes them out of their comfort zone and into the unknown.

    This call often aligns with their North Star, a guiding vision that directs their path and decisions.
