What Matters
Valentina says Politics matters because it "affects everybody's lives" and should be "utilized for the better of humanity," not as a means of exhibiting power.
Valentina says Books matter deeply: "I'm a writer myself" and her personal collection focuses on her expertise in "mindset, human behaviour and habits."
Valentina says Holidays matter because "no matter how high performers we are, we also need maintenance time, like the machines" — and she's eagerly looking forward to her own.
Valentina says Sport matters, especially resistance training, because "as we get older and older, it's very important to take care also of our muscles" for both body and mind.
Valentina says NASA doesn't matter to her right now because she doesn't "have a concrete idea about what they are doing at the moment."

Takeaways (8)
Organisations say one thing and do another — closing that gap is what I care about most.
How people feel at work is what shows up in their results at the end of the day.
Leaders who complain that their people lack ownership often don't show it themselves.
Male leaders still can't show vulnerability, and female leaders still can't fully show their strengths.
The closer you get to your own values as a leader, the better you actually become.
Even high performers need downtime — holidays are maintenance, not a reward.
Politics matters because it affects everyone's lives, but it should serve people, not power.
