The speaker reached out for support from a colleague due to their interest in well-being, despite not being part of HR but working in data analytics. They initiated a well-being program within the bank to address the impact of current times. The program includes monthly challenges like reading and writing, aiming to promote healthy habits. Internal experts lead sessions, such as on sleep habits. The speaker shared examples of colleagues who wrote books and invited the colleague to contribute to the initiative. They also expressed interest in interviewing the colleague and potentially hosting a live session. The program focuses on personal responsibility and accountability for well-being. Okay, thank you for taking time for this topic as well, I really appreciate it and I'm super excited to get your support and insight. To be honest, I dared to reach out to you because I know Fadim and we even made together a learning session on the behavior patterns. She is an amazing colleague of mine, so she was really talking, talking really warm about you. So, and knowing, and I follow you on LinkedIn and I saw it, I mentioned, I read some posts and I saw that you might be the right person to reach out to, to support the initiative and just to give you a bit of background and you might wonder, like, I'm not part of HR, I'm GDMO and we're doing data analytics and data management in the bank, mostly working with regulators and business division group functions. But my passion is also well-being, I, like, for myself and for my family and actually it's part of everyday life, regardless where I am. And considering the situation or the times we're going through, as a bank, as every individual with all the news which come on top and to social media, I thought that this initiative could support us and as HR already have some guidelines, like, they're talking about it, but no one is, like, I had a sense that no one walks the talk or at least not sharing their stories and that's how the initiative was born. My management team supported me, so let me show you just briefly what it is and let you know where it belongs and I believe that it will have also some sustainable trends. So, just to give you, again, kind of overview, the name, the sponsors on the right side for every month initiative. I call it a challenge, but it's kind of a way how we can implement this healthy habit and one of the topics is, as I mentioned to you in the chat, is reading. Reading and we connected it with writing because we found so many talented people in our organization who wrote books next to their everyday life and we found it really inspiring. And then, of course, we could not ignore you as our possible, let's say, candidate or expert because you're writing your profession, right? And that would be extremely exciting to see the way how you organize your day, your habits and what is it actually, how you process this complex information, how you, what do you have routine around writing and I know you wrote a children's book, Economy for Children. So, you need to be kind of having certain mindsets. So, we'd like to get to know more and me personally and I believe the whole team behind this initiative is a well-being ambassadorship or ambassadors. We organize e-mails and otherwise GoTo also supports us and we promote it for the whole UBS, but we don't send out corrective e-mails. So, whoever finds us is welcome and this month it's all about sleep. So, for example, just to give you a bit of a sense what we're doing, we organize sessions. We find internal experts. Of course, we have a sleeping expert who has a full-time job, but we have also UBS PhD doctors who wrote their dissertation around sleep. So, that's also Maurice Goldie, for example. He's a computer scientist who's working in IB and he's a lawyer scientist. So, we had luck finding him and asking him to offer a session for us on the sleep habits and how it actually works, like normal science behind it. So, with every topic, we try to find our internal people, right? It's inspiring, it's closer to us and for reading, I shared with you the link, but in case if you didn't look, we found colleagues in Switzerland. Shikita, for example, she wrote a story about Kosovo. She was even invited to Harvard to present her book during COVID. I think the minority of experts, but people from Kosovo is really big around the world and she's talking about the identity, so it's a really big topic. This is the memoirs. One colleague from the U.S. wrote about, he wrote it in Chinese, but he grew up in the U.S. and he wrote it about his mom. We have a kid's book and then we have another author I didn't publish yet. We would be honored to also have an interview with you here. We don't publish, thank you. We don't publish what we don't do just for you to give you a bit of a sense. I mean, I basically always find a quote which is inspiring and can add a bit of the sense for the interview and it's available, like some people provided us a presentation about the book. We don't expect it from you, but yeah, so basically I will just write this interview. I would love to have maybe a live session with you eventually. I don't know whether you will be willing to dedicate the time, but thank you. That would be amazing. Maybe we could invite the colleagues from London and make a stream, but that would be maybe one of, we can plan it additionally. It was all about hoping to talk about making the change happen, taking the responsibility and acting accordingly and make yourself accountable, right, and not someone else. So that's, thank you. So, you have any questions around, no? That's clear. Thank you. Well, once we start with questions, I already prepared some, so that will be the first one. I read about you, some information online, but I think that I will leave you, I mean many people from UBS, our colleagues know who you are, but it will be interesting to know what actually inspired you to start writing and how did you start your journey as an author? I'm sorry, can you turn on the co-pilot? I just realized I didn't press the button to record. Thank you so much, because I didn't record, I don't have the right to record the visual, but I have the co-pilot to activate. Can you, okay, apologies. Yes, now, you might need to restart your cam and unmute yourself. Hi, so you're still on mute, and thank you so much. Maybe I will start again. So, the first question to you would be what first inspired you to start writing and how did your journey as an author begin? I've been writing for a long time. So, when I was thinking about writing, I came across a book, it's called Wings of Love by the Christmas. So, I thought, you know, that's what I'm doing, that's what I'm suggesting, that's what I'm writing. And, actually, what I was trying to do, what I was thinking as well is, you know, what's the most likely presentation, if you give a presentation, about how the current crisis is likely to affect safety, if that safety is possible. And, the two of you and I put together a lot, a lot of things. So, we did a lot of things. So, when we stopped writing, we read a lot about the crisis, and for that, we used the idea of writing a book. Yes, we did. And, that's the first thing. Now, the last time I wrote was when I was in Harvard. And, that was when I was in Harvard. And, that was when I was in Harvard. And, that was when I was in Harvard.
