Conexiones más Profundas / Deeper Connections

Deeper Connections   With the rush of the daily routine sometimes we skip from the essence of life, human connections, and the meaningful experience we can build with it. Wherever we are there are stories to listen, share and learn from them, people coping with different situations some sad, challenging, or amazing, but everyone is facing something that  we can even imagine. Therefore, if all of us walk together in the same life what if we look for a heart-to-heart conversation to start building Deeper Connections beyond the transactional talks to really take the time to get to know each other and make it worth. So, as entering in a new year I would like to invite you to add this habit to our lives, to live each day as a new opportunity to be more vulnerable and give us the chance to create Deeper Connections and enjoy the beauty of the life together. Conexiones más Profundas   Con el ajetreo de la rutina diaria a veces nos saltamos la esencia de la vida, las conexiones h

Intentional Living   Throughout our lives we achieve many of the goals we set for ourselves and we begin to enjoy individual success that brings many personal and professional satisfactions, however, there comes a point along the way, which has nothing to do with how old are you, but rather with the context of each one of us, where you realize that it is time to refocus your purpose to allow a greater impact, to Intentional Living , and that is how success becomes collective. Part of this new approach is also because we understand the importance of giving back to life all that we have received, and we transform receiving into giving, we start thinking about how to Intentional Living , is adding value to those around us. In the words of the well-known writer and speaker John Maxwell, leadership becomes transcendent because it is about how to serve others in an intentional way , and this becomes a lifestyle, in which we make that commitment with ourselves to take advantage of all

Enjoyable Work   Once that we found a job where we fit and feel good on it, we must go beyond and extend our happiness, creating an Enjoyable Work. It is easy feel positive when everything´s going right, but what about those days, weeks or moments that are more challenging than others? Just as life, being happy in our jobs do not depend only on the good experiences, so how we can navigate on those challenging waves and in the meantime continue enjoying our day? For sure changing our perspective of what we can control and what not, doing our best and be aware of our emotions and leading with them the best we can, which is not to look for perfection but know that we´re doing is enough, and build meaningful relationships with our folks, however there is one more thing we can do to create an Enjoyable Work: Organize! Yes! as described in the book Joy at work by Marie Kondo and Scott Sonenshein, Organization can make the difference specially during challenging moments not just for

Enduring Habits   A good practice to achieve our New Year´s resolutions is to have a follow up methodology to become them in Enduring Habits , and not just another list we will repeat next year. There are several theories and techniques about the implementation of habits, whose focus is usually on the person, however, if we focus instead on the system we use, the results could be different. James Clear, in his book "Atomic Habits", describes a very useful technique for this purpose, which consists of making our habits Obvious, Attractive, Easy and Satisfying, working on a continuous improvement little by little, such as the Deming cycle. The phrase "the sum of small changes brings remarkable results" is totally true, and precisely the Enduring Habits are the consequence of a small constant improvements, which are transformed into a positive habit that in the long term becomes part of our lifestyle. May your resolutions become Enduring Habits ! Hábitos P

Collaborative Learning   Collaborative Learning consists in using groups to solve problems, complete tasks or learn new concepts, promoting vulnerability by acting in an unfamiliar space, and thanks to this uncertainty we become the students, adding from the gear and learning from others. Some of the benefits of Collaborative Learning are the development of self-management and leadership skills, the reinforcement and acquisition of new skills, the improvement of relationships across different areas, which is very beneficial just now that most of us work remotely, the improvement of knowledge acquisition, as well as talent retention and the promotion of inclusion.

Positive Influence   As human beings we are always trying to think and act in consequence of the legacy we want to leave in this world, because part of the life´s meaning is to know that our existence has worth it, some people focus to do it through their kids, family, friends, colleagues, mentees, so forth, but the reality is that you can do it with every single person you meet. Let´s think more in human connections and the Positive Influence we can have, for sure with the accelerated interactions nowadays sometimes we just act in automatic mood, but if we were more conscious of the impact of our words and actions have in other´s live we probably would be more cautious.
