Portrait of Zoltán Palatinus

About us

“I founded Palatinus Consulting in 2011.

For more than a decade I have been developing and advising individuals and businesses.

Through hundreds of hours of leadership coaching, individual development and a range of training programmes, I have helped companies and private individuals to reach their business and personal goals, and to improve their careers and their relationships with other people.

My vision is for there to be more and more people in the world who have stable self-awareness and a vision of their own, who achieve their goals, who build well-functioning relationships, organisations and businesses, and who in this way make the world a more creative, colourful, inspiring and liveable place.”

Zoltán Palatinusfounder of Palatinus Consulting

Mission

“As a consultant, my mission is to spark the insights that companies and individuals need in order to grow and develop, to encourage and support the changes that build on those insights, and to help make the changes last while deepening awareness.”

Zoltán Palatinusfounder of Palatinus Consulting

“Outward growth and success are always determined by what happens inside people. Success, then, does not depend primarily on what happens to us. It depends on what happens inside us as a result of what happens to us. That is what determines how we react in a given situation.

The patterns of thinking, behaviour and reaction we bring with us often hold us back from reaching our goals and building a happier life. Yet we usually cannot recognise these patterns from the inside, because we have always worked this way and have nothing to compare ourselves against. Only from the results and the consequences do we sense that we are doing something wrong.

A consultant’s added value is seeing events from the outside and, as a professional, having real points of reference grounded in the laws of psychology and of relationships between people.”

Community

Social engagement

In his free time he most enjoys reading, travelling, playing golf and dancing. He is also active in the community through Rotary in Hungary, is a founding member of the first Hungarian Rotary e-club, and supports UNICEF with group programmes for personal development and greater effectiveness.

UNICEF Magyar Bizottság Alapítvány

UNICEF believes that every child has the right to a childhood. The organisation works on long-term changes that ensure survival and development for every child.

UNICEF sustains itself and its programmes solely through voluntary contributions. Regular donations give the organisation the financial security that makes it possible to launch long-term programmes.

Since the very beginning, Zoltán has given effective help to the team leaders of the supporter recruiters through his personal development training.

Ingrained patterns: what self-awareness counselling is about

We all have ingrained patterns of behaviour and thinking. They are what make us successful, and some of them are also how we create our problems and sticking points in relationships and elsewhere.
