Netflix’s “ Emily In Paris” has been a feast for our eyes from the stunning Parisian backdrops to Emily’s attractive and desirable wardrobe. For those who have watched this show , have you noticed this shown not only offers blitz and glamour , but also offer wisdom and advice about life, love and your career. In this post I’ll unpack five meaningful life lessons one can learn from Emily’s adventures in the city of light.

Embrace cultural difference

Moving to different country can be very challenging, especially when you do not speak their language or a matter of fact when you do not understand their culture . In the early part of this show, we get to see Emily’s mistakes and blunders like mispronouncing French words or how she found it difficult navigating a difference in culture in workplace. This teach us the importance of humility and openness. Emily does not get discouraged by her initial mistakes , instead she would learn to adapt and appreciate French culture and the French way of life. What we can takeaway from this is that when we step into an unfamiliar territory , we should learn to approach it with curiosity and respect. Remember growth only happens when we step out of our comfort zone.

Perseverance Pays Off

Throughout the show Emily faces a lot of challenges from pitching bold marketing ideas to handling skeptical colleagues. She does not give up. Instead of giving up , she tries to prove her worth through her creativity and determination. Her persistence would turn initial critics into her allies. This teach us that , trough our hard work and persistence we can win people over. The key takeaway is that one should believe in themselves and in their ability, even when others doubt them. Consistency is the key that often leads to breakthroughs.

Workplace Dynamics Require Tact

This show highlights the importance of how one should understand and navigate workplace dynamics. The highlight of this show has always been Emily’s workplace relationship, especially her relationship with her boss Sylvie. Sylvie would initially be cold to Emily. Her initial coldness remind us that mutual respect should be earned and it takes time. Emily always tries to be professional while proving her value. This ultimately strengthens their relationship over time. The takeaway from this is that building rapport among colleagues requires a lot of patience and time. You should always be open and try to understand your colleagues perspectives.

Work-Life Balance

We should definitely admire Emily’s dedication to her work but sadly as a result of this her personal life suffers. It can be very challenging when we juggle relationships , friendships , and career ambitions all at the same time. This show remind us that a balance between work and life is important if you want to be happy in the long-term. The key takeaway from this should be that one should prioritize self-care and should make time for their loved ones. If you really want to have a fulfilled life, then you must learn to balance work and life. Don’t make your life all about work.

Take Risks In Love And Career

We should learn to take risks and chances. Emily’s various romantic escapades are really colorful just like her outfits. She is willing to take risk let it be pursuing a potential love interest or pitching an unconventional marketing idea. We get to see that because she is willing to take risks she would get experiences that would her grow. Takeaway from this is that you should never let fear hold you back. Some of the life’s best moments would happen to you once you step into the unknown.

Emily In Paris is not just a binge-worthy show , it is a playful reminder that life’s challenges and victories usually go hand in hand.
