How to find courage in our convoluted business environment?

The number one issue every single one of my customers came up with this month was: lack of Self-Confidence. Everyone labeled their feeling that way! It showed up in different ways in their lives. Some of their phrases were,

• I keep asking myself if I am ready for this (corporate/business change)
• Do I have the courage to do it?
• I am not ready!
• I need to show the organization that I know what is all about

Last month clients are 80% men and 20% women. All of them are high fliers between 38 and 52! Every one of them is running important parts of their companies: owners, directors of big names, consultants... They are by no means weak nor incapable. They are just like you! Read More »

 

 

Generate Genuine Impact

Turn an Uninspiring Business Life Into An Audacious Experience

This call is for you if

• You have reached what they call success (money, name on your business card, power, authority, responsibility...) AND your soul is not satisfied
• You are a leader, a professional or a change agent tired of the `Thanks God it's Friday` mantra
• You have been out there giving your heart and soul, to corporations who haven´t appreciated it and climbing the corporate ladder no longer thrills you
• You are working in a profession / position in which you have invested a lot and in many ways AND you wish for a change AND you don't know what kind of change
• Your professional frustrations are starting to permeate your personal life. Your health and relationships are suffering
• You are involved in business practices ranging from the unethical to the silly, passing from the senseless to the inhuman. You care about it and wish it could be different
• A strong desire to build a meaningful legacy is calling you. You want to use those gifts, talents and passion which are now away from your business desk

Overwhelmed? Let Source do the driving

It is ok not to know, take inspired action NOW

The New Year parties are already far away in my memories. The fireworks, the champagne, the grapes, the bells are forgotten. The same is starting to happen to our new year's resolutions.

Our to-do list is growing and growing. I see overwhelm growing left, right and center.  It is very easy to lose the north in our path. It is very easy to forget what we stand up for. It is very easy to forget how our actions contribute to our life purpose (or not.)

When you feel things are getting out of hand. When you're starting to get irritable. When you're not laughing. When you see everything as VERY serious, VERY heavy, VERY important. STOP! Read More »

 

 

A brand new game

Your very own 10 commandments

This is the season of wishing the best to each other. This is the season of giving. This is the season of reflection. This is the season of receiving a lot of advice for the future. This is the season of family. This is the season of contradictions: from buying unnecessary things to gathering gifts for children in developing countries. This is the season of endless parties, alcohol and prayer. This season is full of everything: excesses and bright spiritual light. Read More »

 

 

Transform your fear into fuel

Have you been hearing your Inner Critic shout at you? Lately mine has gotten out of hand: you are not fast enough, look what everyone is doing, you're not good enough... The worst thing is that at the same time my Inner Victim is taking all those statements as the only reality.

Yesterday, I couldn't take it anymore. Read More »

Brotherhood

My father was an orphan. He spent his childhood and early youth in public boarding schools / orphanages.

When I was 10 years old, his achievements were present everywhere: university degree, a happy young family and his very own successful construction company. He was not the only successful one. Many of his "brothers", school classmates, were politicians, lawyers, accountants, etc. Read More »

 

 

Believe

My inner guidance said: Believe

That was my wake up message. I figured I'd rather trust it. All morning I experienced how life should be for a super hero. Everything was arranged and orchestrated for me. Read More »

 

 

What you cannot afford not to do before you die

I haven’t been able to write. It might be writers block. It might be that I caged myself in the analysis-paralysis cycle. I’ve been asking myself who I am meant to serve. I’ve been having a profound revisiting of my own life purpose. You might be wondering: Why is this relevant to me? Why is Blanca discussing this in her blog? Well, I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe in synchronicity. Possibly, I am meant to serve you. Possibly, my journey might inspire you. Read More »

Your path is patiently waiting for you!

Start listening, wondering will decrease, centeredness will arrive.

Years ago I wanted to write a book. I had the whole layout already planned. I had the title of all the chapters and the entire concept ready to go. I showed the plan to a trusted friend of mine. She kindly recommended me to consider reading several books before even attempting to go ahead. Her good intentions were a show stopper for me. I felt my plan was no good enough and moreover, I felt I was not good enough. Five years and many books later, I finally wrote my own book. Read More »

 

 

Procrastination might be your wisdom speaking

In these uncertain times, our challenge is no longer to move faster. The real challenge is to move wisely. Whoever thinks that incessant action would translate into money, success (whatever your definition is), health and happiness is running the risk of being tremendously disappointed. Read More »

 

 

Embracing fear is the key to invincibility

A couple of years ago, I almost lost everything. I lost my job and my home. My relationship ended. With that I lost “my” car, “my” status, “my” power, “my” source of money, “my” source of love and appreciation. I was as empty as someone can be. It was a very dark and painful period. But… it was so dark and so painful that it didn’t hurt at all! From there, the only way was up. The “little” I had left became so important, and so relevant and valuable. I had nothing to lose!

Crawl your way to success

Consistent imperfect action is the key to your dream life

There are million reasons why we don’t get to follow our dreams. There are million reasons why we don’t allow ourselves to create what we really want to. We see barriers everywhere: the mortgage, our family expectations, our peers’ expectations, our age, lack of time, our gender… The list is infinite.

There is a powerful antidote that dissolves all these barriers. This is called Consistent Imperfect Action. Consistent imperfect action is very similar to crawling. Every baby on the planet learns to walk by trial and error. Every step is imperfect. Every step is in fact an adventure. Babies don’t get hanged up on how many times it didn’t work to stand up. They just try again and again and again and again and again! Read More »

They are the actions that much faster bring me peace, strength and a big smile in my heart. They are my favourite ones, simply because they work. They really do! Read More »

 

 

How to survive the “Mid-Year Crisis”

July is a wake up call to make the rest of the year your best season yet.

 

Have you noticed how people, when they become 40 or 50, enter into a reassessment of their lives? It is what they call the “mid-life crisis”. I’ve noticed that the same happens to me when the 1st of July hits the calendar. I see that the first half of the year is gone and that now I need to start running the extra mile. I remember the intentions I set at the beginning of the year. 1st of July is a wake up call to focus my attention on my goals and choose wisely my actions. Read More »
