I work with hundreds of professionals ever year.
The main challenges they face are strikingly similar: they realize that they work in chaotic environments and that they need more sophisticated skills to lead their teams, develop more effective strategies, and solve complex problems.
I’ve distilled the core principles and methodologies I usually provide into a series of workshops and training programs.
These are challenging, intense, and packed with transformative ideas.
“I found myself at a crossroads but Avy’s exercises helped me focus my intentions and redirect myself in a way that I was very happy with.”

Workshops
90-minute interactive sessions, rich with powerful ideas and innovative tools to drive your team’s progress.
The rise of the unorthodox manager
A manager’s job is to deliver results.
They must also manage people, oversee processes, solve problems, and navigate relationships with colleagues and partners — all while avoiding burnout or stagnation.
It may seem superhuman. It isn’t, but it calls for a thoughtful approach.
The workshop invites participants to challenge outdated leadership dogmas and experiment with a new set of management principles and practices deeply rooted in profound lessons about how we work, manage, and develop.
The gardener and the architect: dynamic strategy
We’ve been told that good strategy is detailed, predictable, and entirely controllable. Those are not strategies: they are monuments to plans that died before they could live.
The alternative is a dynamic, creative, breathing approach that treats organizational strategy as a living ecosystem: manageable but continuously evolving.
In this workshop, we’ll explore how to adopt such an approach and experiment with strategic development methods that truly deliver results.
A team of lifelong learners
Sporadic training sessions are corporate anesthesia — it numbs but never heals. They won’t make your team competitive and definitely won’t transform them into “lifelong learners".
If you want your team members to be on a path of continuous growth and gain a competitive edge, you must equip them with the capacity to take ownership of their own professional development journey.
During the workshop we’ll distill wisdom from adult learning science and translate it into training and management methodologies. You’ll leave with recipes to accelerate the learning capacity of your team.
Solving chaotic problems
Bad problem-solving is reactive, mechanical, and drowning in irrelevant noise.
Good problem-solving reduces the likelihood of the issue recurring, while fostering new skills within the team.
This workshop provides a bold framework to resolving complex problems: from defining the issue and experimenting with creative solutions to ensuring the problem doesn’t resurface.
It’s like a vaccine against organizational dysfunction.
Training
Transformative, hands-on training, designed to challenge your team and accelerate their professional development.
Fundamentals of unorthodox management
The modern manager’s experience often feels like navigating chaos.

Professionals who achieve extraordinary results are those who invest in their development while integrating it into their daily work. How can we design personal and organizational habits that encourage this mindset?
The rugged landscape: Why effective organizational learning is essential in dynamic markets.
Adult learning principles: Understanding how adults learn and applying these principles to management and professional development programs.

The map and the territory: strategic thinking in action
If our teams don’t understand our strategy or can’t make decisions aligned with it, the strategy is worthless—especially in complex markets.
“The map and the territory” offers a deep dive into a sophisticated yet pragmatic approach to developing and implementing dynamic strategies.
Complex Systems: Mapping the system we operate in to identify hidden opportunities and challenges.
Outcome-Based Strategy Development: Defining desired outcomes and building adaptable strategies.
