Hi, I’m Daria 👋🏻
Welcome to my profile — November 2021
About me
I’m a Kiwi who loves to write, talk, listen, think and laugh.
I’ve been told that optimism is my super-power, and that my chocolate brownie is so good that it should be illegal!
You can read more in my full About Me story.
My most-read articles
While I’ve been writing for most of my life, I’m fairly new to writing on Medium. So I’m still building up a body of work here.
As I write more, I’ll come back and update the list below, so you’ll always be able to see my most up-to-date popular stories!
My five most popular stories recently are:
- The Road to 100 — Gratitude Post
- My name is Daria — and Liz dared me to write this
- My First Medium Payment Was $0.01 and I Was Delighted
- How Can We Deal With “Wicked Problems”?
- Ten Strategies for Having Great Ideas
What I do
When I’m not reading, writing and having conversations on Medium, you’ll find me running my business as a strengths-based leadership coach and trainer, running the kitchen at home because I love cooking and food, or running around the block, slowly but happily!
I’m on LinkedIn, Facebook and, occasionally, Instagram. I also regularly blog on my business website, and some of those articles find their way here.
I mainly write about “human stuff” — how our brains, minds, and emotions work, what we can do to make life and work better, easier, and more meaningful, and how we can learn from our past to build a brighter future.
I am open to collaboration
I love writing, reading, and connecting with others. If you think we might ‘click’ for a collaboration, drop me an email.
Inspired by other writers
None of us can do this alone! That’s why I’m always happy to acknowledge other writers who inspire me.
I was inspired to write my profile by Winston, after reading his one (below) and this article about why he thinks it’s important.
I’ve also been enjoying reading the work of, and interacting with, many other writers on here. It’s one of the things I really love about this platform — so keep writing, reading, and connecting — that’s what will help us all learn, grow, and find joy.
