A way of life
This evening we were invited to a dress up 80ties party and I could actually drink beer :-) Believe it or not just 3 days before I had my mom on the phone and we talked about pretending to drink as I did not want all my friends to know yet about the baby. I had an entire plan worked out from swapping glasses More +
So last night I told my husband that I wouldn’t proceed with this new job idea – no trips to Amsterdam because a tiny little something was growing inside me. He wasn’t exactly excited. More scared as shit to be honest. Yet this is not something you can get to any compromises. I would never have been able More +
There is one big complication. In theory I could be pregnant. And a new job and a baby are going to be too much. I am 3 weeks beyond my date and I really could have done a test much earlier. Yet for some reason I just did not quite want to do one yet. I can't ignore it any longer. So I bought a test and More +
I applied for the job. After spending lots of time on their website and browsed their pretty awesome “Snoutbook” I got more and more enthusiastic about their work philosophy. I sure do realize that the grass isn’t greener at the other side of the lawn yet sometimes a slightly different greenish colour is More +
In my turmoil of who I want to be and where I want to take my life a dear friend calls me up and tells me there is a job at his company I really should apply for. I wasn’t considering changing jobs at all so my first reaction was no – not the right time for such plans. But curious as I am I must take a More +
I have the most wonderful mom of the whole wide world :-) She is always there for me when I need her. My mom sent me: “In the end it’s not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away.” - Van Shing Xiong Als je loslaat heb je twee handen vrij (If you let go More +
I enjoyed the feedback on my little video series that much that I felt like I needed to create another one. Before distributing it I asked a few colleagues to give me their feedback. One of them is British but he can be as direct as a Dutch person. He probably has been abroad too long to live the English More +
Pooh, already that title is scary :-) Well, today I feel like a machine gun ready to shoot. Don’t get me wrong it’s the kind of machine gun that a modern Cupido would have wanted to have. One that shoot all kinds of positive feelings into the world! But I need to ensure to aim well first and not use all More +
It’s Monday and actually I like Monday’s. I was looking for an email that I sent a while ago when my eye was caught by another email in my inbox. It was an email I received a week ago which nearly made me blush. I truly felt the genuine enthusiasm in this compliment and it really made my day. And whilst More +
A few months ago I was asked to talk about NPS at a conference where I met Rijn Vogelaar the author of the book “Superpromoter – the power of enthusiasm”. His book is all about companies needing to identify those customers that love their brand and have a natural tendency to spread their enthusiasm. Once you More +
