A truck, football and the Acre of Diamonds
It will come as no surprise that me deciding to study dentistry was not a “burning” childhood desire. Especially since I always hated both the dentist and the smell of a dental office. But spending my time winding transformers in my father’s garage gave me an idea that in dentistry I would be working with […]
What makes “Beginner with a Black Belt” a great read?
When I published “Beginner With a Black Belt” I was certain that nobody (other than some martial artists) would want read it because of the title. Boy, was I wrong. So I asked the people what makes it such a great read. These are the 5 reasons readers say this book became their favourite read: […]
What is your teddy bear?
While finishing my first book, it is fairly difficult to keep enough motivation for writing a blog. Yet today I was working on willingness chapter and a story from my childhood came to my mind so I decided to share it. When I was a child I had a habit of thumb sucking even though […]
Does your life belong to you?
Born and raised in Eastern Europe and living my life in Western Europe, it always astounded me how different we perceive life, love and belonging and how from all these different views we still make exact same mistakes.

It is not about winning, it is about not losing
Since I moved to Switzerland, my training is 50km away from my house, so I go to the dojo only on Sundays. I always joke with my friends: people go to church on Sunday and I guess my dojo is (in some way) my church. We anyway bow and show respect when we go in […]

When we work with clients in goal-setting we usually encounter two types of people. The ones who need to learn that they are enough. That they already posses the capacity to go for what they want, even though it seems (to them) they don’t have what it takes. With them usually we explain why in […]
The power of Focus
When I was starting my coaching business I needed a name and logo for what I would be doing. And I had a friend, a graphic designer, whom I contacted and asked to help me out with the logo design. Good friend as she is (and good professional as well), she started asking what my […]
De-crowning your circumstances
