Q & A with XENIA
DO YOU HAVE A ROLE MODEL OR LIFE MOTTO?
My life motto is flexibility and independence. For me, change is a constant driver and independence a primary life goal.
What was your most powerful learning moment?
My training as a system coach taught me a lot about myself. I discovered my interest in system dynamics and this knowledge has become a solid foundation for how I live my life day to day.
WHAT CAN YOU NOT LAUGH ABOUT?
A. As the saying goes, “Humor always has a grain of truth”. In this respect I can laugh at many things, as long as it does not degrade others or is deliberately hurtful.
What was the last beautiful thing you bought?
Just yesterday an outrageously expensive pair of sunglasses.
What is that one book that will stay with you forever?
My kindle! For me there is not one book. Even with books I love variety: From crime thrillers, science fiction to non-fiction – it’s all on my cloud.
WHEN DO YOU FEEL ALIVE?
By the sea or when I dance with my children to loud music in the living room.
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN?
In God, free will, and that man can reach all from within.
What is your peaceful place?
The Sea.
What was your last good deed?
What is a good deed? When I give up my seat on the bus for an elderly lady, help a mother to push the stroller from the subway, go to the cathedral with my children? What touched me most recently was helping a little boy who had lost his father while shopping. When I took him by the hand, he said that we would find Papa together. His youthful trust touched me deeply and I was glad to help him find his Papa.
What was your last dream abaout?
I dream every night about my daily experiences and things that had moved me.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC?
Querbeet, depending on my mood.
BEGINNING OR FINISHING? WHICH IS HARDER?
Stopping.
