Different things give us joy.

What gives me joy? Start-up and Entrepreneur Coaching is one of the things that gives me joy.

Last night two quick serendipitous incidents occurred. The first was that a new to Switzerland friend had a Nikon bag. The Second was seeing a long term friend of my daughter’s who is visiting for the holidays.

The Nikon bag is a successful Swiss start-up/entrepreneurial venture that is sustainable and fair AND for every product bought, the company plants a tree. Look them up. This reminder of a successful endeavor gave me joy. Why, because every successful start-up means local people get jobs and the local economy is boosted.

Seeing my daughter’s friend gave me joy because seeing her is wonderful. - AND she is in an entrepreneurial start-up in the Washington D.C. area that is doing very well and helps people within the health industry, and venially will (hopefully) help the U.S. health system. This is big. And it gives me joy to see young people helping to “save the world”. The next generation is stepping up and doing their part.

I also follow and am a sometimes coach to BOXS (https://www.boxs.swiss/en_GB/ ) and UpBoards (https://www.upboards.ch/en_US/ )- seeing the companies grow and succeed is very heart warming because of my help at the C-level, AND because of what the companies do.

One more thing that is start-up coaching relevant and very joyful for me is a former client who is continuing on the road and bringing new products to the local area that are sustainable. Olivier Pirlot has a new company: http://www.cleantwice.ch - Check it out!

I love being a coach to such companies and leaders.

There are many other things that give me joy.

What gives you joy? Do more of it!!!

All the best for 2022,
