When I landed the advertising job I had always dreamed of, I began to question whether it was the life I wanted. In my TEDxYildizTechnicalUniversity talk I share the journey that questioning started. I focus on noticing the cycles we stay in at work and in our personal lives, understanding what we value, and making room for change.

I have brought together my talks on AI, learning and the transformation of working life, and the interviews in which I share experiences from my entrepreneurial journey.

When founding Tezgahçılar, we wanted to bring a more dynamic and participatory approach to adult learning. In the Platin interview, I describe how that idea developed and how manual processes in learning and event management played a role in our founding KATALOQ. The impact of digital transformation on behaviour and the use of artificial intelligence and neuroscience in learning are also among the topics I cover. The interview reflects my search for ways to bring different disciplines together and develop learning around participants’ needs.

The shift to remote work changed how teams communicate and what they expect from managers. On Mikrofonda Gözde, I look at this change from both the employee and the manager side. Speaking about working hours, uncertainty, motivation and mutual trust, I also share my own experience of managing a team. In the second half of the conversation, I explain how at Tezgahçılar we turn organisational needs into learning and game design, why we redesigned face-to-face experiences for the online environment, and which need in the industry KATALOQ grew out of.
