Want to grow fast in your career? Here’s how: 

Sit beside someone who’s already a few steps ahead.

You don’t grow by chasing people ahead of you.

You grow by sitting close enough to feel their pace.

Growth has a rhythm 

and the right people tune you to it.

When you’re around those who move with purpose,

you start questioning your own excuses.

You start thinking bigger.

You start believing you can.

That’s the silent power of proximity.

No lectures. No pressure. Just presence.

Look at who you spend your time with.

Are they reminding you of your potential…

or your limits?

Choose your circle wisely.

The room you’re in will shape the person you become.

P.S. Curious, is there someone in your circle who quietly pushes you to aim higher?

One of the most underrated career skills: 

being raised right.

It’s what shapes how we show up, long before titles or training ever do.

I admire people who were raised right, 

they move with common sense, speak with respect, and act with heart.

Because you can’t fake that.

It’s not something you learn from a course or a coach

it’s who you are when no one’s watching.

And in leadership, that is what earns trust.

Not the loud achievements, but the quiet consistency.

Here’s how that translates for leaders and professionals at every level:

1. Pause before reacting. 
↳ Control is a power move.

2. Respect the small things. 
↳ Punctuality, tone, and follow-up still matter.

3. Listen more than you speak. 
↳ Wisdom hides in silence.

4. Lead with kindness, not fear. 
↳ Fear fades; respect lasts.

5. Stay humble when you win. 
↳ That’s what keeps doors open.

Because titles come and go,

but being raised right never stops showing.

P.S. Curious, what’s one “raised right” habit you still carry in how you work or lead today? 👇

I notice this quiet pattern in so many capable people.

They downplay what they know.
Second-guess what they feel.
Pause right before they step forward.

Not because they’re unprepared
but because they’ve learned to doubt themselves faster than they doubt the situation.

We don’t submit the proposal.
We don’t send the message.
We don’t apply, publish, pitch, or ask.

And then we call it being realistic.

Most doors don’t close on us
we quietly close them ourselves.

Talent isn’t the problem.
Capability isn’t the problem.

Courage to move before certainty is.

So let this be your reminder today:

Apply anyway.
Share it anyway.
Send it anyway.
Ask anyway.

You are far more capable than the version of you that hesitates.

Don’t disqualify yourself before anyone else does.

PS. If this resonated, repost and follow Sandra Pellumbi for more.

A new year doesn’t erase old battles.
That’s why this line feels even more relevant in 2026:

“Be the person you needed when you were struggling.”

Almost everyone is carrying something you can’t see.

Stress. Self-doubt. Exhaustion. Silence.

Criticism is easy.
Judgment is cheap.
Negativity is contagious.

Most people don’t need another critic in their ear.
They already have one in their own mind.

But encouragement?

Encouragement is leadership.

It shows presence. Strength. Vision.

The ability to see people not just as they are… 

but who they can become.

And when you lead this way, your team doesn’t just work for you,
they grow with you.

Here are 5 simple encouragement habits leaders and founders should practice daily:

1/ Catch people doing something right
We are trained to spot mistakes. Train yourself to notice progress.

2/ Affirm effort, not just outcomes
Effort builds identity. Praise builds confidence.

3/ Ask: “What do you need to succeed?”
Support is more powerful than direction.

4/ Speak life in rooms where others stay silent
If you believe in someone, say it. Out loud. Often.

5/ Lead with curiosity instead of correction
“Help me understand” goes further than “Here’s what you did wrong.”

It doesn’t take much to change someone’s day, sometimes even their direction.

The world has plenty of critics.

Be the one who lifts.

Because someone out there is holding on by a thread today…

and your words might be the reason they don’t let go.

P.S. Who encouraged you when you needed it most?
Tag them. Let them know. 👇

Employees don’t quit jobs. 
They quit the way they’re treated.

Most companies say they value their people.

Yet fail to create cultures where people actually feel valued.

But here's what actually makes people stay:

✅ Paid Well – Compensation reflects their worth
✅ Heard – Their voice actually matters
✅ Respected – Not just for what they do, but who they are
✅ Challenged – Growth is encouraged, not stifled
✅ Trusted – Micromanagement doesn’t exist
✅ Supported – Through wins and setbacks
✅ Recognized – Effort is seen, not overlooked
✅ Included – A real part of the bigger picture
✅ Developed – Opportunities to learn and grow
✅ Appreciated – Beyond performance metrics
✅ Empowered – Given autonomy, not just tasks
✅ Promoted – Hard work leads somewhere

Remember:
Retention isn't a strategy. 
It's an outcome of how you treat people every day.

Start by asking your team: 
"What makes you feel truly valued here?"

People don’t quit jobs, they quit bad leadership.

When an employee hands in their notice, it can feel like a done deal.

But the truth is, the decision to leave usually builds over time.

Losing one can signal others might follow.

Retaining talent isn’t just about hiring, it’s about understanding why people leave and addressing it before it’s too late.

A great company isn’t built on perks but on the:

- right culture 
- values
- leadership.

Here are the top reasons people leave:

1. Toxic company culture
2. Bad management and leadership
3. Lack of growth and progression
4. The work is not meaningful
5. Lack of recognition and appreciation
6. No autonomy or trust
7. Being micromanaged
8. Unrealistic goals and expectations
9. Zero work-life balance
10. The role is too stressful
11. Terrible communication
12. Perceived lower pay
13. Job insecurity
14. Losing valuable time to the commute
15. The role isn't challenging and has become boring

Happy employees are 87% less likely to quit.

Fix this,

Or the competition will.

P.S. What do you think, are these the reasons you’ve seen people leave? Let’s discuss this in the comments!

The things that scare you the most are usually the things that change you the most.

We often think fear shows up when something is wrong.

But for leaders, fear usually appears when something meaningful is on the line.

Not danger — growth.

There’s a moment you might recognize:
You’re standing on the edge of a bigger decision… and suddenly everything in you feels loud.

“What if I mess this up?”
“What will people think?”
“What if I’m not ready?”

It’s not incompetence.
It’s not weakness.
It’s the human side of stepping into something unfamiliar.

And yes, mistakes will happen.

People may have opinions.

Your first attempt might not look perfect.

But the truth:
If it didn’t matter, you wouldn’t feel anything at all.

Indifference shows up when something isn’t aligned with your direction.

Fear shows up when something is.

That tension you feel?
It’s the stretch of stepping into a version of yourself you haven’t met yet.

Fear isn’t the enemy.
Avoidance is.

Most of what we fear isn’t the outcome, it’s the emotional discomfort surrounding it:

Embarrassment.
Rejection.
Not being understood.
Being seen trying.

But growth requires being seen trying.

If something in your life or business is scaring you right now, don’t run from it.

Lean in.
Get curious.
Move forward quietly if you have to.

Because the fear you feel today might be the evidence that you're finally doing something that matters.

7 things to STOP saying in job interviews
(and what to say instead)

You might be the RIGHT fit for the role

…but the wrong words can make you sound like the WRONG person.

Interviews aren’t just about selling your experience.

They’re about signaling how you think, how you work, and how you’ll lead.

And one offhand sentence can break that signal.

So if you’re preparing for your next career move, here’s something worth saving:

🧠 7 interview phrases to leave behind (and what to say instead):

1. Don’t Say:
“I’m a perfectionist.”
❌ Sounds cliché and signals inefficiency.

👉 Say Instead:
“I care deeply about the quality of my work but I’ve learned how to balance.”
✔ Reflects maturity and progress over time.

2. Don’t Say:
“I left because my manager was terrible.”
❌ Sounds bitter and unprofessional.

👉 Say Instead:
“I was looking for a role where I could grow in a more collaborative and supportive environment.”
✔ Focuses on values and forward momentum.

3. Don’t Say:
“I don’t have experience in that, sorry.”
❌ Shuts down opportunity and potential.

👉 Say Instead:
“While I haven’t done that yet, I’ve tackled similar challenges—and I’m confident I can get up to speed quickly.”
✔ Shows adaptability and problem-solving ability.

4. Don’t Say:
“I don’t have weaknesses.”
❌ Comes off as lacking self-awareness.

👉 Say Instead:
“I used to struggle with [X], but I’ve learned to manage it through [Y]—it’s a work in progress, and I’m committed to growing.”
✔ Highlights growth mindset and ownership.

5. Don’t Say:
“I was let go from my last role.”
❌ Can create assumptions without context.

👉 Say Instead:
“My last role ended unexpectedly, but I’ve used that time to reflect and strengthen my skills in [X].”
✔ Reframes the narrative with purpose.

6. Don’t Say:
“I don’t have any questions.”
❌ Missed chance to show interest.

👉 Say Instead:
“What does success look like in this role over the first 6 months?”
✔ Demonstrates engagement and strategic thinking.

7. Don’t Say:
“I’m just lucky to be here.”
❌ Undermines your value.

👉 Say Instead:
“I’m grateful for the opportunity and confident I can bring value to your team.”
✔ Shows humility and confidence.

Whether you’re interviewing across the table or across time zones, these language shifts matter.

P.S. Which of these have you heard before or accidentally said yourself?

Most people think growth looks loud. 

Fast. Visible. Impressive.

It doesn’t.

Real growth is quiet work you do when no one’s watching:

- Taking care of your health so you don’t burn out later
- Practicing your craft when no one’s watching
- Catching your thoughts before they run the show
- Letting your values guide decisions, not pressure
- Staying curious instead of stuck
- Showing up on the days motivation doesn’t

This is the work that doesn’t expire.

The kind no title, algorithm, or circumstance can take from you.

And every time you slow down, reset, and keep moving forward, you’re reinforcing one simple truth:

You are worth the effort.

This is the work no one applauds but it changes everything.

♻️ Repost to remind someone.
➕ Follow Sandra Pellumbi for impactful insights on growth and leadership.

No one warns you about the emotional cost of growth:

You expect the hardest part to be the discipline or the long hours.

But the real pain comes when your evolution makes other people uncomfortable.

When you start evolving, it triggers things in others:

• Some feel left behind
• Some feel insecure
• Some fear losing access to the version of you they depended on
• Some project their limitations onto your dreams

It’s not personal.
It’s human nature.

But here’s what is personal:

Protecting your peace.
Protecting your vision.
Protecting the person you’re becoming.

Here are five grounding reminders for anyone in a growth season:

1/ Pay attention to the people who clap when it costs them nothing
Those are your people.
The rest will reveal themselves.

2/ Growth doesn’t need defending
You don’t have to convince anyone why you're becoming more.
Your life will speak for you.

3/ Keep proof of your progress
The messages, the small wins, the little shifts —
they’re evidence that you’re moving forward even when it feels slow.

4/ Stay close to people who stretch your thinking
People who believe in your potential more than your past.
People who see possibility where others see limits.

5/ Trust your own pace
Some seasons feel lonely.
Some feel misunderstood.
But your intuition knows what’s best for you long before the world does.

If you’re growing, keep going.

If you’re changing, don’t stop.

If you’re rising, don’t shrink.

The right people won’t be intimidated by your expansion

they’ll be inspired by it.

You’ll know who the real leaders are...

when things get hard.

Because anyone can delegate.

Not everyone will defend.

True leadership shows up when:

- Credit is being handed out.
- Blame is flying around.
- Burnout is creeping in.
- Politics get loud.
- Recognition gets quiet.

Here’s what real leaders do when it matters:

1️⃣ They stand between their team and the storm.
→ Not because it’s easy but because that’s what leadership requires.

2️⃣ They protect energy, not just output.
→ Healthy teams don’t just perform, they last.

3️⃣ They advocate when it’s inconvenient.
→ It’s not about being liked. It’s about being right by your people.

4️⃣ They fight for fairness, not favors.
→ Because fair pay, fair credit, and fair workloads build trust.

5️⃣ They make it safe to speak up.
→ Courage at the top creates permission below.

6️⃣ They show what loyalty looks like.
→ The kind that isn’t performative, but proven.

Managers tell people what to do.

Leaders show people what they’re worth.

Because when leaders fight for their team, 

the team fights for the mission.

Do you agree?

P.S. Have you ever had a leader like that?

Controlling your emotions is a superpower, especially at work.

Disrespect doesn’t always show up as shouting.

Sometimes it’s subtle.

A dismissive comment. 
A passive-aggressive tone.

And in that moment, you either react emotionally, or respond like a leader.

Here are 10 go-to phrases to help you hold your ground without losing your cool:

❌ “Whatever.”
✅ “Let’s keep this professional. I want this to be a productive conversation.”

❌ “You always interrupt me.”
✅ “I’d like to finish my thought before we move on.”

❌ “You clearly don’t respect me.”
✅ “I value respectful dialogue. Can we start again?”

❌ “Wow, that was rude.”
✅ “I’d appreciate a more respectful tone so we can move forward productively.”

❌ “You never listen.”
✅ “Let’s reset. I’m here to collaborate, not to compete.”

❌ “You’re being impossible.”
✅ “I’m open to different perspectives, but mutual respect is non-negotiable.”

❌ “That’s not true at all.”
✅ “I don’t think that assumption is fair. Let me clarify.”

❌ “Are you serious right now?”
✅ “Let’s stay focused on the facts so we can move forward productively.”

❌ “If you’ve got a problem, say it.”
✅ “If there’s a concern, I’m happy to address it directly and respectfully.”

❌ “I’m done with this.”
✅ “Let’s take a moment and revisit this when we’re both in a better headspace.”

Remember:
You can’t control how others speak to you

but you can control how you respond.

Agree?

I need to tell you about something that's changing how people build software!

Seven months ago, most non-technical founders had two options: 

spend months learning to code or 
spend thousands hiring developers.

Today? There's a third option that's working.

Emergent just raised $70M from Khosla Ventures and SoftBank (after Google's AI Futures Fund backed them early). But here's what matters more than the funding: 

they've hit 5M+ builders and $50M ARR.

Why does this matter to you?

Because real people are building real businesses:

A non-coder built an AI skills marketplace in two weekends. Someone else built a construction platform in 80 hours and raised $150K. The UK's largest energy company saved £100K in development costs building a production app in two days.

This isn't about prototypes anymore. It's about production-ready software you can actually launch and scale. You're not building a proof of concept that you'll need to recreate later. 

You're building the actual product. 

The one you can launch to real users today, iterate on tomorrow, and scale next month when things take off. No rebuild required. No "we'll fix the infrastructure later." 

Just working software that's ready for the real world.

If you've been wanting to build something but felt blocked by the technical side, this might be your moment.

Try it. See what you can create.

#emergent #emergentai

Most people don’t learn these until they’re already burned out, passed over, or stuck.

Don’t let that be you.
 
 One day you’ll look around and realize…

You gave everything to a role that didn’t see you.

Stayed loyal to a company that moved on without you.

Waited for growth that never came because you never asked.

That moment?

It’s brutal.

But it’s also the beginning of something better

if you’re willing to learn the hard truths now.

Here they are:

10 Brutal Career Truths Most People Learn Too Late

(Read this before it’s too late for you too)

1/ You can be great at your job… and still be replaceable.
→ Security doesn’t come from being needed. It comes from making an impact they won’t forget.

2/ No one’s coming to rescue your career.
→ It’s on you. Want more? Ask. Build. Raise your hand.
Silence doesn’t get promotions.

3/ Being quiet about your efforts is not humility, it’s career-limiting.
→ Speak up. Share your wins. Closed mouths don’t get recognized.

4/ That job title you love? Temporary.
→ Build your value on skills, not labels. Roles change. What you’ve learned lasts.

5/ Burnout doesn’t make you stronger. It makes you silent.
→ Protect your energy like your future depends on it. Because it does.

6/ Growth starts where comfort ends.
→ If it doesn’t stretch you, it won’t level you up.

7/ Companies don’t love you. They love margins.
→ Don’t wait to be taken care of. Take care of yourself.

8/ Even great leaders mess up.
→ Don’t be afraid to (respectfully) challenge up. Real leadership welcomes it.

9/ Relationships open more doors than résumés.
→ People work with people they know, trust, and remember. Show up.

10/ Feedback isn’t an attack, it’s a tool.
→ Growth lives in the uncomfortable moments. Don’t dodge them.

Don't wait to learn these the hard way.

Your career is happening now.

Your perspective shapes everything

What’s ahead is opportunity
What’s behind is experience

Every step forward
is possibility.

Every step behind
taught you something you couldn’t learn any other way.

Nothing was wasted.
Nothing was random.

The moments that stretched you
prepared you.

The pauses you questioned
protected you.

If you keep looking back to measure regret,
you’ll miss what’s opening in front of you.

Wise leaders don’t erase the past.

They extract the lesson
and keep walking.

Because growth isn’t about starting over.

It’s about seeing forward clearly
while standing on everything you’ve learned.

5 powerful reminders for founders, leaders, and professionals:

1/ Speed without clarity is just noise
Direction is the real advantage.

2/ Your standards shape your results
Raise them early.

3/ Energy is a strategy, not a feeling
Protect it intentionally.

4/ Boring consistency beats flashy motivation
Every single time.

5/ Build alignment before ambition
Pressure fades. Structure lasts.

This is where strong years are built.
Quietly.
Intentionally.

If your week keeps disappearing faster than you can plan it, this one’s for you.

You were in meetings, replying to messages, juggling ten things at once

yet somehow, the needle didn’t move.

That’s not a focus problem. It’s a leak problem.

Time doesn’t vanish, it seeps out through tiny cracks.

Here are 10 Time Traps Quietly Draining Your Week (and how to stop them):

1️⃣ Multitasking 
— Feels productive but actually divides your focus and doubles your mistakes.

2️⃣ Meetings With No Agenda 
— The fastest way to waste an hour without realizing it.

3️⃣ Constant Context Switching 
— Every “quick switch” between tasks costs your brain real energy.

4️⃣ Over-Checking Email & Slack
— You don’t need to be always on to be effective.

5️⃣ Reactive Mornings
— If you start in reaction mode, your day never really becomes yours.

6️⃣ Unclear Priorities
— When everything matters equally, nothing truly moves forward.

7️⃣ Perfectionism
— “One more tweak” often hides fear, not excellence.

8️⃣ Weak Boundaries
— Every “yes” that doesn’t align with your goals is a “no” to your best work.

9️⃣ No Delegation System
— If everything still depends on you, you’re not leading you’re managing chaos.

🔟 Ignoring Energy Peaks
— Working hard at the wrong time still leads to burnout.

You can’t outwork a broken system.

But you can design one that protects your attention.

P.S. Which of these time traps do you catch yourself falling into most often?

If you start 2026 the same way you ended 2025, overwhelmed and overcapacity, nothing will change.

It’s not the big stuff that burns you out.

It’s doing everything, and you’re overcapacity.

Studies show leaders spend 40% of their time on tasks that drain their energy and distract from growth.
 
And when that happens, here’s what quietly creeps in:

👉 Missed opportunities
👉 Decision fatigue
👉 Loss of clarity
👉 Burnout that doesn’t always look like burnout

So I put together this cheat sheet:

8 clear signs you’re overdue for an Executive Assistant.

Not to make life easier (though it will)…

But to finally make your role sustainable.

Let’s break them down:

1️⃣ 40% of Your Time Is on Low-Leverage Work
↳ McKinsey confirms it, you’re doing what others could handle, at the cost of your strategic thinking.

2️⃣ Your Calendar Looks Like a Game of Tetris
↳ Zero white space. Zero recovery time. Just back-to-back meetings.

3️⃣ Burnout Is Creeping In
↳ It doesn’t start with collapse, it starts with mental fog, exhaustion, and emotional flatlining.

4️⃣ Decision Fatigue Is Real
↳ You’re stalling on simple choices because your brain is overclocked. Your team feels it too.

5️⃣ Delegation Feels Risky
↳ “If no one else can do this right” is your red flag. A great EA ends that loop.

6️⃣ You Work Late Just to Catch Up
↳ Nights blur into admin hours. The rest you need keeps getting pushed.

7️⃣ You Delay High-Impact Projects
↳ Big ideas stay parked in your notes. Not because they’re bad but because you’re buried.

8️⃣ You’ve Said: “I Just Need a Clone”
↳ That’s your subconscious asking for help. But you don’t need a copy, you need a force multiplier.

Leadership isn’t about doing more

it’s about knowing what to let go of.
 
A great assistant doesn’t just manage your calendar.

They protect your mind, your mission, and your margin.

P.S. Which of these signs hit you the hardest?

Your PowerPoint didn’t need another meeting. It needed a voice.

I’m using Synthesia's free PowerPoint-to-video feature to turn my decks into clear, on-demand walkthroughs, complete with realistic AI presenters.

It’s super simple. You just upload a PPT and get a video.

→ your design stays intact but editable
→ speaker notes become AI voiceovers
→ AI presenters bring the message to life
→ videos can be translated into 140+ languages

For remote leaders, this is real leverage.

One deck becomes a video that explains things the same way, every time — whether it’s for clients, teams, or onboarding.

This is how I run Vera Outsourcing:

design clarity once, then let systems carry it forward.

Stop walking people through the same slides week after week.

Build systems that speak for you.

I need to say this out loud because too many founders are quietly stuck here.

Your business is growing

But you are more tired than ever

Every win comes with more responsibility

More decisions
More things that break when you step away

And even on days you are not working
Your mind never really shuts off

That is not a motivation problem
That is a systems problem

For a long time I thought freedom would come later

After scaling
After hiring
After things magically felt lighter

They did not

So I built structure before burnout forced it

Clear ownership
Systems that do not depend on my constant presence

✅ How to free 5–10 hours a week without working more
✅ How to delegate, automate, and build systems that actually stick
✅ The exact rhythm I use to keep operations smooth (even on days I don’t work)

This playbook is the foundation of my entire Self Running Business System

And right now it is FREE.

Comment "PLAYBOOK" and I will send it to you personally

If 2025 taught you anything

Let 2026 be the year your business supports your life instead of consuming it.

📌 P.S. This playbook was built together with Entrepedia.co custom digital product service.
They helped turn my frameworks into something clear structured and scalable
If you want a digital product built around your own expertise their link is in the comments.
