#MegaWattMonday with Sophie Grulois, General Counsel at BPost

This week's MegaWatt with Sophie Grulois, General Counsel at Bpost

"Those who run, seem to have all the fun" is a lyric from Madonna’s song “Hung Up,” and it perfectly describes me. ‘Time goes by so slowly for those who wait.’: I couldn’t agree more! I’m a fan of Madonna’s discography. Growing up with her music, I value how she - out of nowhere and through hard work - (re)invented herself, putting her mark on my generation.

In her bestselling book ‘Grit’, academic and author Angela Duckworth states passion and perseverance are the two main ingredients for thriving. I am drawn to fast-paced professional environments that stimulate solution-mindedness, stress resistance, and resilience. I enjoy moving forward and challenging myself.

I’m purpose-driven and look forward to Mondays. To me, a new week means new action points and new challenges to accomplish. I love to motivate my team, transmit my energy, and empower my colleagues. Autonomy and common goals enhance team spirit. This is what you need, and this is what you must do: deliver the best possible service as a legal team. So yes, I reaffirm: Those who run, have all the fun!"
