When it comes to people yes, I do trust my instincts. I think I am quite intuitive and a fairly decent judge of character. I can tell quickly whether I will get on with that person or not.

I think with age comes wisdom, you can tell when you meet people whether there is a connection. I attended a dinner recently where there were some real VIP’S. I wouldn’t say I was intimidated but I was concerned that because I didn’t go to the right school or University I would feel inadequate.

Luxembourg can be like that, and over the years I have to admit I’ve tried to fit, but it’s like putting a square peg into a round hole, it isn’t me!

And it’s taken time to be proud of who I am. I’m still very much a work in progress but I won’t apologise for bring me.

Whilst just being myself I found quite quickly I had some common ground and was able to have some very enjoyable conversations with people from very different backgrounds to my own.

On arrival my instincts were right and so knew who I’d be able to connect to.

With regards to situations my instincts are not always correct.

I try whenever possible to see the positive in things.

Unfortunately that’s not always the case and despite following my instincts there are times when I’ve been disappointing.

It’s important in those situations not to feel dishearten, don’t let them own you.

Learn and move on.

Thank you x
