9 Lessons I’ve Learned from Visiting 9 Makerspaces Across Europe

Sometimes, we just have to keep at it.

And this is what I've been doing this summer; spending time between Lebanon, Riyadh, and Dammam. Time to work, time to build, and time to spend with family and loved ones.

In this newsletter, two points: (1) I introduce one tool from 'The Courage to Fall' framework, and (2) the last step to finalize your LinkedIn article.

Have you ever felt the ground shift?

You didn’t expect the call. The numbers changed. The support faded. Something broke. You kept going until you couldn’t. Or maybe nothing collapsed. Things just slipped, quietly and slowly, until you realized you were no longer standing where you thought you were. You kept showing up. You stayed visible. But inside, something felt off.

These moments don’t always look dramatic, but they’re disorienting. A project doesn’t land. A familiar pattern shows up again. A relationship shifts. Or your energy disappears, and no one around you even notices.

Based on 'The Courage to Fall' framework, I'm sharing a tool that can help you monitor your performance. Whether it is for personal use or at work, this dashboard can bring clarity to your progress.

Use it when you feel stuck, or keep it nearby for when the fall starts to feel too familiar

Finalize your LinkedIn article.

This is the last step of this series. Once your draft is solid, it’s time for a final check. This step focuses on refining the message, tightening the structure, and ensuring it’s ready for publication.

Here’s how I guide people through it:

1. Get an outside perspective
Share your draft with someone you trust — a coach, editor, or peer. A second opinion helps spot gaps in clarity, tone, or flow that you might miss.

2. Do a focused final edit
Look for what can be clearer, shorter, or more direct. Ensure your core message is strong from the outset, and that each sentence reinforces it.

3. Check it against your style guide
Use your guide to confirm tone, structure, and word choice. This helps keep your content consistent across all your writing.

This step gives your draft the polish it needs to hold up in public. It brings everything together: your voice, your clarity, and your message.
