The story of one entrepreneur: He didn't want to die - so he went from lambfarming in the mountains to violin making. 🐑🎻 (You have to see the video to learn more...)

He didn't want to die, and hired Hintsa Performance coaching.

Running two businesses in Finland in Finnish is not a small thing. Especially with roadworks outside the shop two years, followed by Covid, followed by a facade renovation (which the landlord forgot to tell about) and war around the corner resulting in cautious money use by customers.

I am so proud of my husband who was headhunted to Finland from UK 22 years ago, became the Director of Restauration of Risto Vainio's reputable violin shop, and founded his own company How Violins OY 15 years ago with the target to serve the customer with perfection and care whether the customer is a small child, a starter with stringed instruments or a super star in the field.

Every instrument gets the same attention with a unique life long guarantee, and every customer is seen. He has been said to have changed the culture in the violin making field in Finland.

Ten years ago I came along and added my little touch with bringing more beauty to the shop along with art and events. My husband is a smart man, and he listened to his wife also when he noticed he needed help. The same week as I launched my CREATE book in January 2023 and we had a big launch event in the violin shop, my husbands vision started to fade. Quite a catastrophe for a violin maker.

Hintsa had been in touch with me because of my HR profession, and I thought their holistic approach might suit Guy. When he had the first meetings with his coaches it seemed as though he became more calm. He felt he had a team holding his back.

Guy, who excels anything he puts his mind on, became the star-student of Hintsa Performance, recovering with amazing speed taking all the steps he said he would. A tired man became vibrant again and joyful when stepping in through the door to his family.

Guys story is amazing and this brilliant video reveals a glimps of it also to you.

He was a great husband all along and now he is more likely to keep his promise to me - his promise to not die. ❤️

"I´m enjoying your book a lot, Oh my god!! I have lived through many of the situations you describe, and reading it is helping me like therapy."

CREATE book review from Spain. What a gift that my book is perceived as helping someone like therapy!

The writing of it was like therapy for me diving deep in it every second weekend when my children were away. I was waiting for my writing weekends and the book gave me back my confidence.

When doing CREATE creative leadership coaching following the C-R-E-A-T-E model I crafted, I have been reading my own book when preparing myself for the coaching sessions and I have surprised even myself how good the steps are. They are helping also myself and I've been thinking that I should do my own CREATE process regularly.

Even if one would be aware of certain things, we don't necessarily act like that constantly in everyday life. It's been wonderful to coach the C-R-E-A-T-E steps and learn so much from my amazing coachees.

Thank you Julia for your heart warming feedback. 😍

I hope my book keeps giving.

Surround yourself with women (people) who lift you and don't put you down. I was so happy to celebrate love with these amazing women in August.

Who can you lift today?

The art exhibition of .art is over. This metamorphosis piece is mine, and a big beauty made for our wedding is already at home.

Thank you, Paula, for being on this metamorphosis journey with me. 🦋🩷💫

Wonderful weekend of going with the flow.

Timeless time, spontaneous picking of flowers, art, delicious food, beauty, nature, friends, love, and space for new creative ideas.

Sometimes, it's good to get a break from everyday life.

What a wonderful and thoughtful gift we received.
