get to know me
I believe in a world where humans and nature
are at the centre of our civilisation
I believe the economy should serve this wholeness
come into my world
I believe leaders, high performing teams and businesses have to understand their role in the society and their ecosystem. This begins with a journey towards self-awareness, interdependence and sustainability.
This not only generates a positive impact in the communities around us, it also allows our people to be intrinsically motivated by what we do. This will inspire them to come to work every day and allow them to live happier lives. It will also make working for you more appealing and give you a competitive advantage.
I believe whole humans are conscious of who they are and the impact they have on others and the environment. I believe consciousness and awareness are the path to evolving from a reactive life to a creative life.
I also believe in creating a collective intelligence, that the sum of our individual intellects is exponential and not only the result of adding individuals. I believe in sharing information and Co-Creating a better world as a result of it.
This is why I dedicate my life to helping leaders, their people, and their businesses to be the best version of themselves. I do so because I believe they are the source to change in the world. I believe working with you, leaders, has a ripple effect on society. My bet is that once you connect to the wholeness and to nature, you will not forget the experience in your everyday life.
In this pursuit towards consciousness I have other projects that serve this purpose. One project I love is called the City of Consciousness. It’s a real estate project to create our dream city, a city where humans, nature, continuous education, and sustainability are the axis of living together.
let’s get personal
I used to live running towards happiness, continuously searching for it in the next country, the next job, the next person. I was also running away from a dark shadow that was chasing me. One day I stopped running and turned around to look at my chaser in the eye. That day I discovered it was the happiness I had been chasing for so long.
I also used to follow someone else’s definition of success, I unconsciously lived for others, doing what they would consider successful, to get their applause. I studied law because it was what was expected of me. Later on in the corporate world, I looked for promotion because managing more people was what was expected from growing your career. Both made me completely unhappy. Since then I have learned to create my own definition of success. This makes me smile every morning.
For a long time, I believed that I had to play cool and not let my weaknesses be seen. To do so I created an avatar I performed from to interact and be liked. I realized later that the exact thing I did to be liked was driving me away from people because I was lacking authenticity. Now I try, and I fail every day, to be the most authentic version of myself. This has allowed me to have deeper and more meaningful connections.
I also used to believe you have to be tough and weather the bad times. I ended up getting hijacked by weathering the storm and I disconnected from my emotions and feelings. This didn’t only disconnect me from the negative emotions, it also disconnected me from the positive emotions. It gave me blind spots that were emotionless areas of my life. Resisting emotions made them persist. Now I’m on a journey to accept my emotions. I have discovered I’m more sensitive than I wanted to believe I was. I have also discovered that this allows me to feel others more and be more empathetic.
I have learned all of this after years of working, studying, and traveling. I’m an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC). I’m also a CTI certified CPCC coach. I’m certified as a Leadership Circle Profile practitioner by Leadership Circle. I’m also trained in the CTI Leadership Program and in Strozzi Leadership. I have completed the Executive Coaching Program by Unico. I’m certified in Bridge and Sikhona for team building. I’m also a Yoga Alliance certified Hatha Yoga Teacher. I have completed the EWES Wilderness Guide training. I was a lawyer and I have created several startups and businesses. I have lived in more than 20 countries. I love surfing and the mountains.
