Agustín Fernández
«I have been able to be part of a very special team»
Agustín describes his experience in the Executive Coaching Certification Programme at the Escuela Europea de Coaching as unforgettable and deeply transformative, both professionally and personally. One of the aspects he highlights most is the special connection he formed with his team, a group of very committed people, with whom he has created a strong and lasting bond. This sense of belonging and teamwork has been a key part of her learning.
What is my passion?
To discover new realities by broadening my vision.
I describe myself in one sentence/quote:
"In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity" Albert Einstein. It could be the title of my biography.
What book do I have on my bedside table?
I always have several on the go, to read one or the other depending on what my body is asking me to read. Right now I have "Team Coaching in Practice" by Luis Carchak, "Supernatural" by Joe Dispenza and "Emotions: An Inner Guide" by Leslie Greenberg.
Last movie I watched:
"Soul", for the third time... I can't get enough of it.
What is my song of the moment?
Angelina Jordan's version of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". I am touched by the talent she has developed at her age.
What news would I like to hear?
Zero infections, zero deaths.
What has been my greatest achievement?
A family united for 26 years - and for the rest of our lives!
What is my biggest challenge?
Slowing down the speed at which I live will allow me to enjoy every moment even more.
Where do I see myself in three years?
I am looking for coaches to collaborate with me in my project.
I got excited for the last time...
I get excited every day, there are so many reasons!
I can't stifle a scream when...
I see a "modelito" from Palomo Spain, hahaha.
My friends say of me...
that I'm a 50-year-old in the body of a 20-year-old... or was it the other way around? 😀
What I do best is...
commit myself and persevere for what I want.
I would like to...
that there was no need to promote solidarity
I never thought...
to forgive and to liberate so much.
How do I recharge the batteries?
By cycling, snowboarding or trail running in the middle of nature, no matter whether on a bike, on a snowboard or in a pair of trail running shoes.
What do I need to be happy?
To my people.
I wish that...
to be wrong once again, because it will mean that I move on.
Through coaching I learned...
to look inwards rather than outwards.
For me, coaching is...
accompanying someone to discover, for themselves, what they could not see before.
In which groups would I like to apply coaching?
Prisoners. Prisons do not rehabilitate and many of those who live in them could transform their lives with some help.
I recommend a coaching book:
"The art of blowing embers" by Leonardo Wolk.
What training/research/experiences complement my coaching studies?
Training in Agile, researching self-leadership and putting into practice coaching skills to lead.
What could you bring to the EEC Alumni community?
All my learning, my life experience, I feel the need to share it.
What activity do I value most in EEC Alumni?
The sessions observed, the generosity of the EEC coaches showing us their art live.
