Hi, I'm Alex.

About me

I’ve taught applied emotional intelligence at Yale since I was 27, launched programs with The School of Life, and led corporate trainings for venture capital firms, scientists, CEOs and founders. 

 

In 2025, I founded Lifeshop, a school for emotional learning in New York, where I led immersive public classes that sold out weekly.

 

My background spans Buddhism, business, and everything in between—but at heart, I care about one thing: helping people show up better in their lives. 

Corporate workshops

Bring emotional intelligence to your team

Most teams don't struggle because they lack strategy,

but because they're not working together most effectively. 

What I teach

Alex teaches the human side of work:

skills we need and use every day, and don't realize can be easily taught.

 

Give yourself and your team the gift of much more effective communication, and watch how everything changes. 

Popular team workshops:

  • How to have hard conversations

  • How to listen 

  • Saying yes and saying no at work

  • Giving and receiving feedback

  • Ownership at work 

  • Navigating setbacks, failure, and growth

  • OR, design a bespoke offering tailored to your team's pain points and needs. 

Real impact and practical tools 

This is anything but another dry training or passive lecture. These are interactive, fast, highly practical, and designed for long-term impact. 

Leave every workshop with: 

  • Research-backed frameworks

  • Useful tools and ready-to-implement strategies

  • Hands-on practice (so you don't just undersatnd a concept but have practiced it)
