Good conversations, genuine and honest, in all their forms and situations: starting the day with a good coffee, strolling through the countryside or the beach, surrounded by friends over a meal and a good wine, reviewing the day with my children over dinner, and listening to the aspirations, illusions and challenges of great professionals who work day in, day out giving their all to achieve their goals… as long as there’s no need to keep a close eye on the clock…

I enjoy working on innovative projects with large and small companies that promote growth and entrepreneurship, and that requires cohesive, passionate teams that are limitless in giving their best. Executive and team coaching is one of the most effective tools for driving the transformation of individuals and organizations.

I started practicing almost without realizing it during my previous experience as a corporate manager, a stage in which I liked dedicating time to development conversations with the team members. In a 360 assessment one of them wrote me a comment: «Mónica, you should dare to explore your potential as a coach»… And soon after, someone recommended me the European Coaching School… I will always be grateful to these two people.

Over the past few years this phrase has inspired me a lot: «Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to keep one’s foot steady,» and that’s what we’re doing…

Book

I’ll give you two books, choose the one you like best:

El almirante by Luis Mollá. I enjoy the novelized history, and this book tells the life and achievements of Admiral Blas de Lezo in a very entertaining way—a true example of courage, commitment, and leadership.

The Three Musketeers by A. Dumas. It has everything: epic, love, friendship, teamwork, adventure, intrigue, and action.

Song

Beyond the Sea, for its lyrics, which talk about the strength of true love and destiny, and for its melody—it always makes me want to dance when I hear it.
