encoded: What Makes Me Say Yes? When I was asked to introduce myself as the new President of The Network, my first thought was that I had already shared quite a bit about myself in an interview six months ago when I took on the Events Director role. If you are curious about my professional background and personal story, that interview is still available. Instead of repeating myself, I thought I would take a different approach. Then I remembered our event in May, Why Do We Keep Saying Yes?, where we explored why so many of us struggle to say no and often end up overcommitting ourselves. Reflecting on why I said yes to this role, a different question came to mind: What actually makes me say yes? Not the yes that comes from obligation, pressure, or the occasional case of FOMO, which, let’s be honest, happens from time to time. But the yes that comes naturally, instinctively, and with genuine excitement. Conversations that broaden my perspective I love conversations that challenge assumptions, introduce new ways of thinking, and leave me with more questions than answers. The more people I meet, the more I realise how much there is to learn from experiences and perspectives different from my own. I often walk away from these conversations feeling re-energised and re-activated. Sometimes with more questions than answers—and I have learned to be comfortable with that. People who make things happen I am inspired by people who turn ideas into action. The ones who are willing to try, learn, adjust, and keep moving forward. I also admire those who are willing to be vulnerable, let go of perfectionism, and accept that progress is often messy. Many of the opportunities that shaped my life started with a simple decision to give something a go. Waiting until I feel completely ready has never been one of my strengths. Ideas that bring people together Whether it’s a task, a project, an event, I am drawn to ideas that create connection, spark collaboration, and help people discover opportunit…

encoded: Can you tell us a little about yourself and what inspired you to join The Network as a volunteer? Hi, my name is Stéphanie, I moved to Luxembourg in the course of 2024 after spending six years in The Netherlands. Having lived in several countries across Europe and beyond, I particularly enjoy the international environment here in Luxembourg, while also appreciating the opportunity to discover a country rooted in a strong cultural heritage and identity. I have worked in communications throughout my career, navigating between the private and public sectors. I am now responsible for the Communication Office of the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, located in the inspiring Belval area. I found myself inspired by the values shared by The Network, which are grounded in the aim of empowering women through personal and professional growth, fostering meaningful connections, embracing diversity, and upholding professionalism in all its actions. 2. What attracted you specifically to the Communications team and the work around the website? I originally joined the Membership team, as there was a stronger need in this area. I enjoyed getting to know more about The Network’s members and the kind of requests or questions they might have, which was a very helpful first immersion in the association. I then switched to the Communication team, since this is my core expertise. There was a need to provide more support in Communications, and also on the website, which remains an active and useful communication platform for members to learn more about us, and for our partners to gain a better understanding of club events and sponsorship opportunities. 3. What do you enjoy most about contributing to The Network’s communications and storytelling? I really like connecting the dots and ensuring coherence between the different communication channels. I believe that consistency is key to get your message across and reinforce your brand identity. I also enjoy the purpose of our Comm…

encoded: Inclusive Communication & Public Speaking in Multicultural Workplaces In today’s international workplaces, communication is about far more than speaking clearly. It is about creating spaces where people from different cultures, languages, and backgrounds feel heard, respected, and valued. In multicultural environments like Luxembourg, inclusive communication has become an essential professional skill. Strong communicators are not necessarily the loudest people in the room. They are often the ones who listen carefully, adapt their message thoughtfully, and make others feel comfortable contributing. Inclusive communication encourages collaboration, trust, and innovation because people are more likely to share ideas when they feel safe doing so. “Communication is not just about delivering a message — it is about making sure others feel included in the conversation.” — Brené Brown Cross-cultural awareness also plays an important role in public speaking and everyday workplace interactions. Different cultures may have different approaches to feedback, eye contact, formality, silence, or decision-making. Being aware of these differences helps us avoid misunderstandings and communicate with greater empathy. For many professionals, speaking up in meetings or presenting in a second language can feel intimidating. Inclusive workplaces recognize this challenge and encourage participation in ways that build confidence rather than pressure. Small changes — allowing more time for responses, avoiding jargon, or inviting quieter voices into discussions — can make a significant difference. Another important aspect of inclusive communication is emotional intelligence. Being attentive to tone, body language, and the reactions of others helps create stronger and more respectful connections. In multicultural teams, empathy and active listening are often just as important as technical expertise. When people feel understood, they are more likely to engage openly, collaborate effectively, a…

encoded: Have you ever had the feeling that you no longer belonged in the places you once loved being in? Those things that once made your heart pound out of your chest, and your eyes light up only thinking about them no longer made you happy. The friends you once loved meeting, the Sunday walks in the city center while enjoying your favorite red fruits ice cream under the gentle touch of the sun felt like distant memories. That job you once loved so much. You would wake up in the morning earlier, ready to conquer another day full of complaints, chaos and yet so productive. You loved what you did and you were not afraid to take on whatever the day would throw in your way. You would pour your heart and soul into your work, and you would go the extra mile. Your energy was once so contagious that almost everyone in the team and nearby would feel it. They would not stand a chance. You wanted to take on more, you started working more, you wanted to feel more useful, more visible, more appreciated by your work peers. You worked extra hours, skipped lunches to make sure your customers would always come first. Your boss would always rely on you, even during your free time, to help with “urgent” matters. Was there a report to finish even if it was the end of the day? “I could stay a bit longer to make sure it’s done”. Emails during holidays? “I’ll just connect for five minutes”. Those minutes became hours, and those hours slowly became your new life. As the days, weeks, months went by, so did your energy. Then slowly, something changed. You changed. You were tired all the time. Those mornings you once woke up ready to conquer now became battles you surrendered to. The job you loved so much doing was now an endless day of exhaustion and self doubt. You started questioning yourself, felt like you were no longer belonging in the place you once cast your light so bright. Nothing made you happy anymore. The people you once loved to be surrounded by now felt draining to be around. When did…
