Motiva

I have been passionate about leadership and leaders since I can remember. As a youngster, to experience leadership myself, I ran a political party for the school elections, I was selected as class delegate and football captain and I took advantage of every chance I was given to study the stories of great leaders from the past.

In my twenties, I was haunted by the question: “Are leaders born or made?”. I decided to run an experiment to prove that leadership was a learnable skill. Suffice to say that my hypothesis was proven almost completely wrong.

As a leaders’ trainer, I was discouraged by this discovery. If leadership cannot be trained, what is the point in leadership development?

It was only after training hundreds of leaders, later in my career, that a new idea blossomed in my mind: what if the key to leadership development was to first identify who can be a leader and train those to a more advanced level?

That is where my interest in executive search kicked in, and since then I have devoted a great deal of my time and energy to help others identify their leadership potential and become the best leaders they can possibly be.

Thanks to the leaders that have been kind enough to share with me their wisdom and time during this process, I have also grown as a leader. A process that it is still ongoing and, hopefully, will never end.

 

The world is craving for good leaders; I help those leaders to be where they can make a difference.
