How the 8 Pillar Program started
This is unimportant to watch unless you need a deeper explanation of the 8 Pillar Program. If this has you interested, then please reach out through my website 8pillarprogram.com. There is a lot that I didn't have time to mention. People often ask why I started the 8 Pillar Resilience Challenge. It was because I saw a need to create a method of implementation of known science to build mental strength and resilience. The object was to have better outcomes, greater life satisfaction, and increased longevity. Especially for first responders. My belief that the tools can help everyone.
Not aligning actions with values. Dangerous?

Not aligning actions with values. Dangerous?
Not aligning actions with values can cause a cognitive dissonance. It can cause unease and discomfort, which lowers your resilience. Always review for these events and review how they can be avoided.
Active Listening the easy way

Active Listening the easy way
There are a lot of fantastic ways to be an active listener. My suggestion is just start by being curious. If you are actively listening and trying to improve, try not being distracted by waiting to say something or engage in a certain way. Add only one strategy at a time.

Piero helped me identify and work through material, emotional and mental barriers potentially holding me back in my achievements that I didn't realize existed.  Each session helped me dive a little deeper into myself and left me feeling more empowered, energized, focused and driven.

Working with Piero has been transformative. His coaching goes beyond productivity — it's about building lasting inner happiness. I’ve clarified what joy means to me and developed sustainable habits to support it.

Piero’s holistic approach blends mind, body, and spirit with intention. His energy is uplifting, and his grounded presence creates space for deep, honest reflection. As a trauma therapist, I see his work as a powerful next step for clients ready to grow beyond healing.

His background as a fireman shines through — calm, compassionate, and strong. Coaching with Piero feels like being guided by someone truly called to help others thrive

"I was hesitant to work on my goals honestly. But as soon as I started the process with Piero, I was instantly over my resistance. He helped me really identify goals that I didn't even know were most important to me. And today I've already made great progress. Thanks Piero! 

A few kind words from my clients:
