I have spent the past 20 years working in education and human potential development, and I am endlessly grateful and joyful for the constant opportunities to learn—from the participants in my programs, my mentors, and the remarkable people in my life. Teachers are everywhere—if we remain open to learning. Every day, we encounter them. Some show us how things should be...
Recently, both my business and personal travels have been marked by a unique impression—EXCELLENCE IN SERVICE DELIVERY, which I've encountered across various industries and countries. I was genuinely impressed, and this experience led me to reflect on key aspects that I now want to share with you. Let’s begin with a question: Does EXCELLENCE in service delivery mean the following? Actively listening...
What does EXCELLENCE mean to each of us? It’s a question with countless answers, isn’t it? According to Collins Dictionary, excellence is defined as being OUTSTANDING, going beyond the average—in terms of intelligence, ability, and skills. To me, excellence means so much more… It is being aware of your MISSION and VALUES and living in alignment with them, allowing yourself to be...
"A person leaves their signature on everything they touch." Let me start by asking: How much do you allow your authenticity to shine through in everything you sign? How willing are you to live and express your UNIQUENESS? Or do you prefer to be a copy of someone else? Never forget—each of us is unique—through our genetic makeup, education, personal and professional...
In the 1930s, there was a young boy who loved eating sugar—and in enormous amounts. Concerned for his health, his mother decided to seek help and embarked on a long and exhausting journey with her son, walking for miles and enduring hours of travel.

But if we’re honest, that list usually includes more items like “I have to...,” “I should...,” or “It’s mandatory to...,” and fewer that start with “I want to learn...,” “I will...,” or “I will...
The creator of the term STEREOTYPES, Walter Lippman, defines them as images in our minds—preconceived ideas about phenomena, events, and people around us. He explains the nature and role of stereotypes, without attributing a pejorative connotation to them, in the following way: The pattern of a stereotype is not neutral. It is not merely a way to bring order to the...
I love the work I do. I enjoy the people I work with. I find joy in my workspace. Yet, it’s not always easy to stay energetic and inspired every single day. And so, questions arise within us… At moments like these, we need a bit of inner support, a smile, and perhaps a little extra spice. What we truly need...
Whether we want it or not, we are constantly communicating with the world around us. We don’t have to say a single word—communication flows… through a smile, a glance, a gesture, a sigh.
