Tonight, I am speaking at the Qatar Professional Women Network (QPWN) event. I look forward to interacting in person with all the ladies I have met in previous events and new ones who arrived in Qatar at a time of not many live events.

Looking forward to more opportunities to meet in person.

Haven't we all had enough virtual coffees?

I want a nice cup of coffee with a lovely smell, taste, and proper temperature served in a real cup in a charming café, AND I want to enjoy its deliciousness with good company.

How about you?
Are you up for the real thing already?

It’s the first day of Fall!
For me, that means fresh, chilly mornings, cozy sweaters, planting hundreds of tulip bulbs to bloom in the spring, raking leaves in the garden, and walking through the forests or vineyards that are turning golden.
It is also cooking wild, mushrooms, and pumpkins.
I love how a simple change in season makes me feel inspired and weirdly satisfied as I can start planning my Halloween party!

I will not experience the fall this year, as we still have relentless heat and humidity. So I will make some delicious hot chocolate today, enjoy it in my air-conditioned office, and long for the rain and leaves falling on my head in the Prater Alley.

What does Fall mean for you?

Can you believe it? I started my business four years ago today, and it’s absolutely flown by! Since then, I've learned from amazing coaches, mentors, trainers, and peers, upgraded my skills in multiple courses, defined my company's purpose, found out with whom I want to work, started developing my brand, crystalized my offer, tested hundreds of software and systems, started multiple collaborations, hired some people, wrote a chapter for a book that can be bought on Amazon, got on the List of the Top 10 leadership development companies in the Middle East, spoke at several events, met inspiring people, and, the most important, had an opportunity and pleasure to work with so many extraordinary leaders from well-known global brands!
I also made thousands of mistakes, some of them tiny, and for some, I paid dearly. I learned from all of them a ton! I had to let go of some team members, fired some consultants, wasted a lot of time doing work not aligned with my North Star, and learned many skills I didn't want to have.
Exponential learning curve.

It’s been quite the journey, and I’m thankful you’re here supporting me along the way.

Now excuse me while I go celebrate this significant accomplishment! 🎈🥂

What’s your favorite way to celebrate big milestones?

REMINDER: Just because you *can* do something doesn't mean you have to.

What does it mean specifically for me?
I don't have to work 60-hour long weeks to feel successful.

For years, I have put so much time into my work - no matter how tired or overworked I was, there was stuff to do, places to visit, people to meet, and (often useless) reports to finish.
Was I able to accomplish more by putting in this time?
Yes!
Did it make me successful?
Definitely! Precisely because it allowed me to outperform others for a long time.
But unfortunately, I never had any time left for other areas of my life.
(You must know that my definition of success was pretty off then, but that also changed).

In the meantime, I know that just because I can put this time into work doesn't mean I should or want to.
I want lots of free time and space in my life for other important things like family and friends,
daydreaming,
reading,
just sitting in my garden and watching birds,
learning new things,
traveling (without work),
imagining the future,
playing the cello,
archery.

So I looked to upgrade my performance to do more in less time to create this free time and space.

And I became a flow-goer.

I have studied the flow state and High Flow Leadership for several years. And I am convinced that this is the only way to sustainable peak performance, enhanced creativity, accelerated learning, crazy motivation, and prosperous life.

When I tell business leaders that they could cut their working time by half and still accomplish more than they do in the 60-hour plus, they are skeptical until they start implementing what I teach them and unlock flow for themselves.

I'm curious, are you ready to say YES to a fulfilled, prosperous life?

Are you up for a challenge?

I’m challenging myself to take more breaks throughout the work day because I’m always greeted with fresh inspiration when I get back.

Today’s break: ten pages from my new Brené Brown Book and a cup of matcha latte to it.

Want to challenge yourself to take more breaks, too? Let me know if you’re joining me in the comments!

How often do you feel frustrated at the end of a long day when it comes to making progress toward your Big Goal because you haven't even touched what you have planned?

Sucks, right? I get it. So I want to let you in on three tips today that can completely change your world, and you will progress faster every day before you know it:

#1: Define 3-4 Clear Goals for the week and break them down to what you want to work on every day; be super detailed when you define your Clear Goals for each day, especially if you tend to procrastinate; clear goals are one of the mighty flow triggers!

#2: Schedule a 90-minute block of focus time in your prime time during each day - yes! put it on your calendar;

for me and the majority of my clients it is morning hours; check in with yourself - when are you most productive and effortlessly get into flow?

#3: Prepare yourself for success:

- inform people around you that you will not be available for 90 minutes to avoid the anxiety that you might not respond to something they need from you immediately;

- dare to remove all distractions for this 90-minute time - set your phone to flight mode and switch off all notifications, close all apps, and tabs that might pull you in other directions; prepare the space around you;

- dive into the scheduled work on time and finish as planned - yes! finish also if you are deep in flow and making fantastic progress, it will help you get back to it the following day.

Evaluate your progress at the end of the week and define new goals for the following one.

Experiment with the focus time block length and timing.

Further optimize your environment for laser focus.

Are you doing any of these things at the moment? How does it work for you?

Or do you have anything you'd add to the list for other business leaders?

I'd love to know.

It's awkward to admit: Though I spend most of my work days at my desk, I tend to get my BEST work done while getting a massage or floating in the pool (have you heard about floating pools or sensory deprivation tanks?).
Being away from all distractions gets my creative juices flowing, and the ideas just come one after another!
I only need to make sure I write them all down right after.

Where do you get your best work done?

Time to disconnect!
Maybe you could even go "dark mode" this weekend?
What will you want to do?
