Know thyself”, said Socrates, and he was right! Knowing who you are is the starting point of wisdom.

It means understanding your strengths, your weaknesses and your deepest motivations. And ensuring that motivation is the driving force behind your life.

Let’s talk about the time when the word IT didn’t yet exist, the time of the baby-boomers (for the record, we owe it to May 68 )!

Less than a generation later, everyone has had to adapt. Wasn’t it said at the time that the average worker changed profession twice in his or her lifetime?

One day, an acquaintance of mine, the mother of a young man of 20, to whom I offered a JobVision assessment in order to confirm her pre-choices in terms of training at a Polytechnic, replied:

“Thank you that’s too kind, but my son has already chosen his profession, he’s going to be an engineer.”

In my professional life, it has taken me some time and many years of experience to understand the value of acknowledging my mistakes, not just privately but also professionally. Apologising and making amends is an essential aspect of personal and professional development.

Hard skills and soft skills are the pillars of modern recruitment! Balancing these skills is essential to building high-performance teams.

In the vast ocean of emotions, this old proverb resonates like a beacon of emotional wisdom. Imagine yourself in a bathroom full of water, holding a baby gently in your arms. When it’s time to empty the tub, the expression reminds us of the need to keep our eye on the essentials while getting rid of the unnecessary.

It’s fantastic to be celebrating a long-standing collaboration with Helvartis in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the umbrella organisation for Commercial Practice Enterprises, which is part of the worldwide network of REEP EURO ENT’ENT Training or Educational Enterprises.

When I was at the Salon des métiers in Lausanne last week, I saw a slogan on a stand aimed at young people looking for a career. It caught my eye! Here it is: “Too chatty at school? you’ll be a good communicator”. Hence the idea for this post, which takes up points that might be considered weak, but which can become solid assets.
