Pillar 1-Be Present
Be present is a core idea of Positive Psychology. It is integral to Martin Seligman's PERMA model, a framework for wellbeing. There are over 700 clinics dedicated to the practice of MBSR. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. Thanks to Jon Kabat-Zinn. The science has proven the effectiveness of these methods for reducing PTSD symptoms, Fear, anger, and anxiety. The 8 Pillar Program will touch on short forms of these various practices, to showcase the ideas behind them and to give you a sample. Whether you choose to adopt any of them long term, is a matter of personal preference. Get your reps in. 8pillarprogram.com

Take the knife out of your voice- recognize and remove negative tone
I recently saw this line in a movie trailer, and it really resonated. It is a very important form of kindness. It is an expression of negativity that damages all types of connections. It is a true form of self-sabotage and is an excellent indicator of weak self-regulation. This is one of this week's challenges in the 8 Pillar Program. Get your reps in! and visit 8pillarprogram.com Please leave the name of the film in the comments. It really deserves mention.

Things I've learned that I absolutely must share.

With over 30 years as a Toronto firefighter and fire captain, I help bring real-world experience to resilience and performance coaching. Backed by studying positive psychology and certifications from Harvard, PESI, and the Transformation Academy,

I specialize in:
• Building resilience in first responders facing critical incident stress and operational demands
• Helping individuals with ADHD turn challenges into strengths, improving focus, productivity, and mental fitness

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:
