I get energy from spending time alone in quiet places, for example reading in a library or walking along a river.
I often have a need for reading as well as thinking.
I like to think deeply about things, see things from different perspectives, go into details and understand things better. These traits helped me develop strengths in analytical thinking, research as well as strategic thinking.
I like communicating with other people - in particular with one or two other people.
I like to learn about and try to understand what other people are thinking and feeling. This ability helped me to develop strengths in coaching / tutoring / counseling / mentoring / consulting.

When I come across an idea that I really believe in, I like to try out the idea in an inexpensive and safe way.

I was born and raised in Denmark, where I grew up in a culture that places considerable value on extroversion. In school, for example, communicating actively was strongly encouraged. The more we raised our hands to share questions, ideas, or experiences, the better. This emphasis on speaking up was also reinforced in environments outside school. Being engaged in conversation was seen as positive, whereas being quiet was sometimes interpreted as a sign that something was wrong. After moving to Switzerland in 2006, I gradually discovered another side of myself - the introverted part of my personality. Reading this, you might think that I was forced into that discovery by circumstance, but that is only partly true. In fact, I found joy in exploring my introverted nature. I realized that I often gained energy and inspiration through reading, writing, thinking, and spending time alone. These moments of solitude became deeply nourishing in my mind, my heart and my body. They helped me learn more effectively, think more creatively, and also be more present when I engaged in conversation with others. In that sense, I now see that the moments of solitude and even the initial feelings of loneliness I experienced in Switzerland were valuable. They guided me toward a fuller understanding of myself and a more balanced way of living and relating to others.
When I moved to Switzerland in 2006, I experienced that it was not always easy to start conversations with Swiss people. I had the impression that many preferred to keep a certain distance and were not particularly inclined to share their experiences, thoughts, or ideas with others - nor to learn much about those of newcomers. At times, this social reserve left me feeling a sense of loneliness. The often short and somewhat superficial exchanges I had sometimes evoked emotions such as surprise, rejection, and sadness. I was surprised by the quietness - by how few words were exchanged, even in situations where conversation seemed natural. These experiences prompted me to reflect and to discuss my impressions with my girlfriend. Together, we wondered about several questions, such as these:
To what extent are Swiss people interested in learning about newcomers, for example where they come from and who they are?
Could something about my appearance make people hesitant to approach or engage with me?
Might my way of speaking influence how open others feel to communicate with me?
To what extent do some Swiss people feel discomfort, fear, or even frustration towards foreigners?
To what extent is there a general reluctance to form new friendships beyond established circles?
These reflections helped me become more aware of cultural nuances and also of my own expectations about openness, connection, and belonging.
