“Tragen Sie Unterwäsche?”
Hannah – Dezember 2018 Am letzten Freitag, 30.11.2018, war ich beim ersten Selbstständigentag, den Freeliance organisiert hat. Olla sagte mir, dass ich doch unbedingt ein Thema für ein Barcamp vorschlagen sollte für all die anwesenden Frauen. Ich nannte es „Female Empowerment ohne Klischees – die besonderen Herausforderungen für Frauen und mögliche Lösungen.“ Worauf sind wir […]
Pursuing your career intuition, not a vision
Sometimes I feel like I am simultaneously the most confident and the most insecure person on the planet. I very much know myself and what I enjoy, and what works for me as an employee and student. But what I don’t know is what the expectations really are for me at this time. I can raise […]

Personal branding: what it is and how to do it
What is a personal brand? Personally, I had no clue. The most straightforward definition I’ve gotten is that it’s the way you personify your goals and values. Which seems simple enough in theory, but in execution, I have no idea where to start. So, I attended three different talks on branding, both personal and corporate, by attending Bjorn Welter’s talk […]
7 lessons I learned after starting a new career path
A few years ago I had a choice to make. To continue with the career path I started at the very beginning of my professional life in my twenties, or to change the direction and start my own dream project. I picked the second option. I used to be a journalist, worked my way from […]
Finding my value as a female freelancer
“So, what’s your rate?” A question that comes up at the end of any successful first meeting with a new client. And it’s a question that I’ve cringed at and felt uncomfortable with for a long time. It’s a loaded question, which asks, “how […]
