The absolute priority in professional sphere is work, training, group, personality, the essence of Master, new technologies for myself and for passing them to others.

I try to gather all knowledge (somebody’s else, yours or some other’s) by grain: layer after layer, universe after universe… I then put it to my Workshop and want to cut it, perfect and manage to pass it to someone else.

I’ve forgotten almost everything that is not connected with a group, training, individual work, coaching, my current interests and intentions.

They say that once I was a Siberian boy then a student of a journalism department of MSU, philologist, taught in Narva, seriously was interested in mountaineering and tried to find the truth in Transdniestria, Balkans and Ossetia…Maybe, I don’t remember. But I can tell you for hours, in details and very passionately about dozens of groups, trainings, people who I was working with, about technologies I used and the ones my clients use now with pleasure and success.

I’m sure that on the one hand you direct your work, but on the other it directs and changes you.

We’re sad because we cry, we become angry because we strike, we’re afraid because we shiver and not vice versa. It’s a law of James-Lange.

It’s important for me not to conduct a training, I mean, not only to conduct a training, but first of all to achieve deliberate, predictable, purposeful changes in people.

I really don’t understand and can’t accept and professionally deny unjustified rush, “short programs” and “express teaching” while working with people. While speaking about the situation “hurry up, move forward” I remember a famous story that happened in the Himalayas when Sherpa guides were working not with extra-class mountaineers climbing on the 8-thousands-meters high, but with normal average western mountaineers or with good strong western tourists. And sportsmen were really well equipped and trained, but in one moment Sherpa guides who were not carriers started saying: “Let’s go slower”. For the question “why” they told: “Our souls are not in time”.

What is about different methods, psycotechnologies connected with controlling yourself or your partner, it demands lots of investing not only money, but time and demands keeping concentrated on the subject, reading some literature, and going to trainings. It demands work as every activity. It’s very far from the situation when you go in for karate for a week or earn a million in a half of the year, and at the same time you’re not freeloaders but partners…

During work a coach uses his personality as an instrument. It’s important that the personality of the Master lives in him, or revives in certain moments, or may live with him or instead of him.

There are moments when I can’t work because of some private inside conflicts or because it doesn’t sparkle and I don’t know to what star I should go to. Then I just go away to forests, water, gardens…

My world consists of work, cognition, knowledge, home, family, my wife, cognition, knowledge, work…

There were many people living in my body, whom I forgot. Now I’m here. It seems so… (laughing)

I’m a supporter of matriarchy. A person should do what he has to do according to his destination. Something like that anecdote about an Eskimo, going windwardin a boat with his wife sculling: “How it is for her — sitting there and just sculling… And I have to meditate on the future!”.

I love my wife. Just love very much.

My home looks like a piece of sun and warmth in the middle of some fruit garden.

I associate myself with a burning oily lamp. While I’m working there is another essence that starts burning like a fire of the wick.

I advise you to read a book “About the beginning of human’s history” of B.F.Porshnev edited by B.Didenko in Moscow in 2006, it’ll clear up from where and where we’re going.

I make my life more comfortable with love and efforts, there is a necessary minimum of valuable things for me. Then I become attached to them…I don’t like to throw them away!
