Who am I?

Professional background and experience

Influenced by the work of Martin Seligmann, Viktor Frankl and Charles Bentley, I am a Hungarian born expert in changing attitudes and managing talents with a focus on the CEE region, where attitude change is challenged by the post communist regimes and autocratically-wired cultures and where ‘learned helplessness’ is a common phenomenon.

As an OD expert, economist, mental health professional and a Unitive Life Coach I am also the founder of Symphony OD, a market-leading people development organisation covering the Central and Eastern European region. I have worked as a business consultant for 20+ years with sports clubs and senior management of top organisations such as: Porsche, Danone, AXA and Microsoft to name just a few.

I have delivered training programs, workshops and coaching for nearly 80 thousand participants and leaders to date, giving me immeasurable experience in the development of individuals, teams, corporate cultures and leadership.


Composer and Talented Pianist

I have been composing and playing piano since I was 5. For 30 years I have developed my craft, quietly behind closed doors. Hours and hours of practice and hours and hours of wrong notes, which I (usually) patiently corrected to ensure I could play the composition seamlessly and perform at my best, leaving my audience yearning for more.
