We're happy to be back with a series of posts 🎙️ Voices That Inspire 🎙️ Today we invite you into our conversation with PRISMA Software Switzerland's Development Lead-Teodora Voina. 1. Can you tell us about a turning point in your career as an IT Project Manager that significantly influenced your career path? One pivotal moment in my career as an IT project manager was when I led our last BMS project - a high-stakes project that faced numerous challenges, from unforeseen tasks to more deliveries in the same day. Through strategic decision-making and effective communication, we navigated through obstacles and delivered the project successfully. This experience provided invaluable lessons in adaptability, resilience and problem-solving, shaping my career trajectory and reinforcing my commitment to excellence in project management.   2. Are there any challenges that women face in the IT field based on your experience, and how do you address these challenges? I believe that the world's mentality has evolved regarding this highly debated topic and people are more open-minded and they started to accept women in leadership or technical roles. It was about time, it's 2024 :). Although, we are still facing an underrepresentation of women in leadership roles and technical positions, the number of women working in IT industry has increased lately. Based on my experience, it seems that the gender bias is losing ground, I didn't feel women being treated differently compared to men. During my working years, I had the same privileges, benefits, obligations and responsibilities as my male colleagues. To be honest, I have never experienced gender bias, even if I was surrounded mostly by men. Anyway, I know that not all women share my beautiful experience, so we need to continue outlying the achievements and contributions of women in IT, so that we can challenge stereotypes and inspire future generations of female professionals. 3. What advice would you give to aspiring professionals looking to get into the IT project management field? My path as an IT project manager did not start long ago - I still have e lot to learn, but here is my heartfelt advice: Gain foundational knowledge of project management principles and methodologies, and develop technical skills in IT concepts, tools, and technologies relevant to project management. Then, work on your communication skills — both verbal and written. Clear, effective communication is the backbone of successful project management. Soft skills matter just as much as technical prowess. Learn to lead by example, showing empathy, integrity, and accountability in every interaction and always support your team. The IT landscape evolves rapidly, and the ability to adapt, embrace change and provide quick solutions will make a difference. I am always telling to myself that becoming a great project manager is a journey, not a destination. I keep learning, growing, and never underestimate the power of perseverance.

Just attended an inspiring event in Zurich: Success Booster: Bring your venture to the next level, organized by Vectra Advisors and TRUST SQUARE. 🚀 The panelists shared invaluable insights on scaling 📈 startups successfully. Here are some key takeaways that really resonated with me: 🔎 Focus on your customers: They are at the core of everything. 💪 Know your strengths and weaknesses: Self-awareness is crucial for growth. 🧠 Understand your competitors and partners: Navigating the market landscape effectively makes all the difference. 🥇 Be excellent at what you do: Mastery builds credibility. 🤼 Build diverse teams: Diversity brings strength, and make sure there’s someone on board who isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions. 👂 Listen actively: It's often the key to uncovering new opportunities.

𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 share some interesting similarities, especially when it comes to mental well-being and resilience. I met Katherina Aldunate Kunstmann in Berlin at ProductCamp Berlin. As our sessions had some overlap, we decided to have a short post-conference meeting to follow up on the topic “How Humor and Mindfulness Fit Together.” We discovered that there are many overlaps between these two concepts. Here are the three most interesting points: 1. Stress Management: Both can help reduce stress. Humor allows you to view difficult situations from a different perspective and take them more lightly. Mindfulness helps you stay present in the moment and reduce stress reactions. 2. Emotional Resilience: Humor can strengthen resilience by promoting positive emotions and helping you cope with adversity. Mindfulness also fosters resilience by enabling a better understanding and acceptance of your emotions. 3. Improvement of Well-being: Both practices can enhance overall well-being. Humor brings joy and laughter into daily life, while mindfulness can lead to a deeper sense of satisfaction and calm. What has been your experience with these two topics in your daily life?

That is to gain a deep understanding of our users, their challenges, and their motivations 👱 Something that AI on autopilot simply isn’t able to accomplish right now 🤖 AI can provide helpful assistance, but it’s premature to already let it sit in the driver’s seat. #ai #uxr #userresearch

In last week's webinar, Wolfgang Goebl talked about how to establish and grow your influence and impact as an Enterprise Designer. For all of you who missed it: the slides and a recording of the session are available now! You can find them on our website: https://lnkd.in/djRVxcds ___________________________________________ Enterprise Designers face a difficult task. Understanding what needs to change and designing those changes is difficult enough. Getting the enterprise to collaborate with you, adopt your designs and implement them in the way you intended is often even harder. You need to get people to trust you, to value your work and your advice and to get as enthusiastic about your ideas and designs as you are yourself. Just delivering great designs is not enough; only through the power of influence will those great designs have a chance to have the impact you desire. The patterns in this section outline major steps to establish and grow your influence and impact as an Enterprise Designer. This is a continuous process that takes time and constant attention. These patterns will show you: - The importance of having a personal enterprise vision - How to build coalitions and get executive buy-in - How to clarify and align the enterprise vision into a compelling shared vision for all co-creators - How to set up a safe negotiation space where co-creators feel comfortable to exchange ideas and collaborate - The importance of clear ownership and enterprise-wide alignment of change initiatives - When to decide to leave. _________________________________________ #enterprisedesign #intersection #edgy

"We don't have a choice about whether to think metaphorically" Last week, I had a very nice exchange with Felix Penzias, creator, and author of digital learning products at create-mediadesign GmbH. We talked about teaching, workshop methods, and gamification. One of the things we found out that we are commonly fascinated by is metaphors. Felix shared with me wonderful handmade sketches from the books he read. I share here one of them and one quote, from the book  "Metaphors we live by" - G.Lakoff, M.Johnson. One of the things I use a lot in my trainings are metaphors. One example comes from the Clean language which I heard first time from ,Charles-Louis de Maere when he was invited by Nathy Ravez in her podcast. He was talking about the book of Caitlin Walker (PhD) which I also read and wrote some articles about: https://lnkd.in/dJmJTgyw I invite you to let your mind flow after reading the quote and if you know other books where the power of metaphors is revealed, please share them in the comments :) #teamflow #exchange #metaphors #trainings #learning

Back on track! For the first time since the founding of kickstartDS and joining ruhmesmeile GmbH, I have really been hit hard. For the first time, I was genuinely sick for more than a day or two – and it feels unfamiliar and challenging. As a business owner, there’s always a feeling that you need to keep everything in sight and be needed everywhere. Suddenly, you are forced to let go – and that is difficult. The biggest challenge? Truly finding rest without feeling guilty. Seeking regenerative rest instead of just being passively unwell. It humbles you and highlights how important it is to have a strong team that you can trust. This moment teaches me that allowing for breaks is also part of entrepreneurship. How do you handle such situations?
