Self-Study: ‍

I am deeply passionate about leadership and group facilitation, with extensive self-study encompassing over 40 books and numerous other resources. My studies focus on:

• Personal and Professional Development: Insights from Alain de Botton and practical applications from Harvard Business Review on emotional intelligence, and playful experiences with improv.
• Philosophy and Mindfulness: Learning from the works of Victor Frankl and the principles of Buddhism.
• Coaching Techniques: Exploring various methodologies from Reboot.io, NonViolent Communication, Conscious Leadership Group and understanding the commitments to conscious coaching.
• Community Building: Studying the art of gathering from authors like Priya Parker and Vivek Murthy to enhance group cohesion.
• Healing: Delving into the emotional development and healing processes with guidance from Brene Brown, Dr. Nicole LePera, Lewis Howes, and others.

‍

My take aways:

• Mastering the art of speaking consciously and honestly, employing a rich vocabulary of emotion words.
• Excelling in guiding conversations that are both light-hearted and profound.
• Cultivating an environment where people feel heard and understood.
• Empathetic leadership: Reflecting on my own experiences to better relate to and support others.
