Volver
He vuelto. Hacía tiempo que esta web estaba bastante abandonada. Demasiado. La creé hace ya unos años con una idea bastante sencilla: tener un lugar donde guardar lo que iba escribiendo en LinkedIn, y evitar que algunas reflexiones acabaran perdiéndose en ese extraño agujero negro que son las redes sociales cuando pasa el tiempo. Porque LinkedIn está muy bien para compartir. Pero no tanto para conservar ni buscar de forma ordenada. Y esta mañana, poniendo de nuevo el blog en orden, recuperando artículos antiguos y revisando cosas que escribí hace tres, cuatro o cinco años, me he dado cuenta de algo: también es interesante volver a encontrarse con lo que uno pensaba…

Los errores
¡Todos cometemos errores! Ni soy infalible, ni nadie lo es. EQUIVOCARSE es consustancial a ACTUAR. Y forma parte de nuestro viaje de aprendizaje.

Why Career Transition Is So Hard (HBR)
In today’s dynamic and ever-evolving professional landscape, career transitions are no longer exceptions but rather inevitable steps in a lifelong journey of growth and fulfillment.

Reconsiderate of your connection to work and life
After I finish a training, I typically inquire with the instructor for a READING SUGGESTION. 📙 🧑🏼🏫 This practice allows me to delve deeper into the TRAINER’S PERSPECTIVE and uncover LESSER-KNOWN BOOKS that wield significant influence. 📚 One particular book that has ignited my enthusiasm is “SHOP CLASS AS SOULCRAFT” (2009) that presents a thought-provoking examination of how engaging in MANUAL WORK can profoundly impact one’s life. This work explores the evolving nature of employment, the intrinsic WORTH OF HANDS-ON LABOR, and suggests that opting for a trade over a traditional profession could be a pathway to GENUINE CONTENTMENT. 🛠️ The author, Matthew B. Crawford, is a philosopher and an…

Post-summer Challenges
🌞 Embracing the POST-SUMMER CHALLENGES! 🌅As we bid farewell to the leisurely days of summer and embark on our journey back to the grind, I’m reminded of the enduring tale of Sisyphus 🪨 This Corinthian king 👑 found himself eternally pushing a boulder uphill, only to watch it tumble down again everyday, much like our own modern challenges. 💪 Just like Sisyphus embraced his fate and tirelessly faced his uphill battle, let’s channel that same DETERMINATION as we dive back into our work ROUTINES. The weight of our tasks might feel like that unyielding boulder, but remember, it’s in the PERSISTENCE that we uncover our true strength 😊 🌟 The…

The Power of Optimistic Self-Talk
As the renowned psychologist Albert Ellis once said, “Most emotional disturbances are SELF-INFLICTED.” How profoundly true this statement is! How do we speak to ourselves when facing challenges? Often, we tend to be our harshest critics, filling our minds with doubts, fears, and self-criticism. But what if we could transform that inner voice into an ally, a constant source of optimism and empowerment? ✨ Positive self-talk is a skill we can develop. It begins with RECOGNIZING those negative and self-critical thoughts. Then, REPLACE them with constructive and optimistic affirmations. Instead of saying “I can’t do it,” say “I am learning and growing.” Instead of “Everything will go wrong,” say “I am prepared…
