Being a solopreneur can feel quite lonely. So can being a mother, a product person, a highly-sensitive individual… I made it my mission to bridge the gap between my professional and my private life to show up as authentically and whole-heartedly as I can, inviting others to connect with me from human to human. In this section you can check out extracts from my personal newsletter „Tanja’s Butterflies“.

To follow my product-related writing, I recommend subscribing to my Substack blog Learning Organisation. Some of my articles can also be found in the section Publications & Templates.

There are those days in my female cycle where the world looks especially dark and twisted to me. Every month around this time, I feel like my life is a total desaster and everything is going to hell. And since I don't want to drag you down that hole, I did my best to surrender to this feeling and still give it a fun twist. And this is the (not so serious) result: 10 ways to successfully mess up your life forever Step 1: Surround yourself with boring and negative people (think: Grinch and Wednesday Addams...

Last week, I finally had the chance to issue my Swiss ID. It took me close to a year to complete all the paperwork and do the oral exam where the lovely police lady casually opened with “Are you associated with the red light district?”, followed by a series of questions about Swiss history, politics and typical instruments (which is the only category I partially failed in since I was not able to recall the “Handörgeli”…). Fun fact: I actually had to do the entire exam twice because apparently the police IT system in Switzerland is even more buggy than the Balinese visa application process, and since the lady forgot to save any of my answers, once we were ready to conclude, she realized everything...

I don’t know what’s going on lately and if it is only in my circle, but a lot of people seem to be going through a rough patch in their relationships. This made me think about nothing less than ...

Opt in, opt out - this was my mantra for 2022. I started it by deleting my entire newsletter base, giving all subscribers the opportunity to make a deliberate choice of whether or not to re-subscribe (still very thrilled so many of you came back :-) When we look at other people’s lives, we tend to see all the things they accomplished, but are missing most of the context on the price they paid, the opportunities they did not pursue or how they felt about their choices. While I am looking back on a very successful year at Product Academy, I want to shed some light on things I opted out on: at least 7 podcasts and 4 conferences I was invited to speak atcountless coffee chats...

Time flies… and there are two more butterfly editions I want to send out this year 😊 This one is all about the books that inspired me in 2022. So in case you are looking for Christmas gifts or holiday reads, here are the books that made it onto my shelf (or that I pulled out again after a while…): Bittersweet by Susan Cain: If you have a melancholic side, rank high on the sensitivity spectrum, or always had a feeling there might be something wrong with you for this deep sense of longing, this book is for you. It talks about sorrow and longing and its connection to creativity, about grief and inherited pain. I will admit it sometimes feels a bit repetitive and could...
