The Heart of the Equation
A podcast for corporate professionals and managers navigating leadership, career growth, and the realities of the modern corporate workplace.
If you are mid-career, working in Switzerland or across Europe, and asking harder questions about where you are heading — this is a good place to start.
We have raw honest conversations about humans behind businesses: leadership, career transitions, company politics, and what it takes to move forward when the path is not obvious.
As an English speaking podcast based in Switzerland we cover specific topics of interest for the expat community seeking professional growth and career advice.
Our conversations draw from the worlds of pharma, life sciences, supply chain, STEM, and consulting — with guests and stories from inside some of the most demanding sectors in Europe.
New episodes bi-weekly.
We believe humans are at the heart of the business equation.
Let’s dive into the heart of what really matters.

The most difficult part of reinventing your career as an experienced professional is not a lack of skills or knowledge.
It is answering the bigger question: what do I do with all the experience, knowledge, and credibility I have built so far?
Our guest in this episode, Kasia Gajos is a former Deloitte and telecoms Senior Director turned high-performance coach.
She works with high-achieving women right at the decision they keep postponing. She left a high-performance track built over a decade in management consulting and telecoms, the same career she was winning, to help other women make that call and build a life that fits them, on their own terms. She made this decision after a year that took apart every assumption she had about what her life was supposed to look like.
This conversation is for experienced professionals who have built credibility over years and are exploring what their next career should look like.
They want a more intentional life and career, and getting there takes courage, self-awareness, and thinking differently.
What we cover in this episode:
🔹 The year Kasia's life suddenly changed
🔹 Why "finding your calling" is the wrong question
🔹 The mask most professionals wear at work, and the path to authenticity
🔹 What new managers get wrong about looking like "the perfect leader"
🔹 Kasia's invitation for those who are ready for rethinking their career
