Experience has shown me that Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence help us to lead ourselves, as an essential first step to better lead the organisations we are part of. In short, it is about learning to:<\/p>

\"Leading(us) to Lead\".<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence help us to unleash our full human and professional potential, contributing to personal and organisational well-being, effectiveness, collaboration and prosperity.<\/p>

That is why, for the last few years, I have been devoting all my time, energy, passion, knowledge and experience to making this possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I have been trekking intensively since 2007 in some of the world's biggest and most wonderful mountains, such as the Pyrenees, the Alps, the Himalayas, New Zealand, the Highlands...... These are long, hard, multi-day treks, carrying everything necessary to survive in an autonomous way.<\/p>

I have learned the value of effort and demand, to live with extreme situations and enjoy it, to know that you can achieve much more than you imagine, since the important thing is the journey, to know my mental and physical limits (much further than I imagined), to be flexible, to enjoy the sunrises, the clouds, the fog, the sun, the rain, the smells, the beauty of the plants, the landscapes... to live\/subsist with the minimum and essential, to respect nature, not to challenge it and, above all, to value what you are above what you have. Learnings that never cease to inspire my personal and professional day-to-day life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Meditator and vegetarian<\/p>

In 2014 I came into contact with Vipassana meditation in a 10-day silent retreat. It was 10 hours of meditation a day and \"nothing else\" . That's when I became a vegetarian. Since then I have not stopped meditating and I have been on a few silent retreats. The meditation I practice, and teach, is the \"other gym\", that of the mind, and it helps us to be better people and better professionals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Koru is a Maori cultural symbol of New Zealand native people.
It represents the development of a new life, but also the need for effort to achieve growth and perfection. It is a symbol of beginnings and renewal. The Koru represents growth and vitality.

It is a reminder that all things live, die, and reborn. And that life goes on and on. The Maori Koru is similar to the Celtic spiral and both of them have a similar meaning, evoking personal growth, evolution, the awakening of consciousness, and the birth of new life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I discovered it in 2007 in New Zealand. Since then, I've carried it with me around the world (literally, on my neck).<\/p>


It always reminds me, that I can always start again, renew myself, evolve.... And, above all, it reminds me that we all have the opportunity to \"wake up\" and be \"reborn\" continuously. So organisations do.<\/p>

 It unites a Celtic country where my maternal grandparents came from (Galicia), another Celtic country where my life \"changed\" (Ireland) and the Maori culture country where I started trekking 1000 km in three months (New Zealand).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
