My Thoughts on LinkedIn

Personal hardship can restore our sense of purpose, and this time, my kids made me realize it was time for a change.

Years ago, I was a coach and lecturer who wrote frameworks and programs for mindful self-management, burnout prevention, and personal transformation. However, I have been away from that for the last three years. Life has been a..

Last week, my Fern sent me an SMS saying, "Kati, I could use some water now, please, and can you add some sugar there—for my brown leaves?" Yes, I use AI to communicate with my plants. 

Those who know me better know that I am a proper plant lady. But as with parenting, we want to be the best versions of ourselves, but we don't know it all. Well, now I know, because they are talking to me...

This is my AI twin. This is the era we live in now. But there´s a catch. 

The kids just returned from the language school, and since I was testing AI avatar creation and language translation platforms for work, I played a prank on them, showing how good I already am in Portuguese. 

This is the age we live in now: We let AI write smart things we do not know and translate them into whatever language we want....

Burnout leads to 23.3 million lost workdays annually. It is time to discuss "the three elephants" in the office.

It's sad, especially on World Mental Health Day, to see how invisible employee mental health still is. It's often pushed aside as something to deal with "later." However, the truth is that invisible mental health struggles have a direct impact on a company's visible results...

Not going to happen? Well. It did. Why? Science, that's why. 

I worked on a personal transformation with a serious businessman a few years ago. When we entered the 10th stage of Transformation Twelve, there it was—a vision board. He looked at me and said, "Kati, really? Stop!" After I explained the "why," he has been doing that every year...

It stated something like, "Hello, is this Kati Torim? We need to ask you some questions." 

My stress hormones flew through the roof, and I asked myself, what have I done? What happened? And then he explained...

I am not naming any names because snitches get stitches. Still, now that we all work together in Earth 2.0 (the digital realm!), we should take the real-life values here more seriously. 

So. In business communication, the first rule is that if you initiate a conversation, you must also conclude it, especially when looking for something free from contact. If they say no, please take your time to respond thoughtfully...

"None, at the moment!" is my answer. First, we need to change the email policy and integrate the "Reboot Rights" into the company, and then we will continue with the tools. Let me explain. 

When I go into a growing company, they are already drowning in Asana's endless task reminders, Notion tracking every thought, Superhuman telling them when to respond to emails, and, of course, the productivity manager in khaki-pants-yoga-beads telling everyone how progress on monday.com is...

I recently had a lovely time hosting my former European Innovation Academy Berkeley University student, Aarya Borele, who was in Porto.

We enjoyed tea and had a great (a bit crazy!) conversation, starting with changing the world and finishing with OSHO meditations—much more meaningful than a Zoom call...
