𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫! 🚀 After four semesters, including an exciting semester abroad, I’m thrilled to have completed my M.Sc. in Business Administration. My studies concluded with my master’s thesis: 📝 “The effects of different models of the four-day workweek on organizational attraction: An experimental study” Key insights from my research: ✅ The 4-day workweek significantly increases organizational attraction. 🕟 Reduced working hours as part of a 4-day week also positively influence organizational attraction. 💰 Salary reductions as part of a 4-day week do not negatively impact organizational attraction. 🤷🏻♀️ Whether employees have a fixed day off (e.g., Friday) or flexibility in choosing their day off as part of a 4-day week has no effect on organizational attraction. Big shoutout to catchHR, Marco Verhoeven, Justin Bous and all my other colleagues for their incredible support and encouragement during my time working on my thesis! 🙌 I’m excited to now continue my journey full-time at catchHR and look forward to everything that lies ahead. 🚀

I had so much fun at the Labor Day Lift Off event in Colorado Springs with my wife and two youngest kids. Labor Day Lift Off is a beloved tradition here in Colorado Springs. It happens every Labor Day weekend, and each year it gets better and better. It’s completely free and around 70 hot air balloons launch each year. Families are welcome to walk among the balloons as they’re being inflated. There was plenty of entertainment for the kids, and some of the balloons were “kissing” the surface of the beautiful Prospect Lake. It was quite a sight to see these majestic balloons almost dip their toes into the lake as if they were playfully teasing the water. But it wasn’t just the balloons that made the day special. As I looked around, I saw the kind of community spirit that you don’t always find in everyday life. Families, friends, and even complete strangers came together to share this unforgettable experience. Everyone was in high spirits, eager to snap photos, and excited as each balloon took off. There’s something profoundly humbling about watching these enormous and colorful orbs defy gravity. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best things in life are the simplest: good company, a little bit of wonder, and the chance to take a well-deserved break from the usual hustle and bustle. We can all take a cue from these hot air balloons. They’re all about rising above, enjoying the moment, and appreciating the ride. Whether you're taking on a new case or just navigating through daily challenges, remember to lift off with a sense of adventure and optimism. After all, even when you’re not sure where you’re headed, it’s always worth enjoying the view along the way. So here’s to the Labor Day Lift Off and all the little moments that remind us to appreciate the beauty in our everyday lives. If you haven’t experienced it yet, put it on your list for next year; you won’t regret it. As you go about your day, think about this: Are you taking the time to savor the moments that lift you up, or are you so focused on the destination that you’re missing the magic along the way?
