Mr. Ed Cohen has over 30 years experience in strategic leadership, influencing change and culture, and talent development. He is a leading business coach and has authored a best-seller titled ‘Leadership Without Borders’. Mr. Cohen has also helped two companies attain the number one ranking in the American Society of Training and Development BEST Awards. In an exclusive interview with The Human Factor, he talks about career, the lessons learnt and much more.

Q. You have played different roles in diverse businesses. Did you always know that this is what you wanted to do in life?

A. I did. I always knew that I want ed to do something in education and learning. Growing up, I wanted to be a doctor but when I got to college I did not want that, so I got into the business line. I did accounting for a couple of years and found out that the thing that I really loved was working with people. So, I left accounting and joined the education and learning world in 1982.

Q. What attracted you towards HR?

A. What initially attracted me is not the thing that actually kept me going throughout my career. When I was six, I was injured in a fire and had to spend six months in a hospital. My first grade teacher would come to the hospital every day after school and tutor me. She did it without any extra pay. This drew me towards teaching. When I went into learning, I discovered that I was able to articulate and communicate in a way that people could learn effectively, and it excited me.

THE ARION RESORT & SPA, ASTIR PALACE BEACH, ATHENS

The first world class award winning luxury hotel of Athens has ample in store. Features like private beaches and pools and a floor (the Excelsior Club floor) dedicated to accommodating complete privacy with exclusive services to guests is descriptive enough of its hallmark.
THE VIEW: Basking in a corner spot, spread across 75 acres of rich sun-kissed land, and a to-die for view of the Saronic Gulf in the Mediterranean Sea situated in the heart of the Athenian Riviera. You can sit for hours together awing the ambience.
ARCHI-TYPE: The hotel moulded in modern architecture with rooms for business and pleasure oriented interiors. Spacious, with mostly rounded furniture, they offer breathtaking views of the landscape and the ocean. Nothing much left to imagination.
BON APPÉTIT: The hotel’s acclaimed gourmet restaurant ‘The Club House’, serves variety of fish and seafood delights, coupled with live music and the most wondrous view of the Saronic Gulf. Make sure you savour it good; they’ll love you for that.
AROUND THE CORNER: If you hear the allure of the ancient, Athens’ historical sites and archaeological temples of Cape Sounion are already calling. Reverting to civilization isn’t tough either, as the city centre of Athens and the shopping spot of Glyfada is nearby. Other cultural treasures, the Acropolis and the Olympic Stadium...
FROM UNDER THE CARPET: Luxury unlimited, it might leave you craving for more; make sure you recuperate before returning back home.
IN ESSENCE: The deep blue ocean so vast that it seems as if the ocean is fl owing upwards to paint the sky blue! Surrounded by modern and ancient extravaganza, that too with such easy accessibility, there is nowhere else you’d rather be then.
