Anastasiia Isakii on continuously challenging yourself
7/23/2020
One thing Anastasiia Isakii has learned from working and living around the world? The need to keep an open mind and never stop learning. She found this mindset to be especially embraced in Shanghai, where she currently lives, and it is also what lead her to co-found LifeSkills4Me, a community that aims to promote personal growth on a daily basis. In this BrainyHeart episode, listen in on the conversation I had with Anastasiia in the summer of 2019 in Shanghai on how China has shaped her personal and professional growth and mindset.
Our cognitive bias as and about women
7/9/2020
It’s out to judge and compare others, to only look at the facts and figures and not the person behind them. We need to free ourselves from our cognitive bias and rely more on our EQ to create a more equal working world. Especially when it comes to gender equality. Both women and men still have a cognitive bias around which qualities are associated with which gender, and at its extreme, this leads to sexual harassment. In this BrainyHeart episode, I’m taking a look at our cognitive bias as and about women and what we need to do to change them.
How to communicate your value
6/25/2020
We’ve made the big mistake of talking about our work successes in a non-emotional way. Yet talking about the outcome of something is only a small part of the whole story.

Whether you’re looking for a job, a current employee, or a leader, this BrainyHeart episode has tips for you on how to communicate your value better.

Be the CEO of your mind
2/27/2020
The prefrontal cortex of our brain is called the CEO of the mind by neuroscientists. Why? Because executive decisions are made here. To reach a decision though, your brain goes through a lot of mental ping pong - which only gets faster the more stressed you are. That’s why in today’s episode of BrainyHeart, I’m tackling how you can back in control and truly be the CEO of your mind.
