Innovation and creativity at Unit4
Few weeks ago, I had the pleasure to work with some of Unit4’s top innovators - and this experience reminded me of the joy, and importance, of creativity in the tech space. Here are some afterthoughts, in a little random (read: creative) order. Thinking big. Managing...
Why I keep coming back to Nazare
From the most wild, powerful and overwhelming things that nature has to offer, Nazare is easily in the top 10, worldwide. Although I discovered it after living in Portugal for some time, it could be a perfect reason to move over here for some adrenaline junkies. But...
nft – are tokens as new as they seem?
NFTs. They are everywhere. Lots of them. Branching out at a wild pace. New names are popping out here & there, daily. And although I didn’t feel like becoming a crypto currency early adopter - when it was still a new thing - there’s one aspect of this movement...
The career talk
How do you know whether you are in the right place, career-wise? How can you tell that you fulfil your true potential? Are you even compensated fairly for the value you bring to the table? These questions are an intrinsic part of the economic exchange of goods or...
Is Portugal still a good place to live for a foreigner?
It’s 29th December. I’m typing this while sunbathing, listening to ocean waves hitting the rocky coastline just 60m away from me. Yes, and I’m wearing shorts. It’s almost 20°C today. I could just leave it here as my ultimate recommendation, but after 2 years there’s...
A praise for originality (in marketing)
A brand works if it's relevant and memorable I was triggered recently to think about the quality and originality of this piling mountain of marketing content that I’m facing everyday. Those long kilometers that I laboriously scroll through in my social media feeds....
If only this thing existed 13 years ago…
“Tell me more about this Spanish online MBA school” - asked my colleague Pedro earlier today. So I began telling him my ThePowerMBA journey, which inevitably led us to something really profound - the underlying growth mindset, and the constant willingness to learn....
Review: Noise (audiobook)
When I saw a new title co-authored by Daniel Kahneman, I knew it's going to be a good, insightful piece. Like the "Thinking, Fast and Slow" was. Yes, it comes from a renowned brand, and yes, expectations are set high. Nobel-high. So, here is the "Noise" by Kahneman,...
On podcasting
I must admit, I didn’t get the hype about podcasting at all. I guess my approach towards creating content wasn’t quite there, back then. I mean, podcasts always seemed to me like just another comms channel. Just another medium in the mix, something between blogging...
A Journey of Micro-Learning: My Ultimate Growth Mix
I was strategizing my approach to personal growth, and it turned out that I'm a big fan of micro-learning. I've been doing it for years now in various forms, usually online courses in addition to dozens of books (and even more so audiobooks). First remark here - it's...
A note about my writing
This is loosely categorized pile of thoughts. At some point I may introduce some better order here, but for now – it’s a sketchbook. Perhaps the very reason why blogs exist.
