Leading Through Stress: Helping Your Team Navigate Pressure with Clarity and Balance

In my experience, these moments are critical for leadership. Not because the leader can magically erase the pressure, but because they can absorb some of it, redirect it, and create the conditions for the team to move forward.

Say What you Do + Do What you Say

Too many internal teams operate on the assumption that if they’ve sent an email, shared a slide, or mentioned something once in a meeting, then “they’ve done their job.” But the reality is—communication is only successful if it is received and understood.

Closing the Summer with Three Books, Three Worlds

At first glance, these three books couldn’t be more different: a true tragedy, a historical biography, and a speculative novel. And yet, when I put them together, they started speaking to one another — about leadership, about humanity, about how we live, and about why we do what we do.

Price ≠ Value: When High Costs Meet Low Standards in the Customer Experience Era

Leadership, in this context, means setting expectations, investing in people, and being present in the moments that matter most. Without that, no price tag can justify the experience.

My Summer Pause with a Book and a Film: When Simplicity holds Weight

Both are stories of grief — personal, generational, and social. Both deal with the aftermath of things we couldn’t prevent. They remind us that tragedy often strikes without explanation, and that what follows isn’t a neat story arc, but something quieter: remembrance, confusion, persistence.

Διακοπές – A Pause That Matters

Διακοπες may mean a pause to reconnect with ourselves and those around us. To sleep in. To laugh more. To notice the sea breeze. To feel like ourselves again.

When Strengths Sleepwalk Us into Blind Spots

The feedback was sincere, and the recognition appreciated. But something in it made me pause. Not because assertiveness is unfamiliar to me—it’s one of my go-to tools. In fact, that’s precisely why I paused.

Why letting go of defensiveness isn’t weakness—it’s a quiet form of leadership

In today’s world of constant change, new tools, shifting goals, and hybrid working models, perfection is a moving target. If we can accept that, then defensiveness starts to look less like a form of strength and more like a barrier to growth.

Who is betting on you?

The missing piece when no one is telling your story yet—and how, if that’s the case, you can begin shaping that narrative from scratch, especially when you don’t have the usual signals working in your favor.
