Seven slope charts showing changes in favorability of the USA across seven European countries based on YouGov’s EuroTrack surveys from August 2024 and 2025. Each country is represented by a line connecting its favorability rating in 2024 to its rating in 2025(with filled area below). Denmark, Sweden, and Germany show the steepest declines, with drops of 20 percentage points and more. The overall trend highlights a significant decrease in positive sentiment toward the U.S. following Donald Trump’s return to the political stage.

We are learning less.. even though we are learning more ⚠️ Every time I get asked about a good resource on leadership. I feel like saying "just pick one... it doesn't matter... what matters is the work you are willing to put in".

Why does it feel like we are learning less.. even though we are learning more?

Accelared Feedback Workshop · Zoom · Luma You know that moment when you would like to give someone feedback.. And you instantly feel the discomfort at the thought? Or someone gives you feedback and you…

Struggling to communicate with a co-worker?

Together with Elif Schaefer, I am running a workshop next week on Non-Violent Communication, which is a tool that might help you out.

Bring your problem to a safe space and we can workshop how to give feedback.

The one skill we should all invest in this year.. is working with people we don't like.

Due to the current job market fewer people are quitting

And sadly... the people we struggle with are also not leaving.

I will take any reaction to this post as sneaky vent 🤗

Global warming inforgraphics mural poster with picture and description

My mural and exhibition at tbd.hamburg is running for another month!

I didn’t have a standard wall, so I had to get creative.. I made the global warming infographics as a spiral.. and it’s all commented by dinosaurs

If you are in Hamburg, and you want to drop by, let me know and we can meet there!

Painting set on distilled water to soften the glue and the flatten the canvas

Frame removed

Yay! Frame removed! Painting was done on a kitchen cloth.. probably from the war times where canvas was expensive.. the frame is also improvised and painting was glued to it.. and nailed

Old painting, framed, very dirty

One stripe cleanesd.. to see the difference

Half cleaned

Painting after first stage of cleaning

Watching kdrama and cleaning soot of old painting.. I think it resided in a smoking household 😅

Currently watching: the king, eternal monarch

Cleaning material: triammoniumcitrat

I have also decided to reframe it..

Are all the LLMs popping up giving you a headache? You are not alone

Last year I‘ve done some research on what data professionals are struggling with..

open.substack.com/pub/terezaio...

I also just finished it! 🤗 liked it too!

The mural felt incomplete with the white door.. so.. I‘ve adapted the „this is fine“ meme to the situation

#mural #dinosaurs #tiyepyep

I‘ve started the year with painting a mural and having an exhibition at the local kunstvilla!

As I‘ve been missing doing data viz.. i did an infographic.. climate change in Hamburg.. narrated by dinosaurs 🦖

If you are in Hamburg check it out at tbd.hamburg until end of Februar

It's not too late to do your 2024 year review.. it might help you get some clarity on your aspirations and help you get there faster.

On my journey.. I got inspired by Star Trek 🖖
