I’m intrigued by little, irrelevant statistics and seeing positive numbers always gives me a tiny dopamine kick. Right now, I’m obsessed by my bank savings account, especially after Dutch banks have raised their interest rates from 0 to less than 1%. This means that each month, I’ll get some extra money on my bank account […]
During #PopChat, Brianne Fleming asked an intriguing question: “Have you ever closed a chapter of your career or made a big pivot?” The question was great, and the answers were even better. You should read the thread. Many of the responses given had a lot in common: When people closed a chapter, they were often […]
Today (January 23th) is Community Manager Appreciation Day. And community managers certainly deserve it. Their value is often overlooked, but community managers are the ones who build and maintain organizations of tight-knitted people, whether in a personal or professional setting.

Last Friday, I went to an international networking event, where I met a lot of new and familiar faces. Suddenly, someone approached me and said: “Hey, I think I know you!” “Really?

That probably means you’re a lurker. And this is not bad at all, because 90% of the internet users are using […]
What have you been doing during the Christmas break? Nothing much? Cool, same here! And I have to say, I am truly enjoying it. I’d define myself as a person who can never sit still. I’ve practically used all my PTO days to travel abroad, discover new cities and meet new people. Traveling certainly is […]
Someone from my local sports team asked me if I could create a social media post that reflects on 2022 and looks forward to 2023. After publishing the post, a fair amount of people messaged me to compliment me on/for my writing talent. Wait, so my writing is pretty good, huh? Do I have talent? […]
As I’m reflecting on 2022, I can’t help but going back to December 2021.
