”O Parvati! What is there in this world that cannot be attained by one who has achieved total preservation of his/her fluids?“ – Divine Inspiration: The Secret of Eternal Youth
“Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.”- Peter Drucker
“ The vital energy virya, that supports life is the prana of pranas, which shines in sparkling eyes, which beams in shining cheeks, is a great treasure for a human being.” – Swami Shivananda
“The truth is that major capacities and competencies of leadership can be learned and we are all educable, at least if the basic desire to learn is there.” – Warren Bennis
Introducing the Model
“Superior Intimacy” unveils unexplored capacities, offering a pathway to happiness, charisma, and purpose concurrently. It goes beyond current skills, utilizing often overlooked resources for personal development. This model provides a systematic approach, tools, and methodologies for cultivating highly charismatic leadership—an endeavor that awakens consciousness broadens awareness, and facilitates the development of resources, encompassing knowledge, skills, abilities, and relationships.
This practical methodology maps, bridges, and integrates intimate experiences in couple relationships with accelerated leadership progress, happiness, satisfaction, fulfillment, vitality, health, and power. We argue that appropriately integrated couple intimacy is a practical catalyst for personal flourishing and the development of new traits for both partners.
While the approach has ancient roots, dating back to the practices of the Yellow Emperor in ancient China, it is still relevant today. This practice, once considered a natural part of life in various cultures worldwide, now presents an intriguing opportunity for modern individuals, including entrepreneurs, executives, consultants, and academics, to explore and gain new insights.
Behind Superior Intimacy are not only esoteric traditions but also a growing body of rigorous scientific evidence, some explored in our programs. The challenge lies in understanding how couple intimacy impacts leadership performance—a subject historically considered taboo and high-risk.
“I’m shocked and fascinated at the same time. Tell me more,” exclaimed a leadership professor from a renowned business school in London. The goal is not only achieving happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment but also unlocking the potential of self-directed neuroplasticity and epigenetics for accelerated trait development.
While meditation was once seen as mystical and unrelated to leadership development, we acknowledge the reality of its transformative power today. Still, much research is needed on this long-neglected, sensitive, and avoided topic, offering multiple opportunities for exploration and growth when approached with creativity and maturity.

Introducing the Model
Superior Intimacy can help you to discover unknown capacities, not developed today yet. It offers the opportunity for happiness, charisma, and purpose in simultaneity. New inner traits can be developed beyond existing skills through a smarter usage of otherwise ignored resources. The model provides the systematic logic, tools, and methodologies to build a state of highly charismatic leadership. A practice to open our minds, to broaden and expand our awareness, to facilitate the building and development of resources, including knowledge, skills, abilities, and relationships.
Superior Intimacy is a practical methodology that maps, bridges, and integrates intimate experiences in opposite-sex couple relationships with accelerated leadership progress and also with happiness, satisfaction, fulfillment, vitality, health, and power. We argue here that couple intimacy (integrated appropriately) in a loving couple relationship is a practical catapult for personal flourishment as well as for new traits development, for both lovers.
The approach is not new but known from ancient times
When the Yellow Emperor, the founder of the Chinese culture explored the practice in ancient China, he was practicing the model we investigate here. The same goes later in other communities in India, Egypt, or other parts of the world, when such a complex taboo was seen as part of life and not excluded or hidden from a fulfilling life. The scale and speed at which this practice can transform people today is yet to be investigated. It is an intriguing opportunity for entrepreneurs, executives, consultants, and academics to practice and discover new insights.
Ultimately, this is about creating and capturing high inner value, for couples, personal leadership, and society at large. Behind the steps of Superior Intimacy are not only the esoteric traditions of humanity but also a growing body of rigorous scientific evidence, some of them presented in our programs.
However, in recent years, scientists have made extraordinary progress in understanding romantic love, positive emotions, intimacy, and happiness. We ground on several lines of research from world-class scientists offering an integrated perspective and even a breakthrough.
Although some might be skeptical, they should not disturb practitioners
The challenge is enormous and still, we invite you to explore our concept with an open-minded attitude, a strong dose of realism, and, why not, a willingness to put into practice this easy-to-engage model. As an executive and as a couple-therapist, our emphasis has always been on clinical results, facts, evidence, and peer-reviewed papers. Understanding how couple intimacy impacts leadership performance is not an easy task; it's not only a taboo but also a high-risk subject to explore.
"I'm shocked and fascinated at the same time. Tell me more," told us a leadership professor, from a world-class business school in London.
The goal is not only to achieve happiness, satisfaction, and fulfillment but also to learn how self-directed neuroplasticity and epigenetics can accelerate the process of new trait development. 50 years ago meditation was seen as something weird, mystical, an Eastern practice that has nothing to do with leadership development. Fast-forward to today in our times and acknowledge reality!
However, we believe that a lot more research is required as this long-neglected, sensitive, hidden, and avoided topic has multiple opportunities to offer (not only for leaders), once it is explored and treated in a creative and grown-up manner.
