The Belinda Esterhammer Show
Several years ago, the term "The Future is Female" started to pop up everywhere and it became so mainstream that fast fashion brands were selling underwear with this slogan. Women, in much of the world are on the bottom of the hierarchy and need to be empowered. But the future is not just female - we need to reach overall diversity and we need to go way deeper. We need diversity of race, diversity when it comes to age and diversity of thought. The future is always now and lies in the choices we make today.

1. Find your personal WHY
The Belinda Esterhammer Show
Simon Sinek, the "godfather" of WHY introduced us to this concept in his popular TED talk and subsequently through his book Start with WHY. In this episode I am not talking about the WHY in context with running an organisation and leadership, but how you - you as an individual should start to look for your WHY in your life. This WHY is the purpose, cause, or belief that drives every one of us.
