What is the best thing that I love about my work? To watch extraordinary cocoons (students and clients) transform into an even more extraordinary butterflies (professionals) ready to fly and take on the world! (by becoming extraordinary and conscious business leaders).

What is my idea of perfect happiness? I believe happiness is not something to be pursued and instead to be understood and felt as a quality that’s already in us. I am happiness. I love one concept that Tony Robbins teaches called the “state of beautiful”; this state is a combination of different qualities such as: innovation, focus, optimism, kindness, empathy, determination, love, positivity, integrity, etc.

What is my greatest fear? One of the closest people in my life suffers from Alzheimers; my greatest fear is the day my mother doesn’t remember I am her daughter anymore… I know the day will come and to be truthful I am not prepared for it yet. Apart from this I fear nothing else.

What is the trait that I most deplore in myself? I don’t deplore anything about myself… There is an area that I have not mastered yet and that’s around physical activity … I know I have not made the commitment nor attached myself emotionally to the decision of truly wanting to be fit. Once I put my mind onto it, it will be achieved.

Which living persons in my profession do i most admire? I have had amazing mentors and leaders who were so generous with their time, patience and wisdom. Rich Litvin, whom I consider to be one of the best coaches in the world, is the person I admire the most in my profession; I haven’t had the pleasure of being coached by him… yet… but I am soon starting one of his programs, and I am thrilled by it!

What is my greatest extravagance? I love designer shoes and handbags!!! An even more extravagant person told me once that these items were investments… so I keep investing in them like crazy hoping one day they will increase in value . Another extravagance is that I only write with montblanc pens; having diva moments from time to time is harmless…am I right?

On what occasion would I lie? I lie almost everyday… one of the things I learned when dealing with Alzheimers disease is that lying is the most beautiful and caring way to show love, kindness and appreciation for the person who suffers it, in order to protect and not aggravate them, as any negative or stressful situations might make the disease progress faster.

What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work? I have noticed and personally experienced incongruences and inconsistencies with some people and organizations that claim to support and empower others with a vision that sounds fantastic but is filled with air.

When and where was I the happiest, in my work? I am at my best when I am involved with my 3 loves… yes I have more than one lover… when I “teach” I feel alive, when I “coach” I feel responsible and when I “speak” I feel useful.

If I could, what would I change about myself? Having a vocation like mine means I need to be a catalyst for change and do my best to lead by example; How can I otherwise expect change in my students and clients if I don’t do it myself? Having said that, there are always areas to improve that you may or not be aware of until given the chance. To answer your question, whatever I wanted to change has or is being changed.

What is my greatest achievement in work? Wow!!! I have had so many… One of my recent big achievements is being a guest speaker on the prestigious TEDx platform considering that when I moved to the UK I only knew a dozen of words in English.

Where would I most like to live? California! I recently visited the place and I fell in love with it’s energy and vibrancy… until that takes place, London is a fabulous place to be and it’s only 2 hours away on plane from my family in Madrid, whom I visit every month.
