Hi Reader

This week was full. But not just busy—it was productive, too. And let’s face it: those two don’t always go hand in hand. We’ve all had those weeks where activity doesn’t equal progress. But this time things just clicked.

Here are a few things I’m excited to share with you:

🎧 Self-Managed Organizations: A Model That Works

I had a fascinating conversation with Veiko Valkiainen—leadership coach, podcast host, and one of the most thoughtful voices on self-managed organizations. These are organizations with no traditional managers. You read that right—no bosses hovering over you, no bottlenecks.

Instead:

• Every role holder acts like a mini-CEO.

• Teams make decisions collaboratively.

• Everyone’s accessible for feedback, but no one tells you what to do.

It’s not theory. I’ve seen it. I’ve done it. Years ago, I was involved in transforming a traditional organization into a flatter, more self-managed one. And as a result we didn’t just improve—we quadrupled our performance. And it wasn’t top-down. Every single team member—regardless of title—put their energy, time, and expertise into making it happen.

📅 Final Session: Create Your Personal Strategy (April 29)

Over the past few weeks, I’ve run this workshop a couple of times—and each time, it’s been something special.

Here’s what people have said:

And now? April 29 is the final round.

I won’t be running this workshop again.

So if you’ve been curious, now’s the moment. Join this last, live 90-minute session to:

✅ Clarify your identity, values, and what matters most

✅ Build a step-by-step plan for your personal and professional goals

✅ Cut through distraction and focus on your real priorities

✅ Create sustainable habits to stay on track

If you’ve been meaning to take the time to really think about what’s next—this is your invitation.

🔴 LinkedIn Live: Strategic Career Development (April 22)

I’m also thrilled to invite you to a LinkedIn Live conversation I’m hosting on April 22 about strategic career development, building a personal brand, and how to use LinkedIn to support both.

Joining me is Marianna Inozemtseva, Founder of Linkifyo and a true expert in helping B2B tech and marketing leaders attract quality leads and talent through LinkedIn.

Marianna has been doing thought leadership and social selling before it even had a name—and now she leads a team doing it at scale. If you’ve ever wondered how to:

• Find your voice online

• Attract the right audience

• Build a brand that drives real business results

…this is the conversation you won’t want to miss.

​

If you’re feeling like it’s time to take control of your career, clarify your direction, or simply get re-inspired—these events are for you.

As always, I’d love for you to forward this to a friend who could benefit from it, or hit reply and tell me what resonated with you this week.

Wishing you clarity, progress, and maybe even a little white space on your calendar. 😉

Warmly,

Daria
