It was during the summer of 2018, my partner in crime Laura Eylen has finished another education and was doing talent researches with people, professionals and whomever was interested in.
It was a warm summer evening, we were sitting at the terrace of our apartment in Hapimag resort in Albufeira, she took all the passions and time to talk to me and tried to find out what was my talent, I am not the easiest person to talk me through it, as I don't have passions to wait , at least then I didn't have.
Finally she found out that my talent was / is, that "extra added value", above the expectations of someone from me, employer, person, colleague etc . So , putting some extra value to it, more than I suppose to.
Who wouldn't like to hear that? But i don't like the arrogance and I always believed that working hard and doing your very very best is the only way to get things done and key to succes, so I wasn't keen to hear something that positive over myself...
Which kept me thinking and I thought about my "general life & carrier" and trust me , I wasn't always an added value to everything, but I did always with the best intentions to change peoples views, show them what they really can, give them trust, which always results to personal growth, that always results to make companies better too. So that was indeed my talent!
So when I have started with my own company a year ago now, I named it after my "talent" and I started with My Added Value.
In this one year, I have worked and work with fantastic companies, people, create new products, change the older ones, try to help leaders, give hospitality and other trainings, build new hotels, and teach whatever I might learned in the last 25 years to brilliant students, created our own education program Hands-up Futureproof Leadership, got educated and still go for more learnings for example Spanish lessons and just try to add value to your and my life. I am grateful for you, for your believe in me. I am happy and thankful for the risks that I have taken. Up to next steps. Much much appreciated.
