For Leaders Who Don't just Want Success but also Bliss and Balance. Those Who Dare To Be Human & Real and Who Know That Leading Others Starts With Leading Themselves
Human. Imperfect. And still worthy.
Some days ago, I attended a meetup where we talked about failure culture. Fascinating views and conversations. And it inspired me to write this up. Maybe it serves you too - if so, let I'd love to hear from you. Just drop me an e-mail at [email protected]
"I am really good at my job - and still make mistakes.
I adore honesty - and still I lie sometimes.
I have clear boundaries - and still on occasions don't manage to say no.
I decided to not participate in drama - and still find myself in it from time to time.
I am a strong leader - and still, also soft and yearn to be taken care of occasionally.
I am generally organized - and sometimes still chaotic.
I'm a serious person - and still laugh about silly stuff.
I'm a feminist - and still love (most) men.

5-Minute Leadership Wisdom #3: If you're a perfectionist - this is for you
We all know someone who says he or she is a perfectionist. Here's what's behind and 2 crucial things to know about it.
3 Strategies To Free Up Time (AND Reduce Stress)
Too much to do (or so it seems) and too little time. A common disease which attacks me as well from time to time. Suddenly things seem to pile up and before we can blink, the day is over.
And the pressure increases.
And voila: we feel stressed, thoughts start racing in our head, we're urgently looking for solutions, start rushing and trying to be even more efficient than usual.
More often than not with the result that we're even more stressed AND still not all things are being done, we start lagging behind, which boosts stress again.
A pretty damn horrible spiral.
Thankfully there are some strategies that help us getting out of that. In this video I talk about the 3 I found really helpful and most effective (there are many more - still, got to start somewhere, right?).

Masterclass: The 3 lies about how success looks like for women.. and how to stop living them
- Are you a female leader

- Feel like you have to prove yourself every day?
- That you have to be in full control all the time and do it all by yourself?

Hi, I'm Claudia and the founder of The Better Workplace and creator of the Personal Leadership eXperience 5.0 program. Having spent 30 years in leading positions in the IT business, and running my own company provided me with tons of knowledge, insight and learnings which I'm sharing with you on a weekly basis. Oh - and did I mention that I raised two kids on my own? That was probably when I learned most about humans - how we work, and where we screw up. What works, what doesn't work. What makes us happy, how to get those relationships working and how to get more energy. Still lots to learn and to find out - and you can be the first to learn what I learn - just subscribe to my weekly newsletter and you're in. Lots of love, Claudia
