the BOX
… about life’s meandering ways and midlife dilemmas. I was contemplating career paths, leadership roles and overall personal development. There seem to be two types of career animals. The ones who know exactly which evolutional path to follow, having a target position in mind and working with every cell of their being to reach that […]
PCM-Process Communication Model®
What’s PCM®? A.k.a. Process Communication Model®. As I wrote previously, I have a very good personal relationship with PCM®. As all good relationships, this too started off on a rocky road. But the more I saw myself through the lens of PCM®, the more I started to love it. Based on my personal experience, I […]
MINDFUL or MIND FULL?
MINDFUL or MIND FULL? … about PRESENce The benefits of meditation have been proven for years. It’s a great tool for emotional self-regulation, used in schools and jails alike. When hearing the word meditation, most think of candles, incense and mantras. This is how we imagine meditation. Sitting in a lotus pose or lying in […]
SUCCESS
SUCCESS … about why goals fail I previously wrote about goals and the specificity required to chart out a strategy around them. This is enough to set them, but it is hardly enough to achieve them.

Change
… about who we (really?) are Starting from my personal experience, I think there is a point in any type of coaching or therapeutic process, when we ask ourselves: “is this really who I am?”.

CLOCKWORK
… about the way we sometimes tick Usually we are all well balanced, mature individuals, in full control of our actions, choices and behaviour. We are well rested, content, with our batteries fully charged and energised, ready to face all challenges that the world might throw in our face. We are untouchable, unstoppable and nothing […]
RESOLUTIONS
… about the “new year, new me” Well, not exactly new me, but definitely better. Let’s keep our fingers crossed… So, while trying to plan out my 2021, I started making a list of focus topics, to have a reminder of what is truly important. 2020 was an overall better than average year, so most […]
DISTRESS?
… about the pain not being big enough The other day someone reached out on Facebook, in a public coaching group, looking for some guidance. She was torn between what one does for living (making money) and what one would like to do as a profession, career, vocation, call it however best fits… The post […]
