I have dedicated the past 20 years to becoming the best version of myself and thus building a system for enabling others to create and live the life they love.
On that path I’ve experienced, learned, practiced, and integrated in day-to-day life and work hundreds of tools, methodologies, and skills; I learned from top experts and worked together with professionals who are the best at what they do - all this formed the parts of a powerful puzzle - the puzzle of being a Relationship Architect.

Every project I did in the past flows into the core principles of my being and my work:
ALIGNMENT
The meaning of life is to become who you are, give your gift to the world and enable others to do the same.
INVESTMENT
The best long-term investment you can make is in yourself (health, energy, purpose, impact, productivity).
RELATIONSHIPS
The quality of your Relationships determines the quality of your life. (see Harvard’s longest study on happiness) Each person has their unique way to view and build relationships. With time one builds a complex net of realtionships. They are all interconnected. I visualize that system as a “Relationship Pyramid” consisting of 3 levels. Those 3 levels build on each other. One can only go to level 3. after mastering 1. and than 2.
DO WORK YOU LOVE
Doing work that you love is the best way to have a happy and fulfilled life.
1+1=3
When two or more people come together, there’s a unique encounter of opportunities happening. The ability to make those people’s character traits, experience, points of view, interests and other resources meet, brainstorm, enhance each other, and co-create the future, is the new currency.
PLAYGROUND
Life is a Playground. Every day you go there and meet the people you choose to play with, building things you want and can build, according to rules you create (or tolerate).
the 1st level
The 1st level, the foundation of the Relationship Pyramid, is about the relationship you have with yourself. It needs to be pure, authentic, unshakable and effective.
the 2nd level
The 2nd level of the Relationhip Pyramid is about the relationships we have with other people.
the 3rd level
The 3rd and top level of the Relationship Pyramid is about the relationships between other people, which we enable with who we are and what we do.
Here is what I can help you with:
