For the first steps of the “Iris” initiative, Alexia has designed and delivers a series of seminars that serve the purposes of her Vision and that promote the idea of dreaming, of being courageous to follow our heart and of reaching out beyond limits. “Each one of us has a special talent and we are all Unique. Every life has a purpose. The possibilities that lie at our feet are infinite!”.
Most of the seminars have been delivered in Greece. The two Cisco webinars were delivered in English via the web, with viewers from many countries across Europe, on the topics of Stress Management and Career Progression in male dominated environments. Where not stated, Dr. Alexia Mary Tzortzaki, is the trainer. See below for more details.
