Follow the Yellow Brick Road – Italy 2017

Ups, we did it again! “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” is a very successful training course we have realised for the first time in Italy in December 2013, and that since then we have brought (with some variations each time) to Czech Republic and Netherlands. This time, we took it back where it all started: […]

Game of Wellness

Well: I was feeling really well at the idea of writing well this post about wellness. Such an abused word, isn’t it? Wellness. What does it even mean? We had a training course exploring the topic. It was an intense journey, a week of great inspiration, connection and personal development. So I am here to celebrate […]

10 TED talks I watched compulsively this Christmas

I spent Christmas doing very little. I ate a lot, slept a lot (this was all part of the plan), and… watched a lot of TED talks. This is the part I did not expect. Here is how it happened. I stumbled upon this book: which all considered, delivers what it promises. It contains a […]

Rogue One, my impressions (no spoilers)

My day-one impressions on the Star Wars spinoff, which is actually a WWII movie. No spoilers (even in comments please).

4 (maybe 5) things that I learned last week

So this is what happened last week: I published a post slightly different from the usual style of “The Cat”. I had this idea of writing some funny stories about me moving to Prague. My wife has been telling me for ages: “You should definitely write something about your life in the Czech Republic!” and I had the […]

10 things I wish someone told me before I moved to Prague

Moving to a new country can certainly be a very strong life experience. No matter how much I was travelling before, and all the knowledge and experience I had accumulated on intercultural learning, culture shock and stuff like that, the fact of actually moving to Prague, Czech Republic in 2015 still hit me like a truckload […]

Green Gaming – Tenerife

As a freelance trainer, sometimes I get just the perfect combination of place-process-people that makes an experience truly memorable. It’s a slight variation of the “3 P triangle” sometimes used to evaluate a product or an activity, and it works really well to describe why the week-or-so we spent in Tenerife, in october 2016, was really special. […]

Civilization VI – my experience after one day

The legendary, first “Civilization” game was published in 1991. And it was the equivalent of an atomic bomb on the very idea of “videogame”: things that people didn’t imagine possible, just became so. It looked like this, but it didn’t matter: it was a brave, ambitious and epic concept, that challenged players to think in […]

The time we made “Spaghetti alla Carbonara” for 35 people

No, I didn’t go completely crazy and no, I am not turning “The Cat” into a food blog in order to get more clicks. This post will just be some kind of playful intermission between all the travel stories, courses, movies and games reports. It’s the recount of how, together with my family, we made an epic-level […]

SAY – Spinning a Yarn

What happens when you try to combine two topics apparently very different from each other? Who knows? We didn’t. And that’s why we decided to realise SAY – Spinning a Yarn: a training course on how to apply effectively storytelling methods to global education issues. If you needed to search what “Spinning a Yarn” means, don’t worry: you […]
