So the diversity that we have in the world and preparing leaders for tomorrow, good citizens, means that there is also an education on understanding the differences, respecting them, and being able to lead through that.
I remember when I was in education at INSEAD, I thought some of the truths that I had were like 100% there and nobody would actually put a doubt on it until other cultures started to speak. And I saw that my absolute truth was actually not that absolute. It needed to be interpreted through the cultures and through the history and the experiences of people.
And this is invaluable once in the real world. It's actually the ability to change perspectives, the ability to work with people that are not the same as yourself, and the ability to put into practice working with people a lot of the concepts into real life.
Are you?
No.
I will come back to Madrid, my hometown. Wonderful. What was your first job? My first job was in Paris, in CGTEL. I was doing an internship on quality engineering stuff. And it was a critical moment because somehow I decided that I didn't want to be a technical engineer. So I switched and pivoted into business. So it was a very important part of my life.
Headspace, about meditation, and I have Decathlon Coach, which is about training physically a lot of different parts of fitness.
My favorite part would be all about Chopin. I'm a romantic and idealistic person. And I express a lot when I play Chopin. So I really like it.
I played tennis quite a bit when growing up and I love actually the quickness and the strategy around that. So that will be one. But then I deeply enjoyed dancing. And so, you know, fitness and dance intersection, I absolutely love. And that's what I've been doing mostly, you know, for the last three years because it helps my mind and it helps my body too.
To just throw myself in the swimming pool without fear, because you can learn to swim, adapt yourself, and never regret not having taken an opportunity because of doubts.
Success is a life well built where I can see my kids every day, where I can contribute through my work to creating a better society and preserving the planet. It's a life where I can honor my parents and be with my friends. It's not only professional, it's actually all of it together having meaning and being able to be aligned with my values with everything that I do.
Thank you so much. It was a pleasure to be with you.
