A must read for anybody who wants a new look on what Europe can be and the diverse leaders moving it forward. Well done, a very rich book!

A true gem for a young professional like myself, just trying to figure out how to navigate the Brussels bubble. Not only does it give you confirmation that with an EU career you have chosen the coolest path out there – it also gives a refreshing cocktail of inspiration and concrete tips on how to tackle the challenges ahead.

Jaroslav, 23, from Slovakia

As a European studies student who has yet to visit Brussels, it’s the first time that I really feel on the pulse of what it’s like working in and around the EU institutions. It’s like a magnifying glass into the world of so-called ‘eurocrats’. A truly eye-opening reading reassuring that if your heart beats for changing the EU, you can still contribute with your vision, even if you don’t come from one of the most exclusive universities, silver-spoon families or large member states. They really are like us, not some pretentious weirdos speaking just legislative-gibberish with a funny accent.  

Hélène, 39, from France

Having already established a career within the EU-institutions I didn’t have too high expectations for what this book would give me. I couldn’t be more wrong. This is exactly the kind of conversation we need about the future of EU leadership if we want to jump-leap forward.

Been following Lucia and her podcast throughout the entire season – I love to see the passion, courage to bring the new and the light into the world of European changemakers. If only you had started earlier – maybe we wouldn’t be dealing with Brexit now? Loving the YouTube addition too – wish you all the best for Season 2!
