George Bonea

Demotivational Speaker

In a world where everybody tells you the secret of becoming rich, how to have a dream career and a partner from a magazine, there is room for a little honesty. You have been told countless times that you can do it, that success depends on you and that you have everything you need for a happy life? Most probably you have been lied. There are millions of reasons because of which you will never achieve anything, ever and the fact that you are letting others fool you is not going to change a thing. I know, it’s sad. You’re welcome.

Founder

Co-founder & CEO Qriser.com – The community that promotes the democratization of life-long learning. When you need it. Where you need it. Maria believes that education is the one true force that empowers people to live happier, more accomplished and more conscious lives. And societies where continuous learning is a norm for most individuals are stronger, more prosperous and more harmonized. For more than 15 years, Maria was lucky to taste in her corporate career the benefits of continuous, deliberate learning – from coaching, mentorship, to top class training programs, each meant to challenge current barriers and awake new sources of potential for personal balance and professional growth. Sensing firsthand the power of individual growth through learning, Maria felt the need to give back: first as facilitator for others – as mentor and as a trainer for different leadership areas, for innovation and for marketing & brand building.

Marius Dusa

NGO Activist

I think that as long as I establish clear goals and keep them in mind, I’m giving my mind something to work on in order to not let my mind “work” me. I firmly believe that taking risks, but within a limit of prudence, means evolution, and without them success can not be achieved. I like to ask myself many questions, to doubt, but at the same time to believe in everything that surrounds me, until life gives me the answers. I know that the impossible is not possible and so it is impossible to achieve all that I have in mind. I am passionate about personal development, human behavior, the way we think and emotions, and that has made me head towards coaching. In this life, I’m set out to discover the formula by which any man can build a beneficial life for himself and not only. I think there is only one cause for all of our problems, namely the weak management of the perceptions we live in, the emotions, but most of all, the ego.
