When someone asks me if I exercise, I say that I’m shit at CrossFit. I do go to classes twice or three times a week and I have been going for a few years. I’m still a bit chubby. I injure myself every few months and exercise still hasn’t become a habit. I was cleaningContinue reading “I’m bad at CrossFit”

50 drafts
I’ve started to write this blog for myself. To have a space to train myself to write things down and to make some sense of it. It was partly learning how to write and part therapy. At the time I had some idea what I wanted to write about, but it has fairly changed overContinue reading “50 drafts”
Company culture for hardcore capitalists
I find it baffling that even in hardcore capitalistic circles, company culture and what it means for the company and profits is incredibly misunderstood. And I wonder if one of the reasons is that there is no project or programme you can run to “fix culture” and bring 10 FTE savings or salary decreases acrossContinue reading “Company culture for hardcore capitalists”
Find a ladder and keep climbing…
If you would be in a basement that would be on fire and only way out would be scolding hot metal ladder, would you climb it? What if you wouldn’t see any fire, but only a smoke? Or you wouldn’t really notice any fire, but your family from upstairs would shout at you that youContinue reading “Find a ladder and keep climbing…”
You can meet people only as deeply as you met yourself
We are all on our journey through this life. We are just in different places at different times. It doesn’t mean that we will forever drift apart if we are not met as deeply as we would want. People have their own pace. There will be times when you will feel misunderstood and that’s ok.Continue reading “You can meet people only as deeply as you met yourself”
What if I was on your side all along…
Anxiety, obsessive thoughts, fears, nightmares, aches, mild panic attacks, sudden jumps in heart rate… When I was a kid, I had nightmares. A lot of nightmares. That kind of that goes deep into your bone and through your whole body. The one where you wake up petrified, where you can’t move and your body canContinue reading “What if I was on your side all along…”
What would I have to hear to change my opinion?
Next time, when you get stuck in your head, repeating the same problem over and over again. In a moment of awareness or through some reminder like a post-it note on a screen, ask yourself “What would I have to hear to change my opinion?”. And then watch the mess. Your ego will start toContinue reading “What would I have to hear to change my opinion?”
People leadership: removing uncertainty
I do believe people are inherently evolved to feel uncertainty and similarly to entropy which grows over time, our uncertainty, if left unchecked, grows over time. When you have a random toothache and you don’t do anything about it for months, unless you are medicating somehow, you probably won’t feel more confident that it’s goingContinue reading “People leadership: removing uncertainty”
How does it feel in your head?
For a lot of us it’s not a great place. Being on your own, you go trough a lot and it’s boredom in the good case. How does it feel to be on your own? It’s strange to be your own nemesis. It’s strange to set yourself to fail. Time after time. No learning, justContinue reading “How does it feel in your head?”
Getting into Data field if you are not in tech
“Data science pays boatload of $$$. I want exactly that boatload of $$$.” You’ll start searching “Data science tutorial”, “How to do data science?” and Google will throw at you Python, R, unsupervised vs supervised learning etc. If you are not already a developer, technical analyst of some kind, I would say it’s not aContinue reading “Getting into Data field if you are not in tech”
