Personal Development

For more than 10 years, Edmond has been deeply fascinated by the concept of personal development and bettering oneself through self-experimentation. Inspired by the likes of Steve Pavlina and Jim Rohn, he has constantly pushed himself to try new things and evolve in all aspects of his life.

His reading and research urged him to assume a different way of thinking which has propelled his career. This led to a mindset of working smart, focusing on providing value to the business, keeping track of successes and distinguishing himself from others. For these reasons he continuously thrived and implemented his moral pillars of adding value to the company he works for, effective interaction with internal and external stakeholders and excellent customer service. This approach extends to his role in training others, which he has done repeatedly for many of the companies he has worked for. This is especially true of his current position as COO, since he has personally trained and guided every single member of staff in his office for the past 5 years producing excellent results.

During the period he spent in the UK, he joined his first Toastmasters club, Northern Lights. Courtesy of Steve Pavlina, who was a Toastmasters member himself, he discovered a whole new world of self-empowerment and soft-skill development, which in turn further benefited his career through sharp communication skills and independent thinking.

In fact, upon returning to Limassol in 2016, he sought out a local Toastmasters club to join. The only active club in his area featured a very formal setting which seemed quite stiff for his liking, leading him to feel an incompatibility of perceptions. This is the story of how “Positive Minds” was born, the Toastmasters Club he founded and has managed for the past few years and whose goal is to bring people together in a safe environment with a less formal setting that fosters the exchange of ideas and promotes personal development.

In his personal life, Edmond has experimented with various lifestyles in an effort to optimize his physical and mental health as well as his output on life. These include an active lifestyle including Calisthenics and Parkour, which he loved during his time in London, a 7-day Water Fast, which he performed to explore his body and mind limits and challenge himself, as well as his journey to Veganism, which has been going on since 2019 and was motivated by both a wish to be healthy and a concern for contributing to the highly polluting and cruel animal exploitation industry.

Edmond also enjoys Latin dancing, a community he has been around for almost 10 years!
