I want to start by telling you something about permission. For years, I believed permission came from the outside - from achievements, from degrees, from other people's approval. I was a girl who learned to be invisible while trying to be extraordinary. I thought if I just achieved enough, climbed high enough, I'd finally have permission to take up space. But then something happened that changed everything. A breakup. A song. A city on the other side of the world. And I realized I'd been asking the wrong question my entire life. What if permission was never something to be earned? What if it was something I had to give myself? This is the story of how I learned that. And how a carousel taught me what I'd been missing the whole time.

If I die tomorrow what would be the one thing I want my children to remember about me?

We’re taught to be logical. To think and operate in a linear fashion and being goal oriented. But what if that’s not how the world actually works, or ever did? What if we’re only using one part of ourselves, and in the process we’ve lost a big part of what it means to be human? (Apologies had no time to watch it back so had to shoot it and just post! 🙏)

Two great SKOOLx Delivery Practice sessions full of powerful talks, helpful feedback, and good vibes! Congrats to @Wolfram Grohnert @Emma Fábryová @Sungsoo Choi @Björn Hagemann @Doa Kaptan @Vernon Foster @Éva Raposa for sharing their talks with us. Incredible variety in the delivery styles, topics, and experiences shared, yet all touched on themes that I felt were so relatable. It really shows how, at the end of the day, we're not all that different. Voting is open until 11:59pm Monday CET (the calendar event needs to add one more day). Click here to share your vote, and share this link with your contacts! Good luck to everyone! You're already winners in my eyes 😉 (corny, but true)!

Yesterday I had a long day in the car, traveling from the Netherlands to Norway for a training camp. 🚗🇳🇴 I challenged myself to watch every single signature talk (all 23😳), and post a comment. 💻 And I succeeded in that! ✅ I've seen a lot, and I'm really proud of all the time and energy put into SKOOLx from everyone. I've seen great things! Energy, calmness, confidence, great communication skills and much more... 😃👊 I would like to encourage everyone to comment on their 5 personal favourites. And maybe that's me...😉 👉 https://forms.gle/bbqBf65BFVQaqvmP7 👈 Besides that I want to compliment @Ben Sherry and @Lucas Reuterstig for organising this amazing SKOOLx competition. 👌 @Dani Rosenblad James @Björn Hagemann @Emma Fábryová bryová @Wolfram Grohnert nert @Doa Kaptan n @Rodrigo Rios @Vernon Foster r @Kevin Pagan n Pagan @Sungsoo Choi oo Choi @Fredrik Lyngmark @John Doorbar oorbar @Subhan Nair @Éva Raposa sa @Janet Little @Sam Dunlop @Semih Yalap lap @Amir Salemi @Danny Hansen sen @Harrison Angwin @Tony Mulligan @Lindsay Bruce @Craig Gauvreau uvreau @Jutta Wohlrab Wohlrab @Jim Jenkins nkins @Ayu Masruroh ruroh @Justin Yip @Lucas Reuterstig rstig @Ben Sherry erry
