Personal Blog Posts

Being a solopreneur can feel quite lonely. So can being a mother, a product person, a highly-sensitive individual… I made it my mission to bridge the gap between my professional and my private life to show up as authentically and whole-heartedly as I can, inviting others to connect with me from human to human. In this section you can check out extracts from my personal newsletter «Tanja’s Butterflies».

To follow my product-related writing, I recommend subscribing to my Substack blog Learning Organisation. Some of my articles can also be found in the section Publications & Templates.

As many of you might know, I am capping my work load for Product Academy at 40%. I work two mornings and one full day per week and grant myself an extra 15 minutes on the other days for urgent voice messages in order to unblock people I am working with. That's it. Whatever I get done in those roughly 18 hours per week determines what happens at my company and how fast it is growing. Allowing myself to work part-time has been a liberation. Not just, because I get to spend more time with my kids (which, to be honest, can also be exhausting at times...

After five years of changing multiple diapers a day for the kids, I just needed to take a moment to celebrate: both kids are now diaper-free (at least during the day ;-) So let me take this opportunity to tell you a little diaper story:When I used to ask my little son Matteo whether he needed a new diaper, he often replied "I don't wanna tell you" ("Will ich nicht sagen") with this sweet stubborn look on his face. More often than not this meant he really needed one. Sometimes it did not. What it always meant: He did not want to tell me. He was busy. Embarrassed. Annoyed. Or not sure yet. "Will ich nicht sagen."For my friend Judith and me this has become a running joke - and a...

I'm a voice message enthusiast, but answering machines freak me out. I'm repelled by the polished Linkedin world, yet I'm a part of it.I'm a passionate host who needs the house to herself. I'm a philantropist hiding from people. An introvert seeking the stage. A courageous coward. A wonderful mess. Life's intriguingly complicated, filled with contradictory force fields. Which paradoxes are you trying to make sense of in your life?Lots of love,Tanja ...

As a kid I used to read the last pages of a book before starting the first chapter. I just had to know how it all ended. As a teenager I dreamed of a magic remote control. One that would teleport me to better times. In fact, two very distinct moments in time: I immediately wanted to turn 18 ...

The other day, I found my husband reading a railway newspaper (yes, they do exist) on our couch. Surrounded by sofa cushions thrown all over the place by our lovely kids, the floor covered in bread crumbs from the last meal, dishes piling up in the sink. It was one of the rare moments the kids happened to play by themselves without killing each other. One of those precious moments...
