This week, I swapped my keyboard for a paint roller and got hands-on helping friends renovate their house! It felt amazing to see real-world progress amidst my usual online activities. That's why I love #litterpicking too: seeing instant impact right before my eyes is

🌍 I often feel the urge to do even more for a healthier planet. But like everyone of us, my time is limited to 24 hours a day. That’s why I’m so glad I can also support others who are creating real, tangible impact. One project I’m happy to have supported is this powerful

Not long ago, I was walking through the Swiss countryside with a lovely group of people when we met a woman who deeply impressed me. For several years now, she’s been walking through the carrot fields just before harvest – not to gather vegetables, but to rescue life. 🥕✨ She

Working in cybersecurity and sustainability is deeply meaningful to me, but also often emotionally heavy due to constant exposure to crises. That’s why I recently did a course to support my mental health. And it helped me in more ways than I expected. One part of the course

Today, I did an experiment. I wasn't sure whether it was a great idea or completely nuts. 🤔 So I tried it, and it turned out to be brilliant! ✨ I took two chairs and a sign to the heart of the city. The sign read, "Do you wish someone would just listen to you? Take a seat.

💻 Speaking online, to me a blessing and a curse at the same time. ⏱️ Yes, it's wonderfully efficient with no travel and no lost time. But I'm honest: to me a lot gets lost when I'm not in the same room. That natural human connection, the little cues like a nod, a smile, and eye

I’ll admit it: every now and then, I Google my name to see what pops up. (You do it too, right? Be honest 😉) That is why a while ago, I noticed something unexpected: Google labels me as Internet Personality! ✨ At first, I had no idea what that means. But thanks to Google's AI,

💡 Many of us use AI every day, I do too. I think it's an incredible technology that makes my life easier in many ways. But here’s something we often forget: if AI isn’t secure, we can get into real trouble. 🤖 Whether you're an individual or a company, securing AI systems is no

🚲 Last Sunday was unforgettable and full of nature, connection, and discovery! I went on a day trip, which turned into a truly meaningful experience. ☀️ I cycled for about an hour to reach a nearby town, where I started a 16 km walk through beautiful nature. Birds singing,

🤖 I'm writing a book about how #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI) can be used for good. I just finished a chapter on a life-saving application: preventing road accidents. 🆘 Each year, around 1.35 million people lose their lives in traffic accidents, and over 50 million are injured,
