"How do I start feeling alive again?" A question I get asked all the time. And here is the solution... 👇 1️⃣ Purpose Journaling: Write daily about what gives you joy and meaning to rediscover your passion. 2️⃣ Travel Solo: Go on a solo adventure to a new place to reignite your sense of wonder and independence. (Even for half a day. Go out and discover a new city or a new district of your town.) 3️⃣ Random Acts of Kindness: Perform spontaneous acts of kindness to shift your focus outward and find fulfillment. Help your neighbor carry her bags or fix the toy of the child crying in the park. Do it, feel it! 4️⃣ Storytelling Workshops: Join a workshop to share your story and connect with others, gaining fresh perspectives. 5️⃣ Flash Fiction Writing: Create short, fictional stories to stimulate creativity and escape routine. Every second night; I improvise and tell my kids fictional stories; so that they can fall asleep easily. (and I reach a state of joy and inner peace) 6️⃣ Minimalist Challenge: Simplify your life for a month to declutter your mind and find what truly matters. 7️⃣ Dance Therapy: Take an improvisational dance class to free your body and mind, tapping into pure joy. Or just practice it at home, alone, with the headphones in your head. Sometimes, I do cha-cha-cha footwork; or Salsa speed-turns. 8️⃣ Forest Bathing: Spend a day in the forest, practicing mindfulness and absorbing nature’s calming effects. Want to thrive again? Embrace solo adventures, random kindness, and creative play! ❓ What is your way of feeling alive again? I'm all ears. --- Thanks for reading and if you enjoyed this: 1. 📌 Save it 2. ♻️ Repost it to share with others 3. 📝 Comment with your favorite takeaway 4. 🔔 Then hit follow I’m ErdeN Tüzünkan🌌, helping paralyzed Entrepreneurs & Mid-Career Professionals find meaning and clarity at work. #entrepreneur #meaningfulwork #purpose #findyourpassion #authenticity #innerpeace #selfimprovement

Green Your Circle: Cultivate a Positive Environment in Your Social Garden On this World Environment Day, let's not only focus on the physical environment but also take a closer look at our social environment. Just as a well-tended garden flourishes, our personal and professional lives thrive when surrounded by the right people. Check Your Social Garden Imagine your social circle as a garden. In any garden, there are plants that nourish and beautify, and there are weeds that can choke out growth. Similarly, in our lives, we have people who uplift and support us, and others who drain our energy and hinder our progress. Identifying Toxic and Supportive People Toxic People: These individuals often bring negativity, stress, and doubt. They might be close to you, making it challenging to distance yourself completely. However, being aware of their impact on your well-being is crucial. Minimize the time and energy you spend on such relationships. Supportive People: These are your cheerleaders, mentors, and friends who inspire and motivate you. They help you grow, celebrate your successes, and provide constructive feedback. Prioritize spending time with these individuals to enhance your personal and professional growth. Conclusion On World Environment Day, commit to greening your social circle. By consciously nurturing positive relationships and minimizing the influence of toxic ones, you create an environment where you can thrive. Your personal garden, like the Earth's ecosystems, needs regular care and attention to flourish. Remember, the health of your social environment is just as important as the health of our planet. Cultivate it wisely, and watch your growth and success bloom.

7 years ago, my attempts of being a TEDx speaker were being rejected again and again. One of the TEDx curators who rejected my proposal was kind enough to tell me why he didn't like it... because the speech was all about me. In his own words, "𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬." Based on the above premise, I went back to the drawing board and 3 months later I got my first TEDx gig in Athens. Two more came right after that, one in Las Vegas and one in Switzerland. Lessons learned: 1. When you lose don't lose the lesson.. The feedback from the person who rejected the speech, set me on the path that finally led me to my destination. 2. Be fast to refine and reconsider your ideas that don't work. Keep an open mind. Remember, an open mind is not an empty one. 3. When you communicate aim to serve others, not your self. People can sense egocentrism and will disconnect in no time. #savvastrichas #leadership

Today, I want to talk about a very powerful tool: the Social Panorama. I am working with it since about 15 years and it’s just one of many in my toolbox, but it stands out as one of the most effective. Every person and problem occupy a specific place in our social reality. The position and so called representation of a person in our mental space depends on our relationship with them. Now, imagine that your relationship with person X isn’t happy or even harmful. What if I told you that changing the representation of this person in your mental space can truly improve your relationship and be a complete game-changer? I’m just a free discovery call away if you are into this. Looking forward to hearing from you!

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. One year ago I had the pleasure to give a TedTalk. I was invited to share my experience – what an honor. I remember well how I was contemplating on the topic, figuring out what to talk about. I went for walks in the nature because when I’m connected to nature, ideas flow freely. Suddenly I knew what my message would be: Working across cultures is not a problem, but a huge opportunity- a gift. The key is how to tap into it and actively engaging with cultural differences. Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/e_6TAEUz As a leader, you can’t afford to ignore cultural differences in today’s global working world. Nor can you rely solely on your experiences; that’s not enough. In my TedTalk, I explained how to unwrap the gift of foreignness for personal and professional benefit. I shared my own story with Giorgio – yes, he joined me on stage 😉 – to highlight the difference between embracing this gift or ignoring it. At the end, it’s your decision. The response was overwhelming. My TedTalk garnered over 100K views in its first couple of month online. If you are a leader working in a multicultural environment and say, hey, I would love to turn my valuable experiences into opportunities, I would love to talk to you and hear where you stand right now. Belief me, there’s so much potential to unlock for greater success in a multicultural setting. It would be a pity to overlook it, wouldn't it? Don’t underestimate the power of differences. Let’s explore them and take your leadership to a next level together.

I've been waiting for the right moment to share some very exciting news... For some time I've been integrating elements of yoga when coaching clients on their presentation skills, with great results! After years of yoga practice I was curious to learn more. I took a bold & scary step in January & signed up to complete my 200 hour yoga teaching qualification. At 55 was this a wise thing to do?! So what's yoga got to do with presenting? Oodles; the breath is the fuel for the voice, getting out of our heads & into our bodies so we're fully present with ourselves & our audiences, setting out with clear intentions, working hard & then letting go, quieting our nervous systems so we get into flow state & show up with presence & impact. And that's just for starters! I've been grafting hard on anatomy, physiology, philosophy, Sanskrit & physical practice & as you can see my dog Gertie is a great learner, she's perfected both her dog with head up & down! So what's the plan? I depart shortly for 3 weeks of intense study. Then I'll continue creating an immersive residential programme which is busting with presenting expertise, yoga & neuroscience taking women on a transformational journey so they can use their authentic, powerful voices to speak up, out & often, creating positive change in the world. I can't wait to share more details with you! If you work somewhere which misses out on important thinking because there's a #gendersaygap, or when speaking opportunities come up you avoid eye contact or are relieved you're on holiday, or frankly are wildly frustrated when other less competent people get their ideas accepted, or get promoted just because they dared to speak... then I'd love to have a chat to hear more about how I can make this programme deliver exactly what you need! #presentpowerfully #gendersaygap #presentationcoach
