and to involve people in projects. As an open-minded person, I am always ready to solve
problems, being tough and steady in emergency or unexpected situations, without losing my
organizational abilities.

I’m working to keep my gaze fixed on the talents I’ve received, so as not to feel disheartened
in some adverse situations. Courage, strong-will and love are my resources for this intent. I’m
also working intensively on my occasional harshness which comes out sometimes even when I
try to help people or to offer my compassion. Sometimes, I have tendency to feel powerless
when I perceive people behaving aggressive and I’m working hard to have more constructive
reactions.

When it happened occasionally to me to live in a team/community, I had the surprising
experience that people trusted me and spontaneously opened up to me. I worked in a team
primarily during my time in politics and TV. In both cases, the good experience was reciprocal
stimulation on keep going toward the goal and, when tired, the feeling of been united. From
bad experiences I have learned to insure people feel included early on to make team
successful.
