Newsletter:
Corporate Survival Guide for Misfits

Most corporate advice is written for people who already fit the system.
This newsletter is for the rest of us.

​

In Corporate Survival Guide for Misfits, I explore the hidden rules of corporate life, leadership, and modern work for people who don’t quite fit the mold.

​

Essays on leading without burning out, asking better questions, and building a career that doesn’t cost you yourself.

Resources, hacks and tools for corporate life

Let's be honest, corporate life is not easy. While old ways of doing business persists, new ways of working are becoming the norm and many of us, Millennials and Gen Zs, struggle to find our way in corporate life while being our authentic self at work. I have spent the last 10 years learning how to be me, how to live with my autism, when to mask, when to unmask, and how to be a leader as a queer millennial expat leader in a multinational company. I hope these resources can help others learn and grow at an accelerated pace and make day-to-day life at work easier.
