It was just a gradual development over the years. Last year was "All You Need Is Love." This year it's "Give Peace a Chance." Remember love. If you want to get peace, you can get it as soon as you like if we all pull together.

I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long.
The principal element of Suprematism in painting, as in architecture, is its liberation from all social or materialist tendencies. Through Suprematism, art comes into its pure and unpolluted form.

We were just building stuff 'cause we thought it was cool. I do remember having these specific conversations with my friends where we thought, you know, someone is gonna build this. Someone is gonna build something that makes it so that people can stay connected with their friends and their family.

The question I leave the module with is, now that I have built the framework, do I actually have the discipline to live it? That is the real test, I think.
Working through the 10-step framework helped me connect my professional ambitions with my personal values in a way I had not done before. What surprised me most was that my personal goal recharging intentionally turned out to be just as important as my professional goal and that they are not separate.
Wissal KARABILA
Entrepreneur in Real Estate
Making this Personal Brand Action Plan was not easy for me in the beginning because I had many ideas in my head and I did not know how to connect them together.
I also did not think that making goals would be so difficult. At first I thought it was easy to just write goals down, but during the practice I noticed that it is actually hard to know what you really want and why it is important for you. When I started writing everything on paper and using the steps, I slowly understood better what is important for me and what kind of person I want to become in the future. This framework practice made me think more deeply about myself and not only about school or work. Alexandra also helped me a lot during this process by asking questions and helping me search for the real core behind my ideas and meanings. Because of that, I could reflect more honestly and think deeper.
Ugonna OBI
Physiotherapist
Through working on goal setting, I experienced that building a professional presence requires consistency more than motivation.
One of the main obstacles was finding time and ideas to create meaningful, evidence-based content alongside academic and practical commitments. I also noticed occasional hesitation around sharing work publicly, which made me reflect on confidence and perceived judgement from others. An important insight was that reflection becomes deeper when it is shared, as engaging with peers helps challenge my thinking and exposes gaps in my understanding. I gained a clearer perspective that professional identity is developed gradually through repeated actions rather than a single effort or outcome. This process raised questions for me about how to balance authenticity with professionalism online, and how to ensure that my content remains clinically accurate while still being engaging and accessible.

This exercise was sometimes challenging because it required me to compare my own self-image with how others truly see me, which is not always easy to accept. One obstacle was realizing that my direct communication style, while positive, can also be perceived as stubborn or intense. A key insight is that others see more positive and social qualities in me than I expected, such as being caring, supportive, and fun, which changed my perspective on how I come across. It also made me question how I can better balance honesty with empathy and whether I should show more of my vulnerable side to others. Overall, it gave me a clearer and more realistic understanding of myself and areas for growth.

Personal Brand Strategy Framework Workshop The module has been very helpful for me to give me time to actually be creative and self reflect which has not been the case for a long time. It also gives me a solid overview of my challenges and new perspective in terms of personal branding and how I can connect with more people.
Noah DUYNSTEE

Entrepreneurial Personal Brand The biggest obstacle I experienced was that personal branding felt unnatural, deliberately thinking about how to present yourself does not come instinctively. However, this discomfort gave me a valuable insight: self-knowledge is a fundamental skill for any entrepreneur, especially in a trust driven industry like real estate and private equity. This module made me realize that building a personal brand is not something that happens automatically, but requires active reflection.

Playful Strategy Session
Alexandra, good evening! I’m sharing my feedback. This morning, I was reflecting on my goals. And I realized that once I had written them down, I wanted to discuss them with someone. Am I heading in the right direction? Have I considered everything? But there was no one to talk to. A few hours later, we had our session. I was surprised by the game format, even intrigued. And then, a true miracle happened… You asked me to formulate a question for us to work on. And the one I had been thinking about all morning turned out to be a perfect fit. In the end, I received much more than I expected. Far more. Thanks to you, I was able to examine my question from different angles while also gaining a broader perspective. And the questions that surfaced throughout the game… It was as if every insight hit the mark perfectly! My hidden thoughts became clear and tangible. I found all the answers I was looking for and outlined a plan of action.

Individual Strategy Session
I really enjoyed playing with you because, well, first of all, you don’t tease or mock—you're different. And you work with difficult clients like me. You have great ideas. First, I really enjoyed how you facilitated the game—how you wrote, how you brought in your own cards. They’re amazing and so interesting. I especially loved the one with the demon. You really helped me see things more clearly. You connected everything together in a way that made sense—my inner motivation, what truly drives me, and how I’ll be offering this connection to others. Because otherwise, if there’s a disconnect, you just won’t keep doing it for long. You highlighted some amazing insights for me: pricing, game-building framework, etc. I also realized something important: my ability to transfer one template into another has started to slip for some reason.

Archetypes in Personal Branding
The archetypes and their meanings were interesting to me, how the course felt like you were on a boat with many waves. At first you start with no knowledge, and you are lost, then with a bit of explanation, things get clear, but with every other lesson it was getting clearer and clearer what we need to do. Made me anxious, put me outside my comfort zone, but that was interesting and i am happy with the outcome
Module "12 Superpowers for Personal Branding"
I think I liked In depth reflection the most. The moment when you realized that all the choices I made were connected to each other and to an archetype as well.

Main insights are about personal development and what I stand for.
I thought the module was well put together. It was information on one side and assignments on the other and there was a nice balance with that. I also found Aleksandra a very nice instructor-facilitator and nice to talk to. Because of her, I was at ease during the final interview. It was another perspective on personal brand: a new view on how to present yourself to professional connections and how to make yourself recognizable.
