Rethink balance, focus on motion. In a world obsessed with time hacks and linear success, Kika Buhrmann invites us to lead from a place of flow and grounded strength. Her talk challenges outdated norms and shows how purpose, presence, and perspective fuel true impact in life and leadership. Through my 20 years of work experience in several countries, leading large organizations, combined with the love of raising our three children, I discovered that many conventional concepts don’t make sense. Time management, work-life balance, career ladder, are all mindsets that made me very stressed and limited my thinking. But I do think there is something better! In order to create a ripple effect, we need to be the strongest version of ourselves. In this talk I will share my personal learnings and how I apply a different way of thinking to create a positive impact on the ones around me. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
