Leadership and Poetry Series

It’s written for leaders — to reconnect with a kind of truth they already know, but often struggle to live.
Wisdom can get lost in information. Lost in what society has become: infobesitas.

I write as a poet-in-the-making.
I try to cut through complexity and speak as much truth as possible.

Professionally, I work in leadership development — but I also share what feels true to me. A mix of the mystic and the real: Kabbalah, Gurdjieff, Santana, Pink Floyd, and my hip-hop teachers — Guru, Nas.

Writing was always my weakest subject.
And still, I speak six languages.
I write in Roman script, Hebrew, Arabic, and Chinese.
Yet I’m often too slow to capture all the points I want to make.

If you work in leadership development or corporate communication and would like to use these poems, feel free to reach out. Some of my poems now hang in hotels, leadership boutiques, and are used in a university of applied sciences.
