Why did you get into Coaching?
Although I have dedicated myself professionally for 8 years, it has been more than 20 years dedicating myself in one way or another to leadership and personal development.
Looking back, there are several points that come together, but an experience with depression and panic attacks prompted me to ask myself, how did I get there? That led me to read a huge number of books and I became self-taught. I followed what interested me without having a very clear idea of what I was going to do in the future.
I started with theology, then my fascination with Philosophy led me to Coaching. I started with Ontological Coaching, which is the best known in the country, but I continued with Neurolinguistic Programming, until I traveled abroad where I specialized in what I call Evolutionary Coaching, since it forms knowledge of Emotional Intelligence, Family and Couple Therapy, Negotiation and Positive Psychology. In addition, I did a Diploma as a High Impact Dynamics Instructor.
Before all this, I had a break personally, where I reached a limit of tolerance regarding the job I had. Although I held a senior position in an important multinational, with certain privileges and comforts, I was deeply dissatisfied with what I was doing. It didn’t feel like it made a difference, as I knew internally it had to. I was able to cope with this state of inconsistency, until my health took its toll. There I decided to leave what I was doing, to dedicate myself to living according to my purpose.
Why didn’t I dedicate myself from the beginning? I let myself be influenced by opinions, fear of uncertainty, doubts about my abilities and the feeling of security that the job gave me.
In that trance, I realized that I reached that limit for not listening to myself for too long. It was an invaluable lesson in why we are failing ourselves and not living up to the potential that is waiting to express itself within us.
Who are your Coaching sessions for?
In all these years of profession I meet all kinds of people living a tolerated life, not doing what most satisfies them and defrauding themselves. Entrepreneurs, professionals, students with more than one career abandoned or made to fulfill a mandate.
When I work with teams in companies, where there are currently the greatest challenges with HR, it can be clearly seen that a person who is dissatisfied with what he does is a collaborator who does not deploy all his skills, because he is disconnected from his purpose. .
I work in Coaching sessions with entrepreneurs, as well as in experiential workshops with their teams, in order to generate a culture of personal coherence to be more productive professionally.
Many of the clients who hire me are very successful in achievement, but lack fulfillment. This is achieved by feeling complete. It is when what you do and generate has a deep personal meaning.
Entrepreneurs starting projects based on a successful idea, only to realize at the top that they leaned the ladder against the wrong wall.
My mission is to transform the culture in this country, empowering leaders who transform businesses and communities, creating better places to live and work.
For this I have been touring several provinces of the country accompanying companies, giving retreats in nature, seminars and speaking at universities, with the clear commitment to generate something much deeper and lasting than change.
