Consulting

What I do: I help leaders, teams, and organizations articulate their strategic narratives through brand manifestos, corporate culture documents, mission statements, values or vision declarations, and keynote speeches.

How I Do It: My favorite approach is to integrate 10+ interviews into a unified document. However, I’ve also facilitated this process  as a moderator during strategy off-sites.

Also: I support leaders in developing their personal strategies and personal development plans. If you're looking for a "Hogan / Big5 Analysis" or assistance with "Creating a Personal Development Plan," I can help with that too.

For over 15 years, I’ve been delivering presentations, teaching at business schools, and conducting workshops on presentation skills, critical thinking, and personal strategy.

I’ve spoken at numerous conferences in London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Sofia, at Harvard Business School, twice at TEDx, and at many Russian and international conferences on HR, training, and marketing.

Here are examples, offline and online. I’m based in Lisbon but travel freely. You can explore my programs and topics here →.
