Hi I’m Isabelle (with an e) and welcome to my amazing state-of-the-art newsletter! Here you’ll find everything I’m working on, things I find cool and shower thoughts. Because who doesn’t want to tell the world about them?
Who’s ready for the holidays? (points if you‘ve already baked cookies) and who’s ready for winter break? Both? me too. But even though I love December and as I’m writing this I long for my reindeer antlers, November was crazy. The good kind.😌
TKS
AKA The Knowledge Society. And for those who don’t know already, it has been a complete game-changer for me. It’s not an extra-curricular, it’s a lifestyle that you adopt over time and it will accelerate you for life. I’ve built some great habits like waking up early and starting your day intentionally
🧠Big brain moments

be intentional
stay curious
TKS City Challenge
Who knew drafting a legit storyboard would take three weeks? My team and I created a recommendation for Instacart to improve their customer experience. Although we started out weak, with the help of team culture and organization we ended strong and gave 110%. Our idea was to improve three aspects of Instacart’s customer service. Intrigued? Go and see for yourself!
🔑Takeaways

organization and establishing team culture is essential
we all need a bit of sustenance.
I Published an Article😎
Yes, you read that correctly. As I begin to explore the enormous umbrella of the science behind our body, I started with how we think and behave around our emotions. My article introduces emotional intelligence and that it’s just as important as our cognitive intelligence, despite what our society may think. Sounds fascinating? Take the step and read it!
Winning a Global Hackathon!🥈
My hackathon team and I won 2nd place in the OHH Global Hackathon! We participated in the Influenza track and our recommendation was to build a program that would go to impoverished farms and inform them of sanitary food practices and health. Sounds cool? We thought so too.
🔑Takeaways
planning. lots of planning
every second counts, literally
your first idea won’t be the best
Goals for December🎄

"Go to bed, you'll feel better in the morning" is the human version of "Did you turn it off and turn it back on again?"
