Do You Dare to Be Yourself?
 
Especially If the Path Isn’t Straight?
 
Navigating your career and life path can feel overwhelming. You might question which role, company or environment truly fits to you. And if you’re like me, you’ve probably faced moments where you felt lost—trying to meet expectations that didn’t align with who you truly are.
 
Join me as I share my personal journey – one that may feel more familiar than you think. I’ll talk about the struggle of balancing external expectations with my own identity and values, the moments when I almost lost sight of what truly mattered, and how I ultimately found the courage to align my career with my authentic self.
 
I’ll share what helped me move forward so that you, too, can define what’s right for you – and find the courage to take the hardest step: the first one.
