A sparring partner is defined in action, this is why this "under construction" page will remain as is for quite long. There is not more to write for the time being, only to experience it together.
Dictionaries do define SPARRING PARTNER, namely as:
-> a person who serves to sharpen and expand one’s thinking through frequent friendly debate (source: dictionary.com)
-> a person that someone has serious but friendly arguments with (source: merriam-webster.com)
-> someone you have friendly arguments with (source: dictionary.cambridge.org)
The term has its origin in sports and more accurately in boxing:
-> a boxer who spars with and otherwise serves to train a boxer who is preparing for a bout.
-> someone who helps a boxer practice
-> someone a boxer spars with for training a person you practise boxing with.
Of course in life and business we are not literally boxing; ...metaphorically maybe 😉
What would you expect to gain from your sparring partner?
Why trust Tolis to cooperate and boost your performance?
In Tolis you will find a sparring partner who will shift you forwards with a spirit of entrepreneurship, accountability and respect.
Who is continuously investing in absorbing knowledge (beyond his officially acquired Certificates and Degrees) and who by practising this knowledge, fails, wins and learns something at the end.
Who is solving challenges as if they were “Geometry Problems”; where the solution is revealed through, intuition, clear and simple thinking and solid knowledge of the facts and the rules.
In business - not geometry - terms; a person who solves challenges by thinking strategically.
You will cooperate with a person who will contribute to your overall personal development and in particular to the strengthening of your impact in business.
Not because he is better than you or a world class expert!
(PS: A sparring partner in boxing is not the shining star, the star is the boxer themselves!)
He will achieve this result with the critical and powerful questions he will ask you,
with insightful metaphors and analogies from life and business
and by sharing examples, experiences and opinions from world class experts, which he has acquired and collected through the almost 40 years of his career.
His contribution is a "nutritional supplement" to your skills, attitudes and resources.
It will enlighten your mind to think clearer and divergent, steer around biases, prioritize, focus and find the right ways to achieve your goals.
