I am of Greek origin, born and raised in Montreal, and my career has taken me across the globe, working in Italy, France, Germany, Greece, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates. Fluent in five languages, I have had the privilege of connecting with diverse audiences worldwide, delivering insights on self-leadership, empowerment, and personal transformation. My work integrates ancient Greek philosophy with modern neuroscience, helping individuals and organizations cultivate resilience, confidence, and inner balance.
🏆 Education & Career Transition
My journey began in international banking, having studied at the Chartered Institute of Bankers in London and worked in corporate finance at Barclays. However, my passion for human potential led me to a second career in psychology. I earned a Master’s in Integrative Psychotherapy from Middlesex University and a Doctor of Philosophy, becoming a member of the American Alliance of Hypnotists. Over the past 20 years, I have coached and trained thousands of individuals, guiding them from anxiety and anger to calm, confident self-leadership, inspired by the Socratic principle that "In order to lead others, we must first lead ourselves."
🎤 Public Speaking & Media Presence
Beyond one-on-one coaching, I have had the honor of being a speaker at corporate and social events worldwide, as well as producing webTV shows, books, seminars, and guided meditation films that have impacted over 1.6 million people. My expertise has been recognized across major media networks, including CBS, CNN, FOX, NBC, Al Jazeera, and The Washington Post. I have also appeared as a host, expert, and guest on numerous television programs in Greece, where I was known as "The Positive Energy Coach." In 2019, I co-organized STOICON, an international Stoic philosophy conference in Athens, leading to the creation of the "Plato’s Academy" project at the original ancient site.
📖 Authorship & Recognition
As an author, I have written books such as 'From Fear to Freedom', which introduces my AGIO Method®, and 'Best Seller', which explores the art of influence and persuasion through Greek philosophy. My work has been endorsed by renowned figures, including Steve Wozniak, Dr. Drew, Nadia Comaneci, Jason Silva, Priscilla Presley, and Arianna Huffington. Whether through speaking engagements, coaching, or philanthropy, my Mission remains to inspire individuals to embrace their highest potential and lead with wisdom, courage, and integrity.
