A chapter in The COVID-19 Crisis and Entrepreneurship, 2022, pp 177-183 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter reflects on how I harnessed the opportunities afforded from the pandemic to advance on my own journey, rather than succumb as a victim. A key to transforming the crisis into opportunity for personal and professional growth was recognizing the gift of a Mentor-Mentee relationship and prioritizing the development through nurturing of this connection. Looking back, the pandemic paused a paralyzing challenge in a country like Germany, but also the unexpected opportunity to develop a special relationship with my Mentor, complete my PhD, develop our own inner selves, and start our new business together to serve and promote entrepreneurship.
