You have Time: Slow Life Lessons (Part II) featuring Sandrine Kom

You have Time: Slow Life Lessons, Part 2
featuring Sandrine Kom
“We need to change our relationship with time because we really see time as our enemy. It's never enough and sometimes we get angry because we know we don't have enough time. We would like to have 30 hours of time and not 16, there is always this frustration. What we can do is repeat to ourselves that we have time, and this daily slowness tool will help you do what you need to do and more.” Sandrine Kom
In part two of my conversation with the incomparable Sandrine Kom we dig deeper into her SlowLife Coaching and SlowLife Yoga work and she homes in on how we can be nicer to ourselves, learn to listen to our inner child − the little voice inside that we typically ignore − and tune in to it as a way of meeting our deepest needs. Sandrine also imparts methods we can utilize, aided by technology, to bring more mindfulness and slowness into our daily lives.
We also speak of how she transforms Stressed out Superwomen into Zen Superwomen by offering strategies on setting boundaries and abandoning the guilty feeling of it never being enough.
Finally, we talk more about the importance of digital detoxes and being in nature, her retreats, workshops, interactive conferences and team and community-building activities that show concretely how a culture of slowness enables us to work better, find more work life balance, and to make peace with time
Sandrine Kom Biography
Sandrine Kom was born and grew up in Paris before moving to live and study in Berlin for over 12 years. In 2000 she moved to Florence, where she still resides, and currently divides her time between Florence and Paris.
Sandrine graduated from Berlin University in Communication Sciences and Economics and obtained her diploma as a Nutrition Coach at the Centre de Formation à Distance (CFD) in Brussels. She completed her Yoga Teacher Training at “Yoga Garden” in San Francisco.
In addition to English, she is fluent in French, German, Russian and of course Italian!
A Parisian in love with Tuscany, her adoptive home is where where her love of food, yoga and nature led her to create FiloCIBOsofia Slow Life which grew and became “Slowlife Coaching” and “Slowlife Yoga”.
Sandrine has offered her experiences through Airbnb for many years, won several awards, and received over 700 positive testimonials. Furthermore, in 2020 at the start of the pandemic, she and five other Italian hosts were selected (out of 5,000 experiences) by Airbnb as they diversified their model from in-person to online experiences. She also offers experiences to companies where she focuses on increasing the wellbeing of their teams and people.

You have Time: Slow Life Lessons, Part 1
featuring Sandrine Kom
“We need slowness. We need it to enjoy our life, to enjoy the people who are around us, to avoid misunderstanding, to find harmony with ourselves, to take care of our values. And we also need slowness to take care of our deepest needs.” Sandrine Kom
This week’s guest, Sandrine Kom, believes that slow life is quiet luxury. So much so that it's the motto of her company, SlowLife Coaching and SlowLife Yoga, which embodies an art of living and a philosophy of life. Join me and Sandrine as she shares with us the personal and professional journey that led her to Italy and to her métier.
During our conversation, Sandrine illustrates her principles of slowness, gives us some
strategies we can all develop to clarify and meet our deepest needs, and underlines
the importance of slowing down and pausing in order to create a more intentional life that brings joy and fulfillment.
It should come as no surprise, therefore, that when asked by Banijay Italia and Nove/Warner Bros. Discovery to propose an experience in the Chianti for me and my travel companions, I knew it had to be something that would enable us to spend time
together in nature and give us the chance to connect more deeply with each
other, ourselves, and the surrounding beauty; a SlowLife Yoga lesson with
Sandrine, in the middle of the vineyards of the Fattoria and Villa di Rignana.
We talk more about the goals of that experience as well as what it was really like filming a reality TV show and how that unique, shared experience brought us closer to each other.

“Another way, in addition to Speakeasy, which I really suggest that worked for me is doing an activity that people who are like minded might do. That's the best way to build community because everyone's looking for it. It's one of those ironies of modern life that people feel disconnected and lonely, but we all have the same needs.” Miriam Hurley, on finding community in Florence.
In the second part of my conversation with cer Miriam Hurley we go beyond the intricacies of her métier and talk about making connections and finding community.
Reflecting upon the initial difficulties that she encountered meeting people and forging friendships in a city like Florence that sees so much movement within the international community, Miriam took action and co-founded, with Lexie Cimko, Speakeasy Multilingual Florence, which organizes multilingual language exchange events in Florence and offers a wealth of resources and advice to locals and visitors alike.
A true community builder and leader, Miriam is also deeply invested in facilitating the lives of temporary and permanent residents, locals and foreigners alike, whether it be through her translation work, Speakeasy Multilingual, or the multitude of information and connections that she offers in a sincere, welcoming, and very heartfelt way.
To this end, she also shares with us her vision for a versatile physical space that would serve the community in a multitude of ways by bringing together professionals who can offer various types of services as well as providing a venue for social, creative, and networking events.
Finally, as two long term US expats in Florence, we compare notes on the many ways the city has changed over the last couple of decades.

On Finding Joy and Living Life in Balance (Part II) Featuring Eleanor Walker
Season 3 · Episode 10
Friday, August 16, 2024 • Duration 31:45
“From my experience, there's a very different attitude towards careers here; generally speaking, your job doesn't define you. Whenever I speak to Italians, they never ask that as their first question, it’s never ‘what do you do,’ or ‘what's your job’? They're more interested in the life that you live around your job, which is a great thing, it's very commendable, so different from the way we are, so different.” Eleanor Walker
Join us this week for part two of my chat with Eleanor Walker, art historian and British expat living in Florence, Italy.
During our conversation, Eleanor and I take a deep dive into the reality of living in Italy, and the surprising magnificence that often, and thankfully, accompanies it.
We cover everything from how our cultures condition us, to how our adoptive culture changes us, and why we choose to go or stay. We also speak about the challenges of forging a career in Italy and transitory friendships, what defines us and brings us joy, Eleanor also tells us more about the current art and arts scene in Florence, and generously shares some of her favorite Florentine sites to visit and why she loves them so much.
Finally, we reflect upon the crucial role of art and culture in today’s world, the real challenges posed by hyper tourism fueled by social media, and what it means to live a life that so many view and experience as a dream.

“My plan was to stay in Italy until I was due to go back to work on the 1st of November, because that was when the furlough scheme was due to end. So, I thought, ok, fine, I'm going to stay. I don't need to be back in London, I'm going to stay here. I'll take some Italian classes, visit some museums, live a life of leisure in Italy because why not?” Eleanor Walker
In the summer of 2020, in the midst of the global pandemic, Eleanor Walker, an art historian originally from the UK, took a leap into the unknown and came to Italy hoping to find herself and joy again.
Through a series of fortuitous events and encounters, and a lot of personal initiative, resourcefulness, and ingenuity, Eleanor transformed what should have been a brief sojourn in Italy into the life she has made for herself in Florence.
In this first part of my chat with Eleanor, we speak about her journey, her work in the arts and as a performer, anhow she managed to find and forge community during an incredibly dark and isolating time for so many of us.
We also touch upon Brexit, the effect it had on Eleanor and her choices, as well as the trials and rewards of working in the arts today and living a life divided between two places that you love deeply.

“Chi di noi non si è trovato in una situazione di incertezza, sfiducia, incapacità di decidere, non vedere la strada, non riuscire a capire? Quali sono le cose per cui vale la pena impegnarsi? Chi di noi non si è trovato mai in una situazione di questo genere?” Matteo Perchiazzi
In questa seconda parte della mia conversazione con Matteo Perchiazzi continuiamo ad affrontare temi legati al ruolo cruciale che il mentoring ha in tutti gli aspetti della nostra vita, dalla scuola ai nostri percorsi personali e professionali. Quindi dedichiamo ancora spazio e tempo alle problematiche legate ai giovani, dando esempi e strategie concreti che possono essere di grande aiuto per genitori, insegnanti, mentor e mentee.
Durante questo dialogo, Matteo ci illustra l’importanza di avere obiettivi precisi ma anche quant’è fondamentale avere sogni grandi e la libertà di esplorare unacostellazione degli insegnamenti che diventano poi delle risorse preziose.
Inoltre, parliamo del mentoring nello sport e lo sport nel mentoring, i modi in cui il mentoring ha il potere di cambiare le dinamiche professionali e gli ambienti di lavoro, e se, come chiedo a Matteo, abbiamo tutti bisogno di un mentor.
Amanti del tennis, non vi preoccupate! Parliamo non solo di tennis ma anche un po’ del grande campione italiano, Jannick Sinner, e le lezioni che possiamo portare via dalla sua vita.

“La metodologia del mentoring da costrutto, proprio come base iniziale, fa sì che il Mentor metta a disposizione la propria esperienza non solo professionale, ma anche di vita.” Matteo Perchiazzi
Oggi giorno sentiamo tanto parlare di mentoring ma che cos’è realmente e che importanza ha il mentoring nelle nostre vite professionali, scolastiche e personali?
In questa prima parte della mia conversazione con Matteo Perchiazzi, Fondatore della Società Italiana di Mentoring, parliamo del suo percorso e su com’è arrivato ad essere uno dei massimi esperti del settore, per poi discutere quello che sta facendo attualmente per formare e guidare una nuova generazione di mentor.
Quest’episodio si focalizza sul potere del mentoring in generale e in modo particolare sul ruolo cruciale che ha nelle scuole per combattere la dispersione scolastica.
Affrontiamo insieme diversi temi: la fragilità dei giovani, l’emarginazione sociale, la delinquenza e la violenza, e come il mentoring offre soluzioni concrete per aiutare i ragazzi a rischio a trovare una via di uscita e raggiungere il successo.
