to your true self.”

Through my books, talks, and training sessions, I will remind you of who you truly are. That you don’t need to become anything. It’s all there. Sometimes all it takes is someone who dares you to challenge your own truths. You may get confused. I hope you will.

First, you will discover what you are not. That is where the path to self-realization begins. A turning point in your evolution is the point when you realize you don’t know who you are. Once you are there, all I need to do is remind you of your true self. You will not ever have to worry about your self image again. You will not have to worry about your what, how, or why. All that truly matters is who. All you will ever have to do from this point on is to be yourself.

Once you find the courage to become yourself and stay true to who you really are, everything else will find its way. Promise.

In all of my roles, I will go straight to the essence, while meeting you exactly where you are. From there, I’ll help you do what you need to do to truly be you.

I am

a writer.

First, I wrote “Broke.” It describes my personal journey, disguised as one from failing as an entrepreneur to succeeding, but secretly being my redemption from a shallow and illusory existence. Nothing that results in money problems, scarcity, or worries, is ever really about money, is it? Neither was this. In the book, I openly share everything I learned about entrepreneurship that I personally value, but underneath, it’s about value in all of its definitions and in its purest essence. So these lessons I learned from thinking I had lost everything, gave me everything. And I hope it will do the same -or just the bit you need- for you.

Currently, I am writing “Gurus in Sneakers“, a book that is actually writing itself. I deeply believe that -in this new era we are collectively shifting into- everyone is a guru. Everyone can easily access all the knowledge, all the insights, all the ideas in the world. Everything there ever was or ever will be is now within the reach of each individual, regardless of background, age, skin colour, religion, or location. With this book, I want to remind you of who you truly are, and help you to be present, and to wake up to all that was there for you to begin with.

a speaker.

I speak from the heart and from a higher level of consciousness. I will change the room. I never have a script. I can create titles and outlines if you prefer, but I do not need them. I prefer to create experiences. Just tell me what you would like to happen and I will do whatever is the right thing to do right there, on the spot, and for exactly those who are present in that moment.

I am also a TEDx speaker. My talk “10 things I learned after losing a lot of money” reached nearly a million views and led to several other talks. [The TED format demands that all speakers submit their talk word for word and then stick to it completely on stage. For that reason, these are not my best talks. My super power is presence.]

a facilitator.

I facilitate change. Presence. Creative energy. Real connections. Nothing I do is off the shelf. You may want an outline of what I will do and of the result of that. I’ll be happy to provide anything that will make the session better. What I don’t have, is a script. I will meet you exactly where you are and then lift you higher. As soon as the session starts, I will know exactly what to do. What people need. How to hold the space, keep the energy flowing, and create the best possible group dynamic. I may confuse people. I will always change something inside them. And they will always leave the room ready to take a first step. Usually towards something better.
