Coaching thoughts: …on being human and intra-specific violence
I had a quiet day today, reflecting on this animal called HUMAN …I find us quite interesting. I thought about wolves, Lions, elephants, baboons- at first my hypothesis was that as HUMANS we are the only animal species that kill, maim, steal and manipulate each other.

Coaching Thoughts:….of parenting in the 21century…part 1
DearParents I KNOW it’s not easy (I’ve been there) but when you send your child to university, especially if they are very far away from home, please make sure they have all the basic necessities to keep their dignity.

One of the more interesting phenomenon I experience whenever I introduce myself is the question “Where are you from?” or more accurately “Where is home?” Many times I struggle to answer that because my origin identity orientation is rather warped. I never really learned to answer that question simply. So inevitably I would precision my … Continue reading
