Mi mission es su mission: on Community Building to drive change
Siloed accountability for organization-wide imperatives I’ve been carrying the word ‘digital’ in my job title for many years already — what a sadistic little b*tch for a word!

This is the story of a wealthy prince and a homeless woman who taught me a math lesson
I was 17 years old when I came out as a gay man to my family. I was still grieving my first heartbreak when I was struck with my first real loss – my grandma died. Shortly after, the deteriorating relationship between a gay single child and an orphan single mother, both trying to live…

After boarding the train, I opened my computer…
How do I manage my time? A time-bending view on time management.

Social Anxiety, Self-Confidence and Marketing.
Social Anxiety is one of those things I only managed to give a name to after I figured out that it was more than just simple inner voices transforming my social freedom into a social challenge. Having overcome a time in my life, in which I made use of all kinds of extreme techniques to…
