Welcome to episode nr 30 of The Coffee Journeys Show: Four Types of Happiness: How Much is Really in Your Control?

In this episode we’re diving into a powerful perspective on happiness. Is happiness something that just happens by chance, or can we actually make it happen?

Drawing on the ideas of neuroscientist Dr. James H. Austin, we’ll explore the four types of “chance” that contribute to happiness:

Each type of happiness has its own role, but some are more within our control than others.

Join us as we unpack these insights and discuss how you can take intentional steps to create more happiness in your life. Whether you’re a leader looking to cultivate joy within your team or someone aiming to increase personal fulfilment, this episode is a practical guide to understanding and influencing your own happiness.

Welcome to episode nr 29 of The Coffee Journeys Show: Time's True Value: A Leader’s Guide to Intentional Living

In today’s fast-paced world, we often fill our schedules to the brim, forgetting what truly matters. But as leaders, we owe it to ourselves—and those we lead—to pause, reflect, and make intentional choices.

In this episode we dive into the concept of the "real deadline" in our lives and explore why understanding time’s true value is key to becoming a better leader.
We'll walk through a unique life exercise that puts our time into perspective and discuss the powerful Hell Yeah or No framework by Derek Sivers to help guide decision-making.

And, inspired by Stoic philosophy, we’ll talk about Memento Mori—the reminder that our time is finite—and how this realization can lead to a more meaningful, intentional life.

So, grab your coffee, find a quiet spot, and join us as we explore how to lead with purpose and spend our time on what truly matters.

Welcome to episode nr 22 of The Coffee Journeys Show: Everyday Life Negotiation: Insides from Chris Voss

Conflict. It is unavoidable experience when raising children. Similarly, in a work environment, if we truly value diverse thoughts, cultures, and approaches, conflict will eventually arise.

It is natural to feel inclined to take a side and quickly resolve the conflict or to avoid it altogether.

However, neither of these approaches are ideal in the long term.

"Do it because I say so" is never a good idea. In the parenting realm as well as the leadership context.

Fortunately, there are plenty of sources we can learn from. One of them is a book written by a former FBI hostage negotiator.

Yes, you heard it right. We can implement the techniques used in negotiations with kidnappers and apply them to our families and leadership at work.

In the latest episode of the Coffee Journey podcast, Piotr dives into the art of negotiation with insights from Chris Voss's 'Never Split the Difference'. From tactical empathy to calibrated questions, discover how these strategies can transform conflicts at home and in leadership. Listen now for practical tips and stories on effective communication!
