My intimate goldmine for leadership training metaphors
I am a climber and alpinist. Scouting introduced me to ropes and knots.
It also took me to the Tatra mountains when I was 15. I have been hooked since. I completed my mountaineering course on the Slovak side of the Tatras.
Later, I climbed the French and Italian Alps, in Swiss Jura, and in the Caucasus Mountains.
I tasted various types of rocks - from limestone to granite to sandstone - in numerous rock climbing crags in Poland, Germany, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Thailand.
Despite a couple of close calls, including one life-threatening accident, I have two decades of one of the most fulfilling pursuits I have experienced under my harness’s belt.
If you consider talking business at a climbing gym is a good idea, please do not hesitate to contact me!
In the silent majesty of the Alps, climbing becomes a meditation, revealing lessons beyond the reach of words. It teaches the art of striving for the summit, not as the ultimate goal, but as a journey towards understanding where true fulfillment lies. Ironically, fulfillment often dwells not in reaching heights, but in the humility and introspection found along the way. Here, in communion with nature, we learn about balance, the importance of precision, efficiency, non-verbal communication, patience, respect, and self-awareness from our silent mentors, embodying these virtues in every step back home.
