Welcome to the tibi-movies section.

Why so much space for the cinema in my blog?

Because movies can be an excellent tool for people who want to invest in their personal and professional growth.

Here you can find the storyline, reviews and trailers related to specific topics: coaching, leadership, motivation, negotiation, sport, resilience are some of them.

I know, the movie reviews I’ve published so far are not many: I promise you it will grow soon.
