There are so many of them! However, one of the best is ‘Immortality’ by Milan Kundera. It discusses the questions of immortality and talks about the thoughts that people encounter in their daily lives as well as their entire being.

‘Everything happens for a reason’ is a classic that never fades away in my mind.

I used to love dancing when I was a child. Not anymore.

I will never let go of my passion for music, books, sports, travel and gardening.

I was always interested in life coaching. There is nothing more joyful than helping people find their way back to themselves and crack the key to happiness and freedom.

I would travel more and spend more time with my family.

I always feel motivated to share my experience as much as I can and help my team, company and clients, to the best of my knowledge. I also like to work with a good, challenging team. The results of working on products, processes or ideas in practice keep me inspired. I realise that relying solely on a reputation for motivation can make me feel vulnerable and fragile. I try to steer away from that mentality.

My family supports me and is patient when I need to spend long times away from home.

Men's World Origin.

The prejudice and stereotypical thinking that is still prevalent today, when it comes to gender role expectations in society, is probably the biggest obstacle facing the technological industry. It is still a man’s world and a lot of people still think that women can’t do tech jobs.

I am known for the flexibility I offer in terms of time and knowledge, my capacity for building relationships, my high drive and expertise.

In my opinion, three major factors drive success. Firstly, going the extra mile for your projects and clients is crucial. Next, good networking skills and being part of numerous tech communities are also important. Lastly, having an attitude of curiosity and a desire for knowledge always helps.

“What is your bandwidth now?” is probably the most common question that I get asked.

The thing that I enjoy most about my job is the fact that there is always something to learn. I also like seeing my network spread globally and enjoy my relationships with community members.

I would advise them to never give up, and pursue their ambitions without fear. If you know what you’re doing and have the right knowledge, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Demonstrate your knowledge and worth with confidence.

My leadership style is primarily transformation. It is friendly but focused on results.

Using one-to-one sessions for listening and culture consulting has helped me a lot. Besides, I have always made it a point to listen to my team members and stay receptive to their ideas, wishes, challenges and issues.

I use facts and figures.

I don’t think gender has had much influence on my career either way.

Absolutely!

From my field - Web content strategy and Social media connection to corporate websites in countries. I keep updating my languages and ways of better communication!!! Lastly transactional analysis and life coaching.

Our corporate websites use Drupal 9 and 10 as their tech platforms. It is an open-source CMS that helps deliver ambitious, elegant and performant digital experiences at scale.

Technology is a bunch of tools and platforms that help my life and business while easing my personal growth, learning and entertainment.

There is always better technology around the corner. It is constantly improving to help us with our everyday tasks. Hopefully, it is always for the betterment and safety of humanity and does not work against us, or become prone to misuse for fraud and attacks.

Video calls are the greatest technological invention. Today, I can see and talk to my friends and loved ones even when I am away.

For sure, it can and it should. After all, technology is not just for business. I believe technology should help more charity organisations, minorities, health and education in poor regions and elderly and handicapped people.

I always keep learning. I am constantly involved in seminars, webinars, conferences and communities.

Google drives - sharable with everyone, permission-based access
Airtable - modern way of sharing, displaying and managing tasks, portfolio information or other high volume data content
Drupal - web content management platform, flexible, can be customised

I love Wikipedia. It is an incredible source of knowledge and slowly replacing the huge lexicon.

WhatsApp is definitely my top favourite for communication. I also like the backup solutions from mobile phones to cloud.

Personal knowledge and curiosity make each human being unique.

Mind and body should always be in balance and should work together for a coordinated performance of the entire human system.
