Why so much space for the cinema in my blog?

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.
