CHAIR REPORT

September is such an inspiring month. It feels like a second beginning, a chance to look with fresh eyes at the year ahead. That’s why our AGM falls in September.As detailed in our Summer Newsletter, this year’s Annual General Meeting will take place on Thursday, September 10th, 2026 at 19:00 at Luxembourg Business Park, 20 rue de Peupliers, L-2328 Hamm.We invite you to join us, hear the updates from across the Club and take part in shaping the year ahead. We have received a number of nominations for our next charities, which will be presented at the AGM, giving members the opportunity to vote for the two charities we will support in the coming year.If you cannot attend, we would appreciate it if you could please make sure to send in your proxy so that your vote can still be represented.Committee UpdatesIn my Summer Report, I encouraged everyone to try to slow down, recharge and enjoy the summer. While the BLC certainly slowed down a little, we couldn’t resist planning ahead and making sure we continued to strengthen different areas of the Club, while still managing to fit in some fun.I am therefore delighted to welcome Kristina Chilingarian as our new Club Secretary and Board Member, Chris Lunardi as Director of Events, and Diem Bui as Advertising Manager.Kristina, Chris and Diem have joined us in an acting capacity until the formal confirmation of their appointments at our AGM on September 10th.Kristina has already started her handover and onboarding, and we have been working together on preparations for the AGM. If you would like to welcome her, please feel free to contact her at secretary@blc.lu.Chris will be coordinating with our wonderful Event Managers as we plan the programme ahead, bringing together the different events and activities across the Club. She can be contacted at events@blc.lu.Diem will be working closely with our Treasurer, Editor and Webmaster on the administrative side of our advertising activities. She can be contacted at advertising@blc.lu.Please join me in giving a very warm welcome to Kristina, Chris and Diem.

BLC Summer Fun

We have extended our professional activities, but we certainly haven’t forgotten about the fun, and we don’t plan to.

On July 23rd, we met at Mirador for our monthly BLC Cocktail Night. I always enjoy our cocktail evenings. You never know where the conversations may lead. As many of you know, our Startup Pitch Evening was born out of a conversation at one of our cocktail nights.

I would like to thank our Event Managers for choosing yet another lovely location,

and for the work that goes into the reservations and registrations, and really for showing up and being there to welcome everybody on the evening. Memories of conversations on a sunny terrace become more precious when the first few raindrops begin to appear.

On July 26th, 2026, we had our BLC Summer Picnic in Echternach, organised by our wonderful Membership Team. Our Hiking Team led us around the lake before we settled down to picnic, chat, relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

If you missed it, don’t worry. We are planning to make the BLC Summer Picnic an annual event, so there should be another opportunity next summer.

Our Annual Gala

And now to another big date in our calendar.

Our Annual Gala takes place on Saturday, October 3rd, 2026 at the Parc Hôtel Alvisse.

This year we will have a renewed layout, with a DJ providing entertainment throughout the night. We will, of course, also have our Gala raffle to help us raise funds for our chosen charities.

As for the theme, think mystery and elegance. Prepare to put your most elegant foot forward and enjoy the evening. And hold your breath for our surprise dessert.

Registrations will open shortly via events@blc.lu, and we will send you an email notification with all the details in the coming week or so. As mentioned before,

please save the date. We need your support to help us continue organising these activities.

The Gala is one of the highlights of our calendar, and I hope to see many of you there.

Here’s to September, fresh beginnings and an exciting autumn ahead.

HEALTH ARTICLE

Know it. Get your numbers checked

Sometimes in midlife, you realise that you are the age your parents were when their health

issues started showing up and you wonder, is that going to be me?

You might eat reasonably well, move your body, sleep well enough, and still have blood

pressure, cholesterol or blood sugar shifting underneath all of it. None of these things tend to announce themselves. There aren’t always symptoms, but things might be changing in the background while you get on with your life, feeling completely fine. Even if you do feel

slightly off, perhaps a bit tired, it’s easy to put it down to a busy life.

A lot of my clients assume that if something were wrong, they would feel it, or their doctor

would catch it. Neither is reliably true. Your doctor can't monitor your health between

appointments, so knowing your own numbers and keeping track of when they were last

checked is an important part of looking after yourself.

I think it is important to know your:

• Blood pressure

• Cholesterol

• Blood glucose/HbA1c

• Waist circumference

• Resting heart rate (optional)

Understand it. What do these mean in the context of your overall health?

High blood pressure, cholesterol and waist circumference can be risk factors or indicators of increased cardiovascular risk especially if there is a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, stroke and so on. It is a reason to know your own baseline early, while you still have plenty of opportunity to act on what you find.

Getting your blood pressure checked takes just a few minutes. You may be able to have this done at your doctor's surgery, pharmacy, workplace or at home with a validated monitor.

One reading is a snapshot, so if it's raised, repeat measurements are recommended. Most people put it off not because it's difficult, but because there is no natural moment that makes you do it. After all, nothing hurts or necessarily feels different. So it stays on the list, indefinitely. HbA1c is also particularly useful because it gives an indication of average blood glucose over the previous few months.

And yes, sometimes the number gives you a bit of a jolt but numbers are information, not ajudgement. The earlier you know, the more options you have, and the less chance there is of this becoming a bigger problem

Act on it.

Once you know where you stand, it’s within your control. It could be about making one or two realistic changes rather than attempting a complete lifestyle overhaul. Things that consistently support healthier blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar over time:

• Regular movement - even in short bursts most days, rather than one gym session a week

• Consistent sleep- poor sleep is one of the biggest hidden drivers of rising blood pressure

• Managing stress load - because this affects your numbers whether you notice it or not

• Moderating alcohol- which has a direct and quick effect on blood pressure for some people

• Eating in a way that supports steady energy and blood sugar, rather than the extremes of restriction or convenience-food overwhelm.

The numbers don't exist in isolation. Age, family history, smoking, weight, activity, diabetes and other health conditions all contribute to overall risk.

You may already know that all of the above are going to improve your health. The difficulty is in working out exactly what applies to you. Knowing is the first step. What matters next is turning that information into action.

Your next move

Don't wait until something feels wrong.

Find out when your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar were last checked. If it's been a while, make an appointment and ask what is appropriate for you.

You don't need to become obsessed with your numbers. You simply need to know them.

Information isn't bad news it gives you choices. Know what is happening inside your body, not so you can worry about it, but so you can look after yourself.

Please get in touch if you would like more information or to ask for topics you would like to see in the magazine.

HR ARTICLE

Interviews in Luxembourg: Preparing with Confidence and Clarity

Last issue, we looked at building a sustainable job search. If that groundwork is paying off, you’re likely now facing the next milestone: the interview itself. For many women, this is where nerves creep back in — even after a strong CV and a promising first conversation.

This month, we look at how interviews in Luxembourg typically unfold, and how to walk into the room (or the video call) prepared, grounded, and clearly able to communicate your value.

Understanding the Luxembourg Interview Process

Luxembourg’s interview processes tend to be more structured than candidates expect, particularly in banks, insurance firms, audit firms, EU institutions, and larger international companies. A typical process might include:

• An initial screening call with HR or a recruitment agency

• A first interview with the hiring manager, focused on experience and fit

• A technical assessment, case study, or written exercise, depending on the role

• A panel or team interview

• Reference checks

Smaller companies and start-ups may compress this into one or two conversations. Either way, it helps to ask early in the process — “Could you walk me through your interview stages?” — so you can prepare accordingly rather than being caught off guard.

Language in the Room

Luxembourg’s multilingual environment often shows up in interviews themselves. It’s common for a conversation to open in French and shift into English, or to involve a mix of English and German depending on the team. Rather than overstating your fluency, it’s far better to be honest and specific: “I can conduct this interview in English, and I’m comfortable following French in meetings, though I’d want to confirm details in writing.” Recruiters generally

respect this kind of clarity far more than a confident claim that unravels three questions in.

Telling Your Value Story

Competency-based questions are common here — “Tell me about a time when…” — and they reward structure. A simple framework: Situation, Task, Action, Result (STAR). Before your interview, choose four or five examples from your career (including, where relevant, achievements during a career break — a relocation managed, a project led on a voluntary board, a course completed) and map each one to this structure. Practise saying them

aloud. The goal isn’t to sound rehearsed; it’s to stop searching for the right example mid-sentence, so you can focus on connecting with the person in front of you.

If you’ve been out of the paid workforce for a period, you do not need to apologise for it or over-explain. State it plainly, briefly, and move straight into what you bring now. One sentence of context is usually enough.

Salary Comes Up Earlier Than You Might Expect

In Luxembourg, compensation is often discussed earlier in the process than candidates anticipate — sometimes in the very first call with a recruiter or HR. It’s worth having a researched, realistic range ready before your first conversation, even if you’d rather leave the topic until later. We’ll go into salary and negotiation in detail next month, but for now: know your number, know your minimum, and don’t let an unprepared answer undersell you in the room.

Practical tips:

• Research the company, its structure, and recent news beyond the careers page

• Prepare 4-5 STAR examples covering leadership, problem-solving, and collaboration

• Clarify language expectations honestly rather than guessing

• Prepare two or three thoughtful questions for the interviewer — about team structure,

priorities for the first six months, or what success looks like in the role

• Avoid criticising previous employers, however tempting; keep the focus forward-looking

• Send a short, genuine thank-you message within 24 hours

• If no timeline was given, it’s appropriate to follow up after 7-10 business days

Confidence Is Built, Not Borrowed

If nerves show up despite your preparation, that’s not a sign you’re unready — it’s a sign this matters to you. Confidence in an interview comes less from having no doubts and more

from anchoring yourself in what you know to be true about your experience. Before you

walk in, remind yourself of one thing you’re genuinely proud of. Let that be the ground you stand on.

Final Thoughts

An interview is a two-way conversation, not an interrogation. You are also assessing whether this organisation is the right place for you. Walking in with that mindset — curious rather than desperate to please — tends to come across as exactly the quiet confidence that gets remembered.

MONEY MATTERS

Building a safety net far from home

I got sick a few years ago. Real, scary, life-threatening sick. My world was turned upside down and I was terrified. And through the terror, I knew there were things that I needed to do: move apartments and fly my family over from Australia to look after me. I knew I wouldn’t be working for an extended period, and I wasn’t sure how the healthcare and insurance systems worked in my new home.

So, in addition to trying to survive, I was also very aware of my financial situation.

It was a terrifying period of my life, but as I did my back the envelope maths on my unexpected expenses, I knew I was all good. I had a solid emergency fund, and I had investments I could draw on if necessary. What was an extreme health crisis didn’t also become a financial crisis. There were unexpected costs, but I had a safety net.

Crises happen. They come in a variety of forms – illness, job loss, relationships ending, accidents, breakdowns, toxic bosses.

They can feel bigger and scarier when you’re away from your family or support network… or navigating foreign systems.

And sometimes it’s not a crisis, sometimes there are joyful events you want to take part in – weddings, births, anniversaries… in another country.

Or even opportunities, holidays, setting up your own business, supporting your children through university.

But let’s focus on the crises, that’s what I’m here for today. All of these are easier to navigate when you have a financial safety net.

So how do you start? Here’s your eight-step plan:

1. Open a high interest bank account. (Investigate online banks which can have higher

interest rates than traditional ones but double check deposit guarantees.)

2. Call it something clear (and cool). You can usually rename accounts – think about

F.U. Fund or Just-in-case Jar.

3. Transfer €50 to start (or as much as you can afford).

4. Automate the transfer so it’s one of the first things that comes out of your account on

payday (don’t wait to see what’s left at the end of the month, you already know

what that is).

5. Continue until you have 3-6 months of savings (or whatever makes you feel safe).

6. Decide what counts as an emergency. And if you have other things you’re planning

for, set up more accounts. Call them something else cool and repeat the process

(think about holidays, Christmas, a new car, and those joyful events and opportunities

I mentioned earlier).

7. Replenish the account whenever you use it.

8. Revel in the fact that you’ve taken a step to protect yourself and feel secure.

While you’re in the glow of security, you can also research safety nets available in

Luxembourg (health insurance, pension, child support), to make sure you know what you’re

covered for. And book your mammogram if you haven’t had one recently.

CROSSWORD

What’s For Dinner?

Sound familiar?

Whether you live alone; as a family; in a shared house etc., either you are asked the question or you ask yourself the question … “What is for dinner?”

I don’t know about you - our members - but this question always gives me the fear of dread!

One of my children may have suddenly developed an allergy to gluten or decides they are now vegetarian. This happened overnight so the weekly shop that I did on Sunday doesn’t include anything that they want!

If you have young children, the “witching hour” can kick in from anytime and you need to make something quick, nutritious and not just pasta and pesto!

You live alone and are on your way home from work and realise there is nothing in the fridge - or at least nothing that you fancy cooking - and there’s no one there to even give you an idea!

I wanted to start this column to share some recipes to possibly help in some of these circumstances. I’d welcome input from our members too - I’m sure there are many of you out there who have that Go To meal that could help many of us in our hour of need!

First up, Annabel Karmel Chicken Curry

This recipe was developed by Annabel as a recipe for weaning small children. However, my children are now 19 and 26 but I still make this and it’s always a winner! It freezes well and keeps in the fridge and is lovely the next day warmed up with a bit of crusty bread

Ingredients:

1 apple
150g basmati rice
1 brown onion
1 clove garlic
100g carrots
2 chicken breast
1 chicken stock cube
50g coconut cream sachet
80g garden peas
1 tbsp korma curry powder
25g mango chutney
1 tbsp tomato paste
Vegetable oil
Salt & pepper

1. Add the basmati rice and 350ml of cold water to a pot with a lid and bring to the boil

over a high heat

2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-15 min or until all the

water has absorbed and the rice is cooked. Once cooked, remove from the heat and

keep covered until serving

3. Meanwhile, peel and finely dice the onion. Top, tail, peel and chop the carrot into

matchsticks. Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic. Peel and finely slice the apple

4. Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a

medium heat . Once hot, add the carrot and onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 4

min or until beginning to soften

5. Meanwhile, cut the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces

6. Boil a kettle

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper

8. Once the onion and carrot have softened, add the chopped garlic and cook for 1

min. Add the sliced apple and cook for a further 3 min

9. Meanwhile, remove the coconut cream from the sachet[s] and chop it roughly .

Dissolve the chopped coconut cream and chicken stock cube 400ml boiled water –

this is your coconut stock

10. Add the sliced chicken and korma powder to the vegetables and cook for 4 min or

until they’re browned all over. Add the coconut stock, mango chutney and tomato

paste to the pan, increase the heat to high and bring to the boil. Once boiling,

reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 min

11. Add the garden peas and cook for a further 4-5 min or until the chicken is cooked

through and the sauce has thickened to a curry-like consistency

12. Serve the fruity chicken curry over the basmati rice. Enjoy!
