Life is too short to settle for just one label!

My mom asked me a rather surprising question last week: "Have you become a journalist now?" It caught me off guard because we have never really discussed my activities outside of recruitment at Brodard Executive Search .
She had vaguely seen the video with Mr. Guy Parmelin (Swiss politician, who served as president of Switzerland in 2021). Her friends had shared a few articles about me, but that's just how she is, the less said, the better.
Anyway, she saw the "Talk to Me You are Fabulous" video with Christian Constantin (second épisode in French: https://www.letemps.ch/videos/contenu-partenaire/christian-constantin-un-entrepreneur-dans-l-ame) and started to be super curious.. But what exactly do you do for work? Are you not recruiting anymore? Are you a journalist now?
I replied with a big smile that I am far from being a journalist, although it was one of my dream jobs as little girl. I've reassured her that my recruitment company was doing well, but I was exploring different adventures and projects with my other company BRODIANCE , and it was incredibly exciting and fun!
I am aware that for some people, it's difficult to understand what I do and to put me in a "BOX." But that's the beauty of being an entrepreneur and the time we live in, isn't it? Being able to do a variety of different things and finding meaning in what we do.
When I talk to my friends, they all ask me where I get the energy to juggle everything. Well, let me tell you that as long as I'm having fun, I'm healthy and I'm learning, I will continue to diversify my activities. That's when I get even more energy and creativity, so believe me I won't stop.
In a world where specialisation is often preferred, where we are asked to choose just one path, I refuse to conform. I truly believe that for some of us, our fulfilment lies in our ability to explore multiple passions, nurture different facets, and find a harmonious balance among them.
So, yes, I am a HeadHunter, but I am so much more than that. I am also a passionate individual, a connector, an explorer of new horizons, a creator of opportunities. I refuse to be confined to a single box. I prefer to see myself as a collection of experiences, different skills an an explosion of curiosity.
And you know what? I feel alive, inspired, and ready to take on any challenge that comes my way.
So, my fellow adventurers let me ask you this two questions:
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this matter! Life is short, let's have fun -)).

1 年Your question goes beyond entrepreneurship. Having a diversified curriculum is too often considered as frightening for investors, business partners, and employers, while—on the contrary—it's a huge way to boost your skills. You often find yourself taming several interests you developed to provide your audience with a more curated/understandable content.
