About this listen
When people ask Jonathan Berlan, global head of talent acquisition at Brussels-based biopharmaceutical company UCB, what he does for a living, his answer is simple: he tells stories.
Berlan is an avid reader who considers himself a storyteller at heart. For fun he writes restaurant reviews not to draw his audience to the restaurant but "to tell them the story of a meal I had there," he said.
But Berlan's most powerful story is deeply personal. One morning, he went to work feeling perfectly fine, only to return home later that day in agonizing pain. What makes his journey compelling isn't just the chronic pain itself but how he responded to it. Instead of letting it take control, Berlan made the bold choice to reshape his life on his own terms. His perspective is raw, unfiltered and refreshingly honest — offering a unique and inspiring way to think about living through the unimaginable.
Tune in to this episode to learn how a color-coded spreadsheet helped Berlan put pain in perspective and transformed his approach to both life and work.
