Insights

What does it really take to perform under pressure when the whole world is watching?

I’m a huge F1 fan, and I’ve been closely following the work that Hintsa does to support drivers at the highest level of performance. A few weeks ago, I had the chance to hear Owen Satterley speak about the physical and mental preparation F1 drivers go through.

Owen mentioned something I’ve often thought about. If you make a mistake in your company, not many people notice. But if you make a mistake as a professional athlete, you're on the cover of every digital magazine, newspaper, TikTok, Reel... and more.

The preparation a professional athlete needs goes far beyond physical training.
They must endure the pressure of being known, to smile even when they’re exhausted, to remain calm and composed when things go wrong, to hold back emotion or frustration, and to go into an interview minutes after a race (that may not have gone their way). All while managing team dynamics, expectations, and a global spotlight. (I got exhausted just by writing it).

That kind of pressure demands more than talent. It takes emotional regulation, self-awareness, and the ability to reset fast.

I often think that in both sports and business, it’s not always the most technically prepared who wins; but those who can withstand the pressure.

Thank you both for the inspiration and insights.

Over the past nine months, I’ve had the privilege of coaching a group of brilliant young talents through the Dubai Business Associates program, under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

As their coach, I accompanied them through many key moments: settling into a new culture, clarifying their purpose and values, shaping their LinkedIn presence, navigating challenges within their placements, and building stronger relationships and team dynamics at work.

What often goes unsaid is how refreshing and inspiring this experience was for me. I usually work with leaders who have plenty of years of experience. Yet these young men and women offered me a fresh lens on the world. Their thoughtfulness, their drive, and the sacrifices they’ve made for their future moved me deeply. Through them, I reconnected with the raw ambition and clarity of a generation that is shaping what comes next.

Thank you, DBA Associates, for letting me be part of your journey.
You inspired me more than you know.

Most leadership challenges aren’t caused by a lack of skill.They may be caused by a lack of self-awareness.

This quote of Aristotle hits differently when you’ve been in the room with a team that’s struggling. They struggle, not because they don’t care; not because they aren’t talented; not because they don't believe in their service or product.
But because blind spots are running the show.

Leadership starts within.

It’s in the pause before you speak.
The awareness of your own patterns.
The courage to examine how you might be contributing to the very thing you’re trying to fix.

And that journey, of truly getting to know yourself, just doesn’t end.
It deepens.

What’s one pattern you’ve become aware of lately that’s shifted how you lead?

Let’s be honest; we didn't sign for this.
Most of us were not trained for this.

We were taught to set goals, make plans, build roadmaps.
Not to lead through fog.
Not to hold space for not knowing.
Not to navigate change without clarity.

But here we are. Uncertainty isn’t a season: "Just hold it, this also shall pass!" ...
Uncertainty is the new landscape.

And what I’ve learned (through coaching leaders and navigating it myself) is this:

Uncertainty doesn’t ask for control.
It asks for presence, for listening, for adapting without losing your center.

Here’s what I see working:

🌟 Leaders who ask bold, open questions and enbale trust
🌟 Teams that prioritize getting things done over perfection.
🌟 Cultures where it’s safe to say “I don’t know—yet.”
🌟 Actions that are driven by values, not just certainty.

If you’re in the middle of the fog, keep going.
It doesn’t mean you’re lost.
It means you’re in the work.

🌟 What helps you stay grounded when things feel uncertain?

#LeadershipDevelopment #NavigatingUncertainty #ConsciousLeadership #ScalingLeadership #SelfAwareness

Yes, I solved the Rubik’s Cube.
And let me tell you; it’s really not that impressive.

I just followed a YouTube tutorial: Up, right, left, down... down, down, down, up. And it was done.

And that’s how so much in life works. If we just want to get the job done, we can follow someone else's formula. Copy the steps. Do what’s been done. Tick the box.

But if we want to master something, that’s a different story.

Mastery requires more: Curiosity. Repetition. Failure. Insight....
It means going beyond the “how” and starting to understand the “why.”

Leadership is the same.
You can read the books. Mimic the tools. Recite the models. And it’ll probably work; at least for a while. But mastering leadership? That’s a deeper practice.
It asks you to look inward; to become more self-aware; to challenge your patterns; to challenge your assumptions, beliefs and identity.
To master leadership, you need to lead from presence, purpose, and courage; not just from skill.

There’s no shortcut for that.

💬 What’s something you once copied... and later decided to truly master?

Leadership is about growth, impact, and meaningful transformation.

As a leadership coach, I support leaders in elevating both their Outer Game (skills, strategy, execution) and their Inner Game (mindset, self-awareness, presence). The combination that drives effective leadership. The kind of Leadership that transforms organizations and their performance.

Here’s how we make it happen:
⭐ Leadership Effectiveness Assessment to map your Leadership growth.
⭐ A safe, trust-based partnership designed for deep, lasting growth.
⭐ Real-world, personalized coaching on the challenges that matter most to you.

If you're a business leader, founder, or team lead who’s ready to lead with more clarity, courage, and impact, let’s talk.

Let’s build the leadership that transforms teams, cultures, and results.

Recently, our founder, Mireia Mujika, had the honor of representing Bare & Brave at the Women in Business Networking Dinner in Dubai — a gathering that brought together visionary women leaders from across finance, tech, healthcare, and entrepreneurship. It was a powerful reminder that when bold conversations meet shared purpose, real impact follows.
✨We're proud to be part of a community that’s shaping the future of leadership in the region — one that values collaboration, authenticity, and growth.
Here’s to more spaces where women rise, together. 💫

When my clients think about improving their leadership, very few of them consider food, sleep, or exercise.

(And no—I’m not going to dive into the ever-expanding morning routine discourse that seems to be getting a little out of hand...)

But here’s the thing: these three factors—often overlooked—can have a direct impact on your leadership effectiveness.

🛌 Sleep: If you’re not sleeping well, you’re not thinking clearly. You can’t regulate your emotions, articulate ideas effectively, or make good decisions.Sleep expert, Dr. Matthew Walker, says that operating on poor sleep is the cognitive equivalent of being legally intoxicated. Imagine leading a team in that state.

🥗 Food: What you eat affects how you sleep, how you feel, and how you lead. Clean, nourishing food stabilizes your energy, supports emotional resilience, and helps you stay present; especially in high-stress moments.

🏃‍♀️ Exercise: Regular movement isn’t just good for your body; it sharpens your mind, lowers stress, and helps you reset after difficult conversations or long days or before them.

So, if you don't know where to start when it comes to Leadership, start with the basics.

Great leaders don’t just act; they pause, reflect, and adjust. Yet, in the rush of deadlines and decisions, reflection is often the first thing to go.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽?
Without reflection, leaders risk:
❌ Reacting instead of responding.
❌ Repeating mistakes instead of learning from them.
❌ Missing growth opportunities for themselves and their teams.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆
Reflection isn’t a luxury, instead, it’s a leadership accelerator. The best leaders don’t just move forward; they take time to look back and refine their approach.

The One Leadership Skill That Changes Everything: 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴

At 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲, we’ve learned that some of the most powerful leadership shifts don’t come from strategy—they come from presence.

Most leaders think they’re good listeners. But real listening—the kind that builds trust, deepens understanding, and fuels innovation—is rare.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀?
When leaders truly listen, they:
🔹 Strengthen relationships by making people feel valued.
🔹 Reduce misunderstandings that lead to inefficiencies and frustration.
🔹 Encourage innovation by creating space for new ideas to emerge.

Teams with leaders who listen feel safer, perform better, and are more engaged. It’s that simple.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴?
1️⃣ Listen to understand, not to respond. Instead of planning your reply while the other person speaks, focus entirely on their words.
2️⃣ Pause before responding. A few seconds of silence show you’re considering what was said, not just waiting for your turn.
3️⃣ Ask clarifying questions. “Can you tell me more about that?” signals genuine curiosity.
4️⃣ Summarize what you heard. “So what you’re saying is…” helps confirm understanding and avoids misinterpretations.

#Leadership #LeadershipEfficiency #CollectiveLeadership #LeasdersipDevelopment #TeamCoaching #1:1Coaching

We talk a lot about outcomes. KPIs. Deliverables.
But what truly stays is presence.
Did we make people feel seen? heard?
Safe? Inspired? Challenged with care?
That’s the invisible work that defines legacy.

Who’s someone who made you feel something unforgettable in your career?
Tag them or share the story—those moments matter.

Recently, I read 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗺 𝗚𝗹𝗮𝗱𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 ’s latest book, 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁. Among the many fascinating insights he shares, there’s one concept that particularly resonated with me: "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱."

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲-𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽.

Gladwell illustrates this clearly: Imagine a board of 9 people. If only one member is a woman, she becomes the token—the representative for all women. Add a second woman, and they remain "the women," still feeling pressure to represent their entire gender. But when you reach three women (one-third), suddenly they stop representing their gender and start being themselves—performing authentically, confidently, and effectively.

This isn't just about gender—it applies equally to race, religion, nationality, or any dimension of diversity.

This left me reflecting, and now I want to ask you directly:

👉 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆'𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱?
𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 "𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱"?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

The Silent Killer of Team Performance: Unspoken Expectations

One of the biggest sources of frustration in teams isn’t lack of talent or effort—it’s misaligned expectations.

A leader assumes their team understands priorities, while the team assumes they have flexibility. A team member expects support, while their manager assumes they can handle things independently. These gaps lead to confusion, inefficiency, and even resentment.

Clear Expectations = Stronger Teams
Great leaders don’t leave expectations to chance.
They:
✅ Make priorities explicit – “This project is the top focus this quarter.”
✅ Define what success looks like – “A great outcome here would be…”
✅ Clarify roles and responsibilities – “You own this, and I’ll support you with…”
✅ Encourage alignment check-ins – “Let’s review—are we still on the same page?”

How to Get Started
1️⃣ Ask instead of assuming. What does success look like to you? What do you need from me?
2️⃣ Be specific. Avoid vague statements like “Take ownership”—what does that mean in practice?
3️⃣ Create space for clarification. Make it normal for your team to ask, “Can you clarify what’s expected?”

The Leadership Takeaway
Teams thrive when expectations are clear. The more explicit you are, the more confident, engaged, and aligned your team will be.

What’s one expectation you can clarify with your team this week?

The Rings of Power

Last week, I was speaking to an exceptionally brilliant young woman.
She’s sharp, hard-working, professional, and knows her craft inside out.

One of the reasons she’s engaging in coaching is because she wants to make her work more visible—to be seen, heard, and recognized.

And then she said something that made my heart drop:
"I wish I had a wedding ring."

Why?
"Because then, I could walk into certain men’s offices, spend more time with them and build trust without them wondering if I’m romantically interested or not."

I froze. Because I used to think the same.

When I got married, I remember feeling this strange sense of freedom. I could approach more men in professional settings, engage more openly, even offer compliments, knowing there was this silent "signal" that I wasn’t crossing any invisible lines.

It’s subtle, and yet it’s not.
It’s one of those untalked-about dynamics that still exists. The unspoken boundaries that quietly shape how women navigate leadership spaces.

and I wonder… how many brilliant women hesitate, hold back, or second-guess themselves because of this invisible tension?

And how many opportunities are lost for connection, collaboration, and trust because of it?

It’s not always obvious . But it’s there.
And we need to name it, so we can change it.

How do we create workplaces where women can lead, connect, and engage fully without needing external symbols to feel “safe”?

This is the kind of courage we rarely celebrate in business.
But in leadership, it’s everything.
The meeting you walked into with a shaky voice.
The moment you gave honest feedback, heart pounding so hard you were afraid everyone would hear it.
The day you said, “I don’t know, but I’m here.”
That’s real leadership.

What’s one moment recently where you chose to show up—uncertain, but all in?
I’d love to hear it.

𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 is such an important part of leadership. With a mentor, problems feel smaller and actions seem closer to reach. At least, that was my experience with 𝗛𝗮𝗶𝗳𝗮.

When I got the email from 𝗗𝗕𝗪𝗖 to be part of this mentorship program, I didn't hesitate. Of course I wanted a mentor! Someone who understands the pain (and joy!) of being a female solopreneur. Please, bring it on! Haifa could easily empathize with me and would gently push me beyond my comfort zone.

Mentorship is much more than guidance. It's about genuine connection and understanding. Thank you, Haifa, for being that mentor for me. And thank you, Nadine and the team at 𝗗𝗕𝗪𝗖, for this wonderful opportunity.

𝗔𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀.
I was in primary school when the teacher pointed at a world map and said:
“𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗢𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻.”

𝗠𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗱. 🤯 🤯🤯

I thought, adults must have lost their minds. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀? 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴?

I remember sitting with that thought for days; until one afternoon, I gathered the courage to tell my teacher that I could not understand how adults could give a name to water.
The teacher gently explained, “𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿. 𝗪𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘀.”

Ufff. That was a relief.

But I think of that moment often.
Because 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻?
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴, “𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘁”?
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱; 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁?

Clarity matters. Precision matters. Not just for maps, but for leadership, communication, and trust.

And every now and then, I still smile at how confused I was about the Atlantic Ocean.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀? 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀?

𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝘀. 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴—𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗘𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿-𝗢𝗿, 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝗵.
People often ask me: Which is more effective: team coaching or individual coaching?
The truth is, they serve different purposes and work best together for real transformation.

- 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 helps develop self-aware leaders who drive change, but their impact may be limited without a supportive team culture.
- 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 transforms the system as a whole; fostering collaboration, trust, and alignment. However, a strong team environment won’t automatically shape an individual’s leadership style.

When to Choose Each:
𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴: Ideal for leadership development, career transitions, executive presence, and self-awareness.
𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴: Best for improving team dynamics, communication, alignment on shared goals... and practically speaking, any challenge the team is facing.

For sustainable growth, organizations need both; strong leaders and a system that supports their success!

Viktor Frankl believed that the human spirit is capable of incredible resilience and adaptability—and the same is true for organizations. Even in the face of uncertainty, companies that embrace meaning, purpose, and a shift in perspective can transform challenges into opportunities.

In times of disruption, great organizations don’t just react—they redefine their path. By focusing on what is within their control, they can:

- Adapt with agility instead of resisting change
- Foster a culture of resilience and innovation
- Align teams around a shared purpose to drive sustainable success

When businesses stop dwelling on external obstacles and start owning their response, they unlock the potential to reshape their future. (Easier said than done. That's when you call us 😉)

𝗔 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝗮𝗴𝗼, 𝗜 𝗿𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗷 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗷. A half marathon from Burj Khalifa to Burj Al Arab.

The days leading up to it, I got hit with a nasty sinusitis. I even considered not running; it wouldn’t have been the first time I pulled out of a race.

The day before the race, I ended up at the doctor’s office because I truly wasn’t feeling well. The diagnosis? A pretty bad sinusitis. But after starting antibiotics I felt like myself again. So, I told my friends I’d show up at the starting line.

And I did. We went off fast—pacing at 5:20/km for the first 10K—but then, my body and mind said: enough. I couldn’t breathe properly, my legs were heavy, I started feeling cold, and for a few seconds, my vision blurred. I had to stop.

If it was not because my children and husband were waiting at the finish line, I would have abandoned. Yes, when I reached the finish line the screams of MAMAAAAAAAAAAAAA coming from my children's voices were melody in my ears. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱, 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲.

This year? A month and a half later, I have barely logged 15k yet. Physically, I probably could. Mentally, I’m not there. 𝗜'𝗺 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱, 𝗜'𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝘆𝗺. 𝗜 𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱. 𝗜'𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲, 𝗺𝗲 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗠𝘆 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲, 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗜 𝗮𝗺.

𝗡𝗼𝘄, 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱:
How often do we do this in the corporate world?
How often do we push ourselves and or our people beyond the point where it’s healthy or productive?

The consequences? Avoidance, disengagement, lower energy, reduced efficiency…

Resilience isn’t just about pushing harder; it’s about knowing when to pause.

Emotional Intelligence is not enough for a thriving team. We need Relationship Systems Intelligence

We often hear about Emotional Intelligence (EI) as a critical factor in leadership and teamwork. While EI is essential for self-awareness and interpersonal relationships, thriving teams need something more—Relationship Systems Intelligence (RSI).

RSI goes beyond individual awareness to focus on the intelligence of the entire team dynamic. It’s about understanding the collective emotions, communication patterns, and unspoken dynamics within a team.

- Teams with high RSI communicate more effectively.
- They navigate conflict with a systems-wide perspective.
- They foster a culture of collaboration and shared success.

So, how does Team Coaching enhance RSI and transform team communication?

Have you ever walked into a room and felt the energy shift the moment someone started speaking? 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽—it’s not just about what you do, but how you show up.

As leaders, our energy sets the tone for our teams. Whether we’re calm under pressure or radiating enthusiasm about a new project, our teams take their cues from us.

Here’s how energy shapes leadership:

1️⃣ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
Challenges are inevitable, but how we respond to them matters. Leaders who remain composed and centered, in the midst of conflict and high-tension situations, help their teams stay motivated and find solutions, even in tough times.

2️⃣ 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀
A leader’s excitement and passion can inspire the team to go above and beyond. On the flip side, negativity can spread just as quickly—so being mindful of what we bring to the table is key.

3️⃣ 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹
Leadership energy isn’t about being “on” all the time. It’s about being present, aware, and consistent. Taking care of yourself—mentally, physically, and emotionally—isn’t selfish; it’s essential for leading well.

Leadership is more than strategy, decisions, or plans. It’s the emotional ripple effect we create every single day.

So, what kind of energy will you bring into your leadership this week? Share your thoughts below! 👇

This year, for International Women’s Day, I had the honor of delivering a keynote at Core42.

Beyond sharing my message, I had the privilege of listening to the incredible experiences and wisdom of the women in this company; an experience that deeply inspired me.

A heartfelt thank you to @ergul and the team for this opportunity. It was a pleasure to be part of such a meaningful day.

Here’s to many more!

I had the honor of working with an amazing team at "Sana Commerce," a group full of creativity and team spirit! Through interactive exercises, they reached shared visions and key moments together, and this will drive them toward collective success. Their collaborative spirit was incredible, and they supported each other through challenges. I’m confident this team will make a big impact in the future!

#Leadership #Innovation #Collaboration #CollectiveSuccess

A couple of weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of coaching a team at Sana Commerce—a group that was engaging, fun, and incredibly creative! If I had to give an award for team creativity, it would go to this one.

Through dynamic and interactive exercises, they reached key agreements and had some groundbreaking moments. But what I believe will help them most moving forward is the shared vision they built together—literally, with images and sound. Seeing their collective aspirations take form so visually was a powerful moment! (also for me).

I loved this session for many reasons, but what stood out most was their willingness to play together and the way they lifted each other up whenever someone was in doubt. That kind of collaborative spirit is a game-changer.

I have no doubt this team is headed for collective greatness!
Thank you, Tim, Britta, Arjuna, Laurens, Jordi, Louise, Iris, Dominik, and Dan, for playing along and trusting the process. Wishing you all the very best!
