The Hero with a Myriad of Faces
Happenstance or not it strikes me how often I got into this subject lately. Prompted to me by others in multiple circumstances, I wanted to grasp more – why the need? why the curiosity? why the relevance? why now? why…? – this new understanding of what is a hero (anymore) or better yet what makes […]

Resilience case study – Sailing around the world
How can you make people become aware of what they feel, think and act? How can you make people realize what’s their perspective of the surrounding world? And how can you make people transform themselves, changing perspectives, acting differently and strengthening their will? These are some of the questions that we seek answer to, in […]

2021: Reimagining the future of training
8 months from now on we will have enough vaccinated people so we can open the training rooms. People want to experience again the classroom training, for their needs of human connection, but virtual training is cheaper. What will be the best solution for training and development in 2021?

When resilience meets adversity
Resilience is a hot topic these days and it’s going to be so for a while. Before getting to theory and practice, I’d like to share a story that shed some light for me on the subject: A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so […]

A Practical Resilience Guide or When a Kick in the Pants Is a Step Forward
Today I have a discussion with Costin, one of my partners in my current consulting project. Knowing that I have to write an article about resilience, I am interrupting the scenarios definition we are working on and I am asking what the “resilience concept” means to him. The first thing he tells me is that […]

Thinking out of the box. Robin Hood as a businessman

While the first articles took a closer look at training effectiveness from business relevance, manager and the process itself, this reflects the trainee perspective. Maybe it is the most relevant one for the reader and it reflects the level where it […]

About the New Year Resolution
It’s that time of the year, again. But with a twist. We have never had a year like this and so, the new year resolution has a different meaning and different preconditions. Every time I do this, I start with a view of what happened through the ending year. Accomplishments, failures, emotions, health, contribution (to […]

Cum să scrii un mesaj de Crăciun autentic și revelator

Gestionarea Crăciunului … și a vieții într-un an special!
Mișcarea ca lege fundamentală a ființei umane „πάντα ρεί” (gr. „Panta Rhei”, rom. „Totul curge”) ne-a lăsat scris Heraclit din Ephes acum aproximativ 2500 de ani.
