Lundi inspi de Amanda Seraphin

Chaque semaine, je présente une personne inspirante de mon réseau sur Linkedin. Voici les réponses de Amanda Seraphin.

Who are you?

A French-American, I’ve been living in Paris for the past 7 years. I'm currently an HR Project Manager at Yousign where I analyze HR data and work on diverse projects. Outside of work I love reading novels, writing and baking (both sweet and salty things 😋).

An original anecdote about you?

Few people know this, but in a former life I worked in the music industry. In the summer of 2014, I toured the US with a very famous band from the 60s (The Turtles).

What’s the project you’re the most proud of and why?

I'm writing a novel, which is a real mental marathon. Neil Gaiman said that writing a book is like driving through the fog, and it absolutely is! Sometimes I feel lost, but as soon as I write a passage that I'm proud of, I remember why I put myself up to the challenge.

What do you enjoy the most in your daily life?

Mornings… I like waking up early when the day is still full of possibilities. 🌞

What’s the one piece of professional advice you give yourself that works?

If everything's a priority, nothing's a priority - that's my mantra when I feel overwhelmed. First prioritize the missions, then break them down into smaller actions and set deadlines that are realistic but tight enough to create a little pressure.

How do you recharge your batteries when you’re having an intense week?

Working out is the best way to de-stress. I go to the gym, put on my earphones and think only about what’s in front of me.

How do you stay up to date?

My morning newsletters. I read several publications from Bloomberg and Sifted.

And to end on a funny note: what are the 3 emojis that you use the most?

😂 🙃 🌞
