Interests beyond work
Human interactions at work may lead to shared interests beyond work.
Non-profit associations
I enjoy the positive dynamics of non-profit organisations, which I find, amongst others, in my board membership at the Luxembourg financial sector lawyers association (www.aljb.lu) and at the Luxembourg branch of the International insurance lawyers association (www.aidaluxembourg.org).
Jungian psychology
The psyche is fascinating, including the subconscious aspects of it. The work of psychoanalyst C.G. Jung and of its present followers conveys a positive view on human development and our search for meaning.
Wisdom traditions
Wisdom traditions inspire me to ponder on what is really important in life.
