The only reason I can help you is not my vast experience but the size of my mistakes. In my more than 30 years in the profession, I think I have been wrong in everything. And on a personal level, more of the same.So, if you are looking for some kind of Superwoman who knows everything, about everything and because she always did it right, got it right and never fell down, I won't be able to help you. Maybe I can help you walk and stand up.I can guide you, give you ideas, tell you how I fell in a similar place, tell you how I got out, how much glass I broke and how I learned to avoid it. Because that's the only thing I have of value: my years at the front, my endless hours standing guard in the trenches.There are people who know theories, who give classes, who explain what others have thought, unless they are very good, and they explain to you what they themselves have thought.But these people have never led anything, never broken anything, never hit their bones in the mud and had to get up. That's why these people never swear and talk about humanism, and values, and resilience and things like that, in long, impeccable, brilliant words.I don't know about that, I confess.I have spent more than 30 years among people (no talent). Men and women full of fears and doubts. Truck drivers, workers, clerks, administrative staff, computer specialists, accountants, controllers. I have spent my life among my own doubts, my own fears, my own need to learn more in order to move forward, to make fewer mistakes, to better guide the people I have had with me. I know nothing about leadership. Neither about hiring, nor about evaluations, nor about synergies and empowerment and sustainability. I know about hiring, firing, works councils, union liaison. I know about truck drivers waiting on the docks, about pallets, about the cold when warehouses are not heated, about how pallets are strapped. I know about accounting supplies, quality technicians, safety shoes, ERP and CRM... I know about business.When it comes to professional development, it's a bit the same for me. Of course, I have my Master's degree and more studies and diplomas and little squares. Because I've spent my life studying everything.But not because I'm theoretical: it's just that it's made me dizzy to see, every so often, the number of important things I had no idea about.So if I can be your guide, we can make a good agreement. If you want someone to explain to you how superheroes fly, I have no idea.Because I enjoy sharing my personal and professional experience, telling what I lived, not what I taught.The only thing you can be sure of is that I have seen how the people I am close to and train improve.I know that they become calmer, with more perspective. I know they become more confident, not only professionally, but in living their daily lives and planning for the future.Many years ago, a senior German manager who met my team after a year of big changes, was with them in an all-day meeting and in the evening, he said to me: "How did you get that group of people I met a year ago to not only look taller, but they even move like Harrelson's Men?"I swear he could have paid me two bonuses that same day, that wouldn't have made me feel happier and more satisfied with what we had done together.Right.So, if you are a manager, shareholder or freelancer looking to improve yourself to better balance your life and your business, without losing authenticity or cheapening your values or selling your soul to the devil, enjoying your successes, yourself and yours, let's get started.If you are anything else or are looking for something different, I have nothing for you. Not today, not ever.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
