    Agnes - on the Power of Positivity

    🌏 Journey Hungary -> UK ->  Switzerland Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Agnes, a Senior Test Engineer based in Switzerland. Agnes approaches life with an incredibly positive mindset and a strong determination to create a fulfilling life for herself. One of the most inspiring examples is how she integrated into new cultures — first in London and later in Switzerland — by immersing herself in local languages and dialects. In our conversation, we explore the power of self-improvement over self-proving, the value of staying open to new opportunities, and the importance of prioritizing self-care on our personal journeys 📎 Connect to Agnes: https://linktr.ee/creativecornerch   📎 More about Evelina: https://linktr.ee/EvelinaRimk Support the show

    Kay - On Living Life with Happiness

    🌏 Journey Jordan -> USA, Italy. Denmark, Lichtenstein -> Switzerland Today my guest is Kay Zoubi Capozzi- a dedicated professional leading in digital and educational initiatives. She holds a B.Sc. in Computer Information Systems from the University of Jordan, and after moving to the USA, she added extra credits and minored in Mathematics. Currently, she is pursuing an M.Sc. in Digital Business Management along with a master’s in International Education. Her studies focus on inclusion, communication, and diversity, which enrich her ability to foster inclusive educational environments. In addition to her professional commitments, she has been involved in several startup initiatives. While balancing these endeavors with family life has been a learning curve, it has also been incredibly rewarding. At present, her primary focus is on personal development and leveraging her knowledge to serve her company as a senior educator. Beyond her professional life, she has recently taken up playing the cello and tennis over the past two years. Although she is still a beginner, she is passionate and dedicated to improving in both areas. Most importantly, she is a loving mother of two wonderful children. She cherishes every moment watching them grow and learn, and she strives to be the best mother she can be while balancing her professional and personal pursuits.At her home Jordanian, USA, Italian and Swiss cultures mix together.  Tips from Kay: Consider studying as part of integration in a new country. Doing a degree or studying helps you to meet people in different settings.Find home inside you and connect to the things that makes you happy. Every place is different and no place needs the same tools and things you have from before. Thus your moving plan should be very minimal and flexible. Do not hold too tight on previous places and do not try to compare them.Make keeping relationship a priority 📎 Connect to Kay: kayzoubi@gmail.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/kay-zoubi/   📎 More about Evelina: https://linktr.ee/EvelinaRimk Support the show
