What is your most defining career experience?

These experiences have shaped and taught me the most: When I first dared to quit, I had the wonderful experience that the “right” doors always open if you are brave enough to go your authentic way.

When I co-founded a company, I realized that you can do much more than you think. And you continue to grow with colleagues, customers and business partners who believe you can do even more. And last but not least: a burnout showed me that passion and “a mode of functioning” should never come at the expense of healthy self-care.
