"Improvement, development, growth"
Who am I, my general background, my values.
If, like me, one of the first things you ask a person you’ve just met is where they are from, then know that my easy answer to that question is “I’m Italian, but I’ve lived most of my life in Czech Republic” (the hard answer involves 6 countries, one non-state entity, and a ton of cities I never get around to list all). Perhaps in part thanks to my background I’m fascinated by cultures: their history, their language, their people… where do all the differences come from and how do they define us today. But as much as I appreciate the diversity, I’m aware of the several conflicts that it produces, so this fascination of mine goes hand in hand with a desire to bridge the differences and find ways to further cross-cultural and international understanding.
But not all is global communication. I’d say my main driving principle is continuous growth: striving every day to be better than the day before. I love learning, debating ideas, discovering new things and trying them out. If there is something that I truly fear is the day when my mind will refuse to dare to change. But growth is hard and we often need help along the way, so I make sure to be there for others when they need it – be it as a teacher, trainer, coach, or just a friend.
