First Blunchers of 2024 for me

3 min read

Blunchers is the expat networking event in Paphos which I really enjoy. Today was a great day because Jonas the founder of Blunchers was there and he had his birthday. I was also really happy to see a bunch of people I haven’t seen for a while and also some new faces.

So overall I had a great networking day where I was able to push myself again. I realized that I forgot about my goals and what I want to achieve. My own sense of self esteem and self worth got lost within the 3 month of less connective social talks. I still talked a lot in the past 3 month travelling, yet talking to some older people always gives me more motivation and hints to what I want to achieve.

Today I learned a lot about the sense of self esteem. It’s pretty amazing to think about, how much I lack in emotionally, through the way I grew up. Yet in my 20th I am able to learn and grow so much. So in the past years I took a lot of time to learn about myself and how I can improve myself especially communication wise. I loved how my relationship was challenging me so hard that I loved the challenge. And which brought me even more into this relationship.

So to come to the point what I would like to write about is, how I figured out what coaching is. It’s super simple, you just ask the right questions to the right time. Easy. Imma figure this out while I grow older, since it’s gonna be playing a big role in my life. Especially as an entrepreneur and a leader.

So sense of self esteem is a very interesting concept. It allows you to manipulate and to be manipulated. It allows you to bind connections, and to influence the conversation while using it right or wrong. It’s I would say a very important skill to master, if you want to have and keep deep, meaningful and intimate relationships. This can be in all parts of your life, it could be in your business, in your family, in your love life, in your friendships.

This made me even more to think about my future plans and what comes infront, gonna be amazing. I can’t wait to figure more out.

So what are my next steps since I said in the beginning I’ll have a new plan and goal to do the next time.

I will start coaching on adplist to get more experience and to learn more about coaching. I will do the apache kafka certificate (maybe just the learning but lets see what the financial situation will be) I will do a full portfolio project to learn more about the process of how especially I have the ideal idea of a project. I will finish the book “Kommunikationstraining - Vera F. Bikenbihl”

This includes I will start with a business model canvas, follow up with a value proposition canvas and then I will continue with Event Modeling. Once these three steps are done. I will implement it and I might look for some students to help me out with that, who are really curios about how real software developing works. Or I might start looking for them already and do all the processes with them? lets see. I haven’t decided yet.
