the atypical profile endless cycle
It is easy to label atypical profiles as unstable, needy, picky… they get misunderstood and sometimes mistreated when they actually are a blessing for the world of work. Wether they are employees, managers, CEOs, or entrepreneurs, they are the change-makers, the real disrupters, the visionaries. The world needs them more than ever.

Women in Transition Retreats
I am going to tell you a little story.
It all started when I gave my first talk in Bali in early january this year, in Hubud, one of the most famous and unanimously ranked one of the best coworking space in the world (sources : Forbes, CNN,...).
It has a specific place in my heart since it is where I have found the community, support, motivation and inspiration to start putting together Exploring Happy back in in november 2015.
During this talk, I was sharing my work and vision on how to shift your perspective on fulfillment, empowerment, productivity and balance at work by learning to manage your energy, not your time, explaining to the audience how self-awareness and energy management were the keys to design a work life and a life that really suit your natural abilities and your nature.

Why productivity hack trend is missing the point
There are dozens of popular best sellers books on this topic, which have given birth to hundreds (or even thousands?) of bullet-point like articles on internet… For sure, these books contain some golden nuggets of insights and advices. However, articles trying to summarize the main take-aways are most of the time full of shortcuts or incomplete assessments, ...
Don’t get me wrong : I believe in morning routines and habit stacking for key moments of your work days to gain clarity and efficiency. There are very powerful technics, tips and tools to increase focus and productivity…. But… at the same time… All of these injunctions make me want to run away. Why?

Self-sustainability… wait, what is it exactly?
Sustainability… A very trendy word painted everywhere in green shiny letters... So used and abused that most people have lost sight of its meaning.
