What is really this blog about?


Have you ever asked yourself or someone else to list 3 names of Leaders you and they admire? I bet the answer will include famous history characters, government leaders, company leaders and religious leaders. And how much do we know about these people? We should know a bit of their personal history – place born, age, career track, marital status, number of children – and what makes or made them famous – for example, a war, a corporate scandal, a major deal.

Perhaps we would not know what makes or made those Leaders happy in life – personal habits, favourite sports, favourite books, favourite food and drink. That is, what defines them as basic, normal human beings like you and I. And this exactly what my blog will cover.

Here you will find a summary of interviews to Leaders at all levels, formal and informal, and with different origins and backgrounds, supported by photos and videos.


You will learn about:
- What Leaders like most to eat and drink, including for example their favourite meal;
- How they define Leadership and their top leadership traits;
- Who are the leaders that most influenced and helped them develop themselves as leaders,
- And other curiosities linked to leadership, eating and drinking, and what makes Leaders happy.

Are you interested?
Do you know a Leader I should interview? (Perhaps yourself)

What does Leadership have to do with the stomach?



Nothing or perhaps a lot...


I am passionate about Leadership and some years ago I co-founded a community of practice called “Leadership at All Levels”. My partners and I wanted to share the true meaning of leadership, formal and informal, and to help others develop leadership skills to be applied at all levels of personal and professional life.

I have another passion: cooking, eating good food and drinking good wine!!! I love trying new restaurants and experimenting new recipes. I love wine tasting and I am going through expert training on sensory analysis in an Oenology School in Switzerland.


One day food and leadership thoughts gave birth to the idea of demonstrating that “Happy Stomachs Make Great Leaders”. In other words, demonstrate that leaders are human beings with food preferences and eating and drinking habits.


I want to promote learning on Leadership while driving enjoyment and fun!!!
