Welcome to my webside

After twenty years of working as a FX option trader at Caixabank, in 2020 I decided to include one of my passions in my professional life: sharing some of the strategies, techniques and knowledge that have been and are useful to me to cultivate a fulfilling life.

That new journey helped me rethink many things and, finally, gave me the definitive push to change my job. With fear and doubts. But I did it. And since 2023 I am enjoying a new job that if it did not exist, I would have designed for myself. A job of being at service, where there is nothing in me that I do not have to put into action to do it.

This is why I now think about what I offer as: all terrain knowledge to get you where you want to go.

Because you decide what you want (take action, cultivate calm, change jobs, manage stress, boost your career, communicate efficiently, lead) and Epimeleia provides you with the actionable knowledge that will take you there.

My compass





I embarked in the path that has taken where I am today  many years ago, when I entered the world of work. At first, my goal was to learn how to manage stress and survive social interaction.





Gradually and almost imperceptibly, this initial objective was transformed becoming what I summarize as “cultivating a full life.” Eudaimonia, ataraxia, plenitude, perhaps even nirvana: these are terms that I visualize as having the same flavour as living a life self-perceived as complete and meaningful.





This cultivation of a full life is also reminiscent of the Greek concept of Epimeleia heautou (ἐπίμέλεία ἑαυτοῦ) which refers to taking care of oneself, taking care of oneself, studying oneself; not with the selfish objective of obtaining things from the world but with the idea of being in harmony with it and taking care of it.





This search also led me through a very diverse range of training: psychology, martial arts, meditation, yoga, pranayama, relaxation, coaching, soft skills, writing, to name a few.
