If you don’t know HOW to?

Liesbeth van der Linden - 21/08/2024

People will tell you all the time: “I know what I HAVE to do, but I don’t know HOW to”: “I HAVE to grow my business, but I don’t know HOW to”. “I HAVE to get more customers, but I don’t know HOW to”. “I HAVE to find a new job, but I don’t know […]

If life takes over...

Liesbeth van der Linden - 21/08/2024

Sometimes you meet people in your life that tell you a story that keeps lingering in your head for a while. I met Katrina (not her real name) in my skiing class during Chinese New Year holiday and we got to chat about what we do for a living. She mentioned she originally came from […]

How to Win from Imposter Syndrome

Liesbeth van der Linden - 21/08/2024

Most successful leaders will have felt like an imposter at some point. The fear that people will one day find out the truth about you. That the outside world will one day realize that you are a fraud, that you are actually not as good as everyone thinks you are. What you have accomplished was […]

What makes some entrepreneurs more successful in handling the pandemic than others?

Liesbeth van der Linden - 21/08/2024

Recently, I went to a very nice networking dinner. It was a lovely intimate setting: a private dinner with a French chef, fine wines and a relatively small group of about 30 people, mostly entrepreneurs and business owners. Inevitably, at some point the conversation turned to the topic of the pandemic. In Hong Kong, we […]

How a tiny shift in communication can improve the most difficult relationship

Liesbeth van der Linden - 21/08/2024

The way we communicate defines every relationship we have in life. In fact, it determines everything we DO in life. Are you up for a little experiment? I would like you to think of ONE person in your life with whom it is always hard to get along with, that guy or girl with whom […]

Happiness is our baseline

Liesbeth van der Linden - 21/08/2024

When we are born, all we do is breathe and enjoy life. We look at the world with wonder and we are happy. Everything happens naturally, we move, we grow, we develop, we don’t have to ‘think’ about how we do it. In fact, at that stage we are not even aware that we have […]

How to fix something that doesn’t exist.

Liesbeth van der Linden - 21/08/2024

Yesterday I received an email from one of my clients Tom (not his real name), who was excited to share what had happened in a meeting he’d had with his senior manager and how relieved he was that it had gone so well. The day before, I’d had a session with Tom in which we […]

Getting what you want…

Liesbeth van der Linden - 21/08/2024

Every night when I walk my dog, we play his favorite game of ‘fetch’. He’s really good at it. I throw a tennis ball, he takes off with tremendous speed, chases the ball, catches it, brings it back and we do it again. It’s completely conditioned behavior; he knows exactly that I won’t throw the […]

Everything happens for a reason

Liesbeth van der Linden - 21/08/2024

I just got back from Dubai, where I set up a sister company for my practice GLTD in Hong Kong. The agency that helped me with the arrangements was very helpful. Everything went quite smoothly until something strange happened at a meeting my agency contact had arranged for me with a bank manager at a […]

Every business is a relationship business.

Liesbeth van der Linden - 21/08/2024

It is shocking! I just read Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace 2022 report. In 2021, only 21% of the world’s employees were engaged at work. 21%!!! What about the other 79% of employees in your companies? The 79% who are not particularly committed to their job, their team, or the organization. Who are not […]
