Acknowledge your shyness
Published on 2013-03-23 10:00:00
I was a very shy child something that made me very different compared with the society that I lived in. I have still some shyness in me, but I managed to accept it and to prove to myself that I can dare to do everything I wish to and to take chal
Dare to say YES
Published on 2013-02-16 13:21:00
People often think that it is difficult to say No when needed and I agree, it is something that we need to practice on in order to master. However, it is not always easy to accept challenges either – especially when it’s requiring taking responsi
Two Years Anniversary
Published on 2013-01-13 05:11:00
Two years ago this week, I started this blog. Due to a thirst for inspiration, I decided to start a blog that would inspire many people (including me) to dare to succeed. Since then, I met many amazing people both online and in Real Life who s
Saying Goodbye to 2012
Published on 2012-12-30 12:14:00
Now, when we stand upon the beginning of a new year let’s take this opportunity to evaluate how we did under 2012 and to set the goals we would like to achieve at 2013. For my part, 2012 was a great year. Although it started with a small set-ba
Be a good manager - learn to trust and motivate

Before I became a manager I didn’t understand the real meaning of what a good manager is.
Aim for improvement
Published on 2012-10-28 08:13:00
Life should be a journey of us becoming better and better, achieving goals and finding our destination. It is very important that we don’t compare ourselves to others nor compete with them on our road to success – on the other hand, we should continue comparing ourselves with who we were in the past in order to see improvements. It is common to think that when we get our formal education and experience in our work field that would be enough for our development. But if we don’t learn [..]

Looking for a job – get Linked!
Published on 2012-08-26 04:14:00
Nowadays the employment market is getting more and more related to social media platforms. If before about 80% of the jobs were appointed with the help of relatives and friends – now a big share in moving towards social networks as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter – and you don’t want to be left behind! In order to get the right job for you quickly it is good to use all the recruitment channels that you can. One of the best tools to keep in touch with your contacts and to meet new people who [..]
Stop making excuses – make things happen!
Published on 2012-07-07 08:38:00
In my life, I managed to get everything that I was truly determined to get. Many people may assume that this depends on luck or that I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth but this is very far away from reality. The reasons why I got everything that I really wanted are my true determination, hard work, the fact that I never give up together with some talent.
Nordea Masters - an international golf tournament in my hometown
Published on 2012-06-06 09:40:00
I live in a very quiet suburb, called Bro, which is located north of Stockholm, Sweden. Normally, not so much in happening here in Bro. There is a small Centre, not so many companies, a train station and a lot of nature. Not so many people are visiting my city on a regular day; people who live here are travelling to and from their working-places in Stockholm and enjoy quiet evenings and weekends in the country-side. But for a few days each year my hometown becomes the centre of attention for [..]
Starting a new job – tips for a successful first week
Published on 2012-06-02 10:32:00
Well, we’ve all been there, the first day at a new working-place, in some way it reminds us about the first day at school – very excited, a bit nervous and filled with hope. I guess that the butterflies will always be there on the first day of work, but there are ways to make the first days more efficient and successful at the same time as you manage to make an impression and show your strong sides. This is actually the reason why I haven’t been so active online and on this blog in the la [..]
Size-Me
Published on 2012-05-19 08:46:00
Last week I participated in a very important and inspiring event in Stockholm – Egoobost magazine’s Size-me event. The goal of this event was to urge young women to focus on the inside instead of aiming to look as the common beauty ideal. Egoobost is a Magazine targeted for young women and is focusing on issues as career development, education and self-esteem. The magazine was established by a very famous Swedish blogger, Isabella Löwengrip- Blondinbella who is only 21 year old and managed [..]
How to Use Manifesting To Get Anything You Want

I really love watching MarieTV at www.marieforleo.com. Every Tuesday, she releases a new inspiring video with wise advices. This week, she interviewed a guest expert and bestselling author, Gabby Bernstein. Gabby says that if you’re struggling to get something in life — from career goals to relationships, health or happiness — the REAL work is an inside job. Below are Gabby Bernstein’s 3 important manifesting steps which you can take immediately to get anything you want: Step 1: Get [..]

A lesson from the past – know the expectations
Published on 2012-04-15 11:49:00
Many years ago, I had a bad experience that taught me a lesson when looking for a new job and I hope that it could help others not to make the same mistake that I did without experiencing it on their own. I got a very interesting and exciting job – or at least according to the title and I was very happy to get such an opportunity while studying to my Master degree - to be able to work on a 50% basis when studying full time. The only problem was that my employer decided to hire me due to the g [..]

Looking for a job? Help others!
Published on 2012-04-01 10:44:00
Together we are much stronger than alone! For me, it is a way of living. It is much easier to go through a tough process if we can share it together with others – so why not doing the same when we are looking for a new job?! I think that we all should help each other when looking for a new job and that is why I normally try to find other persons who are at the same situation in order to give and get mutual support, advices, tips and information about suitable job ads that we heard about [..]
Face your fears!
Published on 2012-03-24 14:43:00
This post in dedicated and inspired by my son Kevin who is 8 years old. Sometimes, we as parents should also listen to our children and their wisdom. Kevin, like me, used to be quite shy when he was a small child; he was always observing from a distance in order to see what is going on in his kindergarten and didn’t stand tall. Today, while talking with other parents, I realised that he made a huge progress to the confident boy he is today!
Honesty is the best policy!
Published on 2012-03-18 13:32:00
To be completely honest or not, it is a life-dilemma! In many cases it is difficult to know if to tell the whole truth… or to leave some of it untold. I consider myself to be a very honest person but at the same time I’m diplomatic and try to do my best not to hurt others. In many cases in my life I was reminded that telling the whole truth, even though it is a truth that is hard to face, could be the right thing to do. When other people feel like you are hiding something, they could expect [..]
Take responsibility – be an example
Published on 2012-03-10 12:55:00
For me, the role of a leader or a manager needs to be taken for the right reasons.It is unfortunate that many people want to lead for the wrong reasons and that they might be motivated by money or power. You can find examples for that all over the news – people who are using their position of power for doing immoral things and it is something that we all need to work against in order to make our organisations a better place to work in. If you want to advance in your career and take a leading r [..]
Working the distance – self motivation 101
Published on 2012-03-04 13:14:00
For me, working partly from home is a great opportunity to work efficiently while focusing on work at the same time as I don’t need to travel to a distanced working-place. I have tried this a few times and I think that it is a great way to give 110% to the work tasks while you are alert and in a good mood since you don’t have to use public transportation or to travel very early to get to work on time. The key to success while working from home is to stay focused and self-motivated. Some [..]
Time for myself
Published on 2012-02-26 09:47:00
Last week was a luxury time for me - my husband and son were skiing in the north of Sweden and I had a week to spend on my own – with time to re-charge my batteries, to meet friends, to read a book and to think about my future. Even though many people don’t understand why I enjoy being on my own sometimes I think that it is a great opportunity for each and everyone of us to take it slowly for a while, to analyze our current situation, plan our next steps while we get more energy to perform t [..]
A tribute to Whitney Houston
Published on 2012-02-18 04:53:00
On Saturday February 11th, the world lost a special person who managed to reach tremendous success, to fall, to be a role model and an anti-hero all in her short life-time. Whitney Houston was a person who managed to inspire us at a young age and to give us an example on how to live and what to avoid doing in our lives. Her last years were tragic so I would like to remember her as she was at the beginning of her career when she was a true role-model for me and I was truly inspired by her songs [..]
Life is like a dance of Tango!
Published on 2012-02-11 17:15:00
Life is not like a bed of roses rather that a dance of Tango. It is easier to think that if you have a goal - you will move forward in a straight line, but in most cases the situation looks much different. It is more likely that when our lives develop, we will take a few steps forward following by a step backwards, and in some cases a step sideways. Once we realise that it is a common way of development we should embrace the deviation to get the needed energy, to plan our next moves and to lea [..]

Healthy body and healthy soul!
Published on 2012-01-29 08:35:00
If we want to succeed in climbing the career ladder we need to start from within – having a strong character and a healthy body would help us with our quest. I’m defiantly not a health freak, and you are not going to find me at the gym a few times a week, but in the last year, I realized that taking care of my body and soul is essential when I’m determined to reach my career goals. I think that all of us who are ready to take challenges and want to reach career goals would need to concent [..]

Don’t forget to have it in writing!
Published on 2012-01-14 08:06:00
Luckily, I learned this lesson at my first attempt to find a job. It is quite a simple lesson but should not be taken for granted. After finishing high school and before joining the army, I had more than half a year to do as I wish. I still lived at my parents’ home and had no financial stress or worries but I wanted to work, to get experience, to take challenges at the same time as I get some pocket money. I went to the unemployment office in my home town, read job ads in the newspapers and [..]
One Year Anniversary
Published on 2012-01-09 12:07:00
Today, it is exactly 1 year since I started this blog. Last January 9th, I felt that I needed inspiration and decided to start a blog that would inspire many people to dare to succeed at the same time as I do the same. Since then, I met many interesting people who share my passion for career, blogging, coaching or HR and Leadership. The blog was first of all based on the bachelor thesis – A road to Success which I co-wrote – that included a strategic plan that gives concrete steps for su [..]
How is it going with your New Year resolution?
Published on 2012-01-06 08:42:00
This blog post is dedicated to my dear blog-Friend Noir, thank you so much for the great idea! First of all, I must admit that I’m not too much into New Year’s resolutions in general since normally the focus is on very shallow wishes that regard to our appearance or other declarations where we promise to make a 180 degrees change from a specific date. If you want to make a change or aiming for a specific achievement – the below points could help you on your way – + Your dream or vision [..]

As we are stepping towards the end of 2011, it is a good opportunity to use the holidays to spend time with our loved ones and to take some time off for reflections; Time to analyze where we are, what we have accomplished during this year and where we are heading.

Be inspired by Sheryl Sandberg
Published on 2011-12-17 09:57:00
As the chief operating officer of Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg has a lot to teach those of us who are aiming for the top. She is an example of a success story where those who have talent, passion and dare to work hard - can actually reach their visions.
In a recent Ted Talk presentation on Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders, Sheryl Sandberg gave 3 recommendations for women who would like to stay and advance in their careers – I’m sure that both men and women can learn a lot and be inspired from [..]
