Category: Blog Posts – the important Basics

We’ve all felt them. Triggers. Some we recognise, some are new to a bit of surprise. Triggers are either intentional or unintentional, the important thing though is HOW you respond to them. NO Point on dwelling on IF they are intentional or unintentional, skip that immediately, it’s a complete waste of your energy. And Focus on NOT to respond with hurt feelings. The good news is that everyone feels triggers, it’s nothing wrong with you so stay calm so you can think straight. 

Take a paus, ignore it and practise in advance how to respond to them is all classic approaches. How do we respond then? If repeated from the same people prepare a strategy. Like when you know what will happen at a Family Holiday dinner, at a meeting at work or some other social settings you interact in, be prepared, you’ve got this. 

First your goal is not to take any bait, a trigger is something that is meant to fool you so don’t react, ignore it instead, be COOL with it or at least pretend to be cool with it to get your mind out of reaction mode. Other people notice it as well so no idea to think about that either, even children sense it. If repeated by the same person you can look at them and pause and ask “what did you say”, that will make many people to say “Oh it was nothing” it is quite unusual for people to actually repeat what they said if it was very rude or rephrase it. 

Don’t turn it into an argument of WHAT you thought they said. Just respond with a few words, not an essay, just three to five words, nothing else. Nothing rude just confirm what they said in a calm way, then leave it at that. Don’t engage in some argument, if they do, say: “this is a family dinner so I don’t want to talk about this” and ignore them. If they get upset you say “you seem upset, we can talk about it later when you calm down”. Use few words, be direct and not emotional.

Don’t turn the meeting or family dinner into a conflict, if you engage in that they will only shift and blame you since you also are acting aggressive and are ruin the moment. It’s not the right time to solve old problems or personal differences at a dinner table or at a meeting right? Don’t agree to meet up with them somewhere else either, they will have to learn how to behave and not calling people out, and that is not your job. You don’t need to come to any closure with them, your closure is that you walk away or remove yourself from the room if it heats up. Learn to read people when it’s the right time to try to get an agreement of peace, to some it’s never so don’t engage in useless disagreements.

It is not to be afraid of disagreements, it is wise to know when it is no point if you know that their goal is not to make peace at all. Know people from a distance, their actions tell who they are, you don’t need to ask or need any explanation. Keep your peace, it is priceless and learn how to protect it. 

Trying to be funny is not a good approach, the tense feeling in the whole room already know that it is not funny. Suggest another topic to talk about, say “Let’s talk about something else” and tell something that lightens up the room, take ownership of being the bigger person, and LEAD the conversations in an optimistic way. If attacked just look at them and repeat again, “Let’s talk about something else” and do that. That is proof of Leadership that you lead by example towards peace and harmony instead of chaos and verbal attacks. Also use the very wise phrase: “Well let’s agree that we disagree and let’s move on”. 

Motivation comes and goes, but habits?
Habits stay with you. Habits are the quiet engine behind every success story.

Think about it—your daily choices either move you closer to your goals or further away from them. One small habit, repeated daily, can transform your career, your health, even your confidence.

The truth is you can do this. And you don’t need to become someone else, since you are not your bad habits, kick them out and replace them with good habits. Start with one thing—like journaling five minutes in the morning, blocking time for focus work, or saying no to distractions.

Over time, these small actions compound, just like interest in a bank account. Good habits give you structure when life feels uncertain, energy when motivation dips, and progress even when you’re not noticing it.

That’s why the most successful people don’t rely on willpower—they design habits that carry them forward automatically.

So ask yourself: what one habit can you start today that your future self will thank you for? Because success isn’t built overnight—it’s built daily, through the habits you choose to keep.

You’ve probably seen it: job ads asking for candidates who are “humble”.
But what does humble actually mean in a professional context—especially in fields like finance where precision, analysis, and collaboration are critical?

Humility ≠ Weakness
Being humble doesn’t mean downplaying your skills or lacking confidence. Instead, it’s about recognizing that you don’t have all the answers, being open to learning, and valuing the expertise of others.

🎯 In a Finance Department, Humility Looks Like:
* Collaboration: Sharing insights without the need to “win” every discussion. Finance supports every department—so listening well matters as much as speaking up.
* Accountability: Admitting mistakes quickly and fixing them before they become costly.
* Continuous Learning: Staying curious about new systems, regulations, and trends rather than assuming you’ve mastered it all.
* Respect for Numbers & People: Accuracy is non-negotiable, but so is respecting colleagues, even under pressure.

🎯 Why Employers Value It
A humble employee can balance confidence with curiosity. They perform with excellence but also bring others along, creating trust in the team. In finance, where decisions directly impact the health of the business, humility ensures that accuracy, transparency, and integrity stay at the center of the work.

🎁 In short, humility in the workplace is a strength. It’s what makes great professionals not just skilled, but also reliable partners in driving long-term success.

We often think of success as the result of big breakthroughs, but in reality, it’s built on small, consistent habits. Day by day, the choices we make create momentum—or hold us back.

Successful people don’t rely on bursts of motivation alone. They create routines that keep them moving forward even on the days when energy or inspiration runs low. Habits act as an anchor, giving structure and clarity in both business and life.

Here are a few powerful habits that can transform your path to success:

🔹 Focus on what generates results – Prioritize the tasks that move the needle, not just the ones that fill your calendar.
🔹 Take time to reflect – Schedule moments to analyze what’s working, what isn’t, and where you need to adjust course.
🔹 Learn continuously – Keep your mind alert with new knowledge and insights, even outside your field.
🔹 Protect your focus – Say no to distractions, set boundaries, and respect your own time.
🔹 Celebrate progress – Even small wins matter. They remind you that you’re moving forward.

Habits are the real building blocks of confidence, resilience, and growth. When you repeat the right actions, you train your mind and body to operate at a higher level. Over time, this consistency turns into results—and those results create opportunities.

Remember: success doesn’t come from doing everything at once. It comes from doing the right things, consistently.

One of the biggest challenges in business—and in life—is not the lack of opportunities. It’s the lack of clarity. Many of us spend years chasing goals that don’t truly belong to us, often influenced by expectations, fear, or comparison.

So, how do you find out what you really want?

🔹 Pay attention to your energy. Write down what excites you and what drains you. Energy is one of the most honest indicators of alignment.

🔹 Identify repeating patterns. If the same ideas or desires keep resurfacing, it’s not random. It’s a clue pointing you toward what matters most.

🔹 Silence the noise. Imagine making decisions without fear or the opinions of others. What would you choose? That answer is often your compass.

🔹 Start small. Clarity grows through action. Testing, trying, and adjusting are how you refine what really fits.

The truth is: clarity creates confidence. Once you know what you want, it becomes easier to say no, to set boundaries, and to focus on the work that matters most.

You don’t need to have it all figured out today. You just need the courage to take the first step toward your true path.

✨ Because when you pursue what you really want, you stop living by default—and start leading your life with intention.

Integrity is your inner compass—it’s what keeps you steady no matter what storms you face. Living with integrity means honoring your own values, keeping your promises to yourself, and standing by what you believe in even when no one is watching. It’s about alignment: your words, your actions, and your heart all moving in the same direction.

When you show integrity to others, you build trust. People feel your consistency, your honesty, and your respect. You don’t need to be perfect—you just need to be real. Integrity inspires confidence, because it proves you can be relied on, both in good times and in challenges.

Every time you choose integrity, you strengthen your character and shine a light for others. It’s not just about doing what’s right—it’s about being true to yourself and showing others the strength of that truth. That’s how leaders are made, and how lasting impact is created.

Within the science of Motivation some say that either you have motivation or you don’t. 

We strongly disagree. Motivation is something that can be cultivated with a customised strategy. 

Motivation is rooted in the word Motive; meaning purpose or your Why that is a foundation within Personal Development. According to a dictionary Motivation and Motive is derived from a French word meaning to Move, to do something, to take action. Motivation is to act towards what you want to accomplish. 

Many confuse a lack of Motivation with simply not feeling like doing something and because of their feelings conclude that they lack Motivation. Decisions based on feelings cause problems since you cannot only do things when you feel like it. We have another blog post about how to develop your decision making. 

Instead on focusing on your feelings, to feel motivated, ask yourself what do you need to get motivated? What are you lacking or what do you think that you are lacking to be able to act towards what you want to accomplish? What are you lacking? Try to identify, write down your excuses and try to pin point what it is.

When you have identified different areas you can ask yourself is these areas really are needed now or if you can put them into your plan as goals along the way. Perhaps it is circumstances that is not within your reach right now but does that mean that you cannot pursue what you want to accomplish? Do it anyway and find another way to do it. 

Say that you for instance want a car to take you places you want to go but your car break down and you don’t afford to fix it. Can you find another way of doing what you want without a car? 

Try to simplify you plan with only the most crucial details you really need to get you going towards your goals. When you get the moving you will quite fast get a momentum and that will help you as a fuel to continue since you will see that you are making progress. 

Write down each week your accomplishments and review them and celebrate your wins. 

Making a plan will help you to see your progress and identify where you are and your next moves. 

To take with you the question: – What do I lack right now? Is a good question to see that you don’t always have what you think you need, you just go with what you have and keep moving according to your plan. Sometimes your plan needs adjustments but that is nothing to worry about, sometimes a detour is needed as well but you will anyway have your goals clear in your mind and in your plan down in writing. 

To conclude: Don’t rely on your feelings to decide whether you are Motivated or not. Also don’t rely on things or circumstances that you thing you need for your next move. Just go with what you have and the momentum will help you to find out along the way how to navigate and you will also be a pro at problem solving as you continue!
