I was 30 when I transitioned to tech from fashion. I was 40 when I transitioned into cloud. I am 47 now and have transitioned into Scrum and Agile. Don't let your age dictate your career path. You're never too old to start what excites you.

If you’re scared to do things that are out of your comfort zone, it’s all the more reason why you should do it. A real opportunity for growth.

Doing my last run through before my ICF coaching exam tomorrow. Confident? Yes. Nervous? Hell yes.

I was just at an AI event where I was one of the only people there that hasn’t touched a terminal in the past 2 years, let alone the past hour. I feel like it may be time to dive back in. 😬

As my one speaking adventure comes to an end, another one is slowly creeping in. This time, in my own country, and a theme after my own heart. 🇨🇦 Join me at Agile Tour Montréal, where this year's theme will be “Human beings at the heart of agility”. I have the pleasure of presenting another round of "The Happiness Blueprint: Positivity Experiments for Powerful Teamwork".

Life is not just about what you learn, but also how you learn and continuously learn.

LinkedIn wasn't always my social media of choice. Now, it is the only one I cannot live without. 2014 - Used it sporadically for business leads 2016 - Started to get job offers through the platform and never applied to another job since then 2019 - Became extremely active on the platform and built a popular personal brand (especially in my city) through posting videos, daily thoughts, and learnings 2020 - Used it almost exclusively to market and grow my cloud training business 2023 - My daily tool to grow, inspire, and communicate with my group of friends, community, and business contacts LinkedIn has been the most powerful tool for building my career, building my personal brand, growing my network of business contacts, a direct link to my community, and an amazing way to meet new friends from all around the globe. Treat it as such and there's no telling what amazing things lie ahead.

I’ve been quiet the past couple of weeks due to my trip to Vilnius, absorbing what just happened. Talking about happiness in teams, on stage, in front of almost 200 people was so special to me. The best part…. I felt that I had impacted almost everyone in the room. The roar of clapping confirmed it. The first of many speaking engagements to spread happiness all around the world.

It’s funny how I forget it’s the weekend when I’m traveling. It’s seems more like a perpetual weekend.

When you go prepared for your talk, sometimes the audience exercise props can take over 😬

Honest feedback is always valuable, especially if it comes from someone who truly cares about your growth.

Doing things that bring yourself happiness should always be shared with others as it will inspire positivity and happiness in them, as well.
