I am on a journey to be a mentor and a life coach and my objective is to make a difference in lives of people. Personally, interacting with a lot of people as my day job has really helped me gain perspective and opened me up for receiving different views.

Curiosity is essential for research. I feel like being curious is the basic emotional intelligence that you need to begin researching. If you don't have Curiosity you will not have the patience to endure and enjoy the research. Curiosity makes the research process fun because researching is tedious.

Les comparto este contenido que me sirve en mis procesos. En el ámbito del coaching y la terapia, enfrentamos un desafío común pero crucial: la tentación de dejar que nuestros clientes hablen de sus problemas sin dirección ni interrupción. Si bien escuchar es fundamental, permitir que se adhieran rígidamente a su historia personal, la que han estado perfeccionando por años, incluso décadas— puede ser contraproducente. ¿Como sacar de ese patrón de pensamiento en tu cliente? Al desafiar estratégicamente los relatos de tus clientes, no sólo acelerarán su mejora, sino que también podrás reducir la duración de las sesiones y mejorar los resultados de manera significativa.
