    #3 Ally Passion with Purpose: The Transformative Power of Dance with Larissa Gassman

    #3 Ally Passion with Purpose: The Transformative Power of Dance with Larissa Gassman

    It all started when I gave my daughter the book "My Ballerina Doll" by Junko Shibuya, seven years ago.


    She has been passionate about dance since she was four years old, and her love for it continues to grow.


    Inspired by my daughter's enthusiasm for dance, I decided to invite Larissa Gassman, her teacher, to share her personal experiences and stories.


    Larissa has been dancing since she was a child, and she shares with us how the art form has influenced her life in so many ways.


    During our conversation, she describes her journey to become a professional dancer, even though she did not have the perfect body type that many people believe is necessary.


    Larissa's passion for dance extends beyond her own career. She also talks about her mission in life, which is to inspire others to follow their own dreams and to help them find the joy that dance has brought to her life.



    We hope that you enjoy our talk.

    #2 Comment passe t-on du commerce Ă  l'insertion professionnelle?

    #2 Comment passe t-on du commerce Ă  l'insertion professionnelle?

    Hello les serendipity lovers,


    Steffie nous raconte son cheminement vers sa reconversion professionnelle semĂ©e d’embĂ»ches. 


    Car Ă  l’époque oĂč elle entame sa reconversion pro suite Ă  son licenciement elle est au chĂŽmage en Suisse.


    Et c’est vrai qu’en tant que demandeur d’emploi, on a des obligations:

    ✅ 10 candidatures par mois

    ✅ un rdv mensuel avec son conseiller

    ✅ obligation de chercher dans le mĂȘme domaine d’activitĂ©


    Quand on est enregistrĂ© Ă  l’Office RĂ©gional de Placement, on n’a pas le droit de:

    ⛔ faire des formations, mĂȘme auto-financĂ©es

    ⛔ faire du bĂ©nĂ©volat

    ⛔ apprendre une langue (dans mon cas, des cours d’allemand)


    Pirate dans l’ñme, Steffie, alors enceinte pendant sa pĂ©riode de chĂŽmage, entamera une formation pour valider son brevet fĂ©dĂ©ral de formatrice d’adultes. 


    Elle s’engagera Ă©galement dans du bĂ©nĂ©volat qui sera pour elle un dĂ©clic.


    GrĂące au PPE+, elle trouve un stage pour entamer sa reconversion professionnelle.


    C’est en comptant sur le soutien de sa famille, et son inĂ©puisable optimisme (sa mĂšre la surnomme Olaf!) qu’elle parvient aujourd’hui Ă  faire le mĂ©tier de ses rĂȘves.


    Dans l’épisode, Steffie donne aussi ses conseils aux femmes qui sont en recherche d’emploi, en reconversion professionnelle ou en mode solopreneur.

    On Ă©voque ce qu’est ĂȘtre au chĂŽmage en Suisse. L’importance d’ĂȘtre accompagnĂ©e. Les associations existantes qui aident les personnes en recherche d’emploi.


    J’espĂšre que cet Ă©pisode vous donnera l’élan pour vous rĂ©vĂ©ler!


    With love,

    Nathalie Pham

    “Ne restez pas seule”

    “Il y a Ă©normĂ©ment de personnes aujourd’hui qui n’ont pas d’ordinateur pour chercher du travail”.

    “Elles n’ont plus conscience de la valeur qu’elles ont. On dĂ©pend trop de l’étiquette professionnelle qu’on se met”.

    “le mot chĂŽmage m’énerve! Il y a une connotation”.

    “Il y a des employeurs qui privilĂ©gient les personnes qui ont dĂ©jĂ  un emploi plutĂŽt que des personnes disponibles“.

    “Les mĂ©tiers d’aujourd’hui ne sont pas forcĂ©ment ceux de demain et les mĂ©tiers d’hier encore moins”

    “Le travail Ă  temps partiel c’est quelque chose que j’ai dĂ©couvert en Suisse”

    “En Ă©tant maman, on dĂ©veloppe pleins de compĂ©tences et des super pouvoirs”

    3. Talk with Evelin from ReturnersWork

    Dear Serendipity lovers,


    As you may know, after a break in your career, it can be difficult to get back to work. Indeed, most returners fail to pass common recruiting procedures. Luckily, Evelin Bermudez has founded ReturnersWork (RW)  and Companies & Returnships Network (CRN) to bring employers and returners together. 


    Through RW, a social enterprise, she aims at offering a community of professionals where one can find support through job matching opportunities, coaching, professional networking and career advice. 


    Let’s meet Evelin Bermudez:


    You will learn the inspirational story of founding CRM and RW. You will learn the outcome of that kind of platform for returners.  


    We have also talked about some of the hurdles on a returners path: the lack of flexibility from certain employers, companies structural barriers, high cost of the childcare...

    That is why dialogue is needed to raise awareness and to share innovative initiatives, best practices to politics and to employers.


    To our audience, there is a special price for the Re-entry career fair on the 15th &16th of November 2021 with the code Serendipity. There are still some slots open

    2. Talk with Eylem from the Women on Stage

    Hi Serendipity lovers!


    Eylem Demir SentĂŒrk is the founder of Women On Stage. She gives herself the mission to advance men and women in their career and raise awareness around the topic of bullying workplace to prevent it. 

    To get there, she had to go through a very long and challenging journey. 


    🍒 I hope this talk with Eylem will provoke a reaction, make you think about this taboo topic that is bullying, harassment, toxic working environment. 


    🍎 She also shares, like Philippe Gerwil, (pilot episode) the power of networking. She was able to host an event “from zero to hero” in Basel with the support of her network on LinkedIn during the pandemic in 2020!  Eylem was not able to study in Switzerland because of her refugee background. Thus, she found an alternative for an education in England. 


    🍍 Her motto: “ rejection is only a redirection”. “There is always a way, a path to achieve your averall goal”



    Enjoy this episode and leave a comment to share your feelings or your work experience with the bullying on this LinkedIn post:

    Hi everyone! Welcome to the pilot episode of Serendipity from Zug.

    Introducing my guest: Philippe Gerwil.
    How did I meet Philippe? I came across his profile on LinkedIn since his name was also written in Mandarin and he seemed to be deep in the digital world.
    As you may have guessed, Philippe has roamed the world over the years, mostly China but also switzerland and the US.
    His natural curiosity and adaptability lead him from the shop floor to being now an advisor in many of the most innovative venture in China.
    We've talked industrial revolution, chinese culture and happiness in what is your first encounter with serendipity :)

    NB: as the great podcast curse predicts, we've had  many acoustic issues during what was. a "field recording". Please excuse the from time to time mediocre sound quality :)
