Values/ Philosophy
All my knowledge comes from the richness of my years of professional work experience in the US and Europe. In my practice I draw from knowledge of studies in Behavioral Science and Reflection from each Consulting and Coaching Assignment. Further I draw from following strenghts of mine:
​
Empathy
Intuitively, I am able to see the world through others eyes and understand their perspective.
​
Intellection
I like exercising the “muscles” of my brain, stretching them in multiple directions and think outside of the box.
​
Restorative
I enjoy the challenge of analyzing the symptoms and seeing patterns. I can identifying what is wrong, and strive to find a solution.
​
Connectedness
Yes, we are individuals, responsible for our own judgments and in possession of our own free will,However, I believe, nonetheless we are have all impact on each other and connected to a bigger community
