What a year it’s been …

2018 was full of ups and downs, challenges and successes, surprises and disappointments, sad and joyous moments, and the occasional overwhelm. I’ve not really had any goals or plans that I stuck to. I let most things evolve spontaneously, went with the flow and listened to my intuition. My highlights from 2018: Seeing my clients…… Continue reading What a year it’s been …

Ear for language – my thoughts on an exciting survey

A few weeks ago, I was asked to comment on the results of an interesting research that was conducted by Vervesearch, an international marketing agency in collaboration with GoCompare.

Running a successful business requires ENORMOUS dedication, perseverance, endurance, motivation, passion, time, energy, responsibility, sacrifice, spontaneity, improvisation … I could go on and on.

What a day in Wimbledon taught to someone who doesn’t know much about tennis

Last Wednesday, we visited Wimbledon to see the British Johanna Konta (born to Hungarian parents!) to play the Puerto Rican Mónica Puig on No.1 Court. This would have been our first ever tennis experience thanks to a dear friend who surprised us with two tickets.
