About me
Hey there!
My name is Andrey Lepekhin (leh-PYO-hin). I’m trying to figure out how to live a good, contented life. I experiment with different approaches, from applied psychology and mindfulness to more esoteric practices. This is my blog, where I spill my thoughts, share what I’ve learned, and talk about anything that interests me.
Here’s a little more about me.
Meaningful conversations
I enjoy conversations that bring people closer. I’ve facilitated many of them over the years, one-on-one and in groups, including Circling, Authentic Relating games, and other structured ways to talk honestly. If you like connecting below the surface, let’s chat.
Computers and people
I work with software, systems, and the people around them. Over the last 15 years I’ve done a bit of everything, from startups to big companies like Yandex and DoorDash: business analysis, quality assurance, project management, software development, and leading teams of developers. Connect on LinkedIn.
Reading
I’m a huge fan of science fiction. This genre has been my trusted companion for the past 25 years. Here are my top three favorite books. I’m always happy to suggest a next sci-fi book, or receive recommendations. Besides, I also read brain-tickling blogs like Slate Star Codex and Zvi, along with tech-related content from Hacker News.
Inner work
As a mentor, I help people get to the root cause of their challenges, rather than just battling symptoms like procrastination. We experiment together to find effective ways to reach their goals, without resorting to self-blame as motivation.
Movement
I love to dance, especially free movement styles like freedom dance, ecstatic dance, and authentic movement. If you’re hosting an event with these, count me in!
I’m currently in Moscow Bishkek Helsinki, I’m eager to connect with people who share similar interests. So, if something here caught your fancy, feel free to reach out!
Criticism
I appreciate constructive feedback. One of the main reasons I write this blog is to grow, so if you think something could be better, I’d be grateful if you told me.
