Making the Most of Non-Linear Career Paths

Inbound PR

A few months back, my good friend Kareem Mostafa who I've featured in the blog introduced me to a friend of his - Leon Nussbaumer. Leon runs an excellent and top-rated podcast about professionals and careers called Leon & The Professionals. Leon and I got to talking and decided to record a session as well. Leon was great to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation which could have gone for much, much longer.

The Importance of Knowing Your Work Style

Inbound PR

When you start a new job, join a new company or a new team, others need to understand how you work. The earlier you get to know the people you will be closely working with and the earlier they get to know you, the smoother your work collaboration will be. Transparency about what you like and don't like, how you work, how you communicate, and how you make decisions at the very beginning is key for your success in the new role, company or team as well.

What Was Hot on Iliyana's Blog in 2022

Inbound PR

Even though I didn't write much here last year (although I had great intentions but ended up writing a book ), the blog kept being popular with lots of views and readers so today I'm doing a review of what you liked the most in 2022 here. I will use this info to create new content that aligns with what you're reading the most. What I'm finding very interesting from this analysis is how just within a few years, the most popular posts are starting to move from those on the PR topic over to those o

Reflecting on 2022 - Can Women Really Have it All?

Inbound PR

This post might be controversial for many. Some might agree. I'm sure many others will not. This post is also very vulnerable and personal. It's my take on the much-debated question if women can have it all - career and kids - reflecting on how 2022 went for me. Two big things happened this year for me professionally: I joined a new company starting a new job and I published my second book (on a completely unexpected topic even for me).

Where Most Organisations Fail - Part 1

Inbound PR

Throughout my career, I've worked in three big tech companies and consulted hundreds of SMBs. No matter the size, most organisations tend to fail in two areas which undermine or slow their performance and growth. The first one is what we'll talk about today and that is execution. Making things happen efficiently and effectively is the number one challenge for the majority of companies but unfortunately, most of them don't even admit they have an execution problem or don't place particular import

Why No One is Teaching You How to Manage Your Money

Inbound PR

I have a confession to make. For the last few years, I've been very interested in the topic of personal finances. My husband and I have dug so deep into it - reading books and blogs, listening to podcasts, webinars and YouTube videos, and speaking to friends and family. We've done this because we wanted to get better at managing our money and making sound financial decisions for the future to be able to enjoy life even more.

My Top 5 Learnings from Creating and Running a PMO

Inbound PR

In my previous job at Cisco, I was put in charge of creating and running a PMO (Project Management Office) for the execution of the departmental strategy. I had never done this before but I took the challenge. It was incredibly interesting and rewarding to have to figure out something from scratch. It was also a big responsibility but this is what made it so exciting to work on.
