Summer Update

Many of you are probably on holiday or thinking about getting away from the Nordics to enjoy even warmer weather.
As I head into weeks 29, 30, and 31 in full Daddy Daycare mode, I am also using the time to reflect on the first half of 2025. The ups, the downs, the wins, and the lessons. Spending more time with my family has helped me reconnect with what really matters.
There is something about summer. Things slow down just enough to give us room to breathe. That kind of space is rare when the year is in full swing. It is a good moment to pause, reassess where we are, and reset our focus for what is ahead. Whether you are thinking about picking up a new skill, applying for a job, getting back into shape, or redefining what success looks like at home and at work, this is the time to realign.
I will admit, I sometimes get anxious just looking at the calendar. The second half of the year can feel like a sprint, and the pressure builds quickly. But what I have come to realize, especially as a parent, is that pace matters. You can still finish strong without rushing. Sometimes a pause is exactly what we need to come back sharper and more grounded.
Even though many are taking a break this summer, we are still moving at BPoC. If you are in job search mode or trying to find your footing in the Danish market, do not miss our upcoming Career Workshop: Mastering the Danish Job Market on August 13 from 16.00 to 18.30 at the BioInnovation Institute in Copenhagen.
Whether you are a recent graduate or an experienced professional looking to make your next move, this session will give you practical tools to sharpen your CV, prepare for interviews, and navigate Danish workplace culture with more confidence.
As part of my own reset, I am also carving out time to reconnect with community and get inspired. One event I am especially looking forward to is TechBBQ, happening August 27 and 28.
It brings together some of the most exciting minds in tech, innovation, and entrepreneurship. If you are planning to attend or even just considering it, use our BPoC network discount code: 25BPoCnetwork25 when booking tickets. It is a great opportunity to connect, learn, and recharge professionally.
So if you are also in reset mode, I see you. Take the walk. Make the call. Write the plan. Or just enjoy the break. Whatever gives you clarity and calm.
The back half of the year is wide open. Let us make it count.
