On Remote Collaboration: Making Things Happen Online (Ep. 9)
How do you make great things happen online? Join us for a conversation on remote collaboration and our creative process. Embrace the Unknown is co-created with Mercedes living in Stockholm and Ylva Linn in the Swiss Alps. After 1.5 years of working together, we thought it would be helpful to share our insights on making virtual collaboration fun and fruitful. We discuss tools and mindset, building trust, and how to stay invested in a passion project. Other topics in this episode: - Daring to be vulnerable. - Doing your best while letting go of perfectionism, as in "done is better than perfect." - The value of catching up and chatting about non-work stuff, because a) you can not work all the time and b) the personal connection is what makes teamwork, well, work. - How to give your venture a solid foundation by clarifying expectations, goals, and personal objectives at the beginning. Finally, we are proud to announce that we are now offering support for people and organizations who want to understand, ideate, and test how to build sustainable structures to thrive in remote collaboration.

Taking the Leap: Quitting your Job, Taking a Sabbatical and Changing your Life, One Step at the Time. (Ep. 8)
What happens when, after twenty years working in the same place and living life by the rules, a mother of two decides to take the leap and take a well-deserved year for herself to travel the world? Olga Gonzalez Berchelmann, founder of "Mamas que vuelan" - an online community for mothers - did exactly that. In this episode, she talks about the process of change and how being mindful of her choices and trusting her gut helped her design a life that is more in tune with her inner self. "You start by making small changes and then one thing leads to another. By starting small, you are being gentle with yourself so that your mind does not resist that much. And it makes things easier for the people around you as well." You can find Olga on Instagram at @mamasquevuelan [https://www.instagram.com/mamasquevuelan/] and you can learn about her services here https://www.mamasquevuelan.com/ Follow @EmbraceTheUnknownPodcast [https://www.instagram.com/embracetheunknownpodcast/?hl=en] on Instagram for updates on new episodes and words of wisdom from our awesome guests.
