Take It or Lead It is back!

Once more, my guest is my dear friend Alitzel (Ali) Guerrero. Several months after we recorded our first episode together, a few things have changed in Ali's life, but most importantly she made a BIG decision recently, something that we'll discuss in the first half of the episode. We then go on talking about Ali's favorite topic: Mindfulness, mostly focusing on the power of a non-judgmental mindset and practices to cultivate mindfulness.

Human Relationships are such beautiful, complex, and fluid creatures. Sometimes they grow but most of the time, they simply change, transform or evolve.

My relationship with Cris spans almost 25 years and started with a high-school crush, and since then has gone through half a dozen very different seasons. In this episode, Cris and I talk about how our connection has evolved over time and how we changed and matured in the last 25 years. We also discuss how during a personal crisis it's important to reach out for help, and where and how we can find support and inspiration.

It's a gracious, insightful, authentic, and (to me) inspiring conversation. I am positive you'll enjoy it, too.

Raffaella has a unique story: she went through a double lung transplant in 2010 and today she can lead a healthy and fulfilling life. In this episode, she shares her story with grace and depth while providing very meaningful insights and perspectives on what it means to deal with a life-threatening disease. During our conversation, we are covering many dimensions of Raffaella's experience: how to communicate difficult messages to children, her connection with Michael J. Fox (the actor of "Back To The Future"), her relationship with death, and how this challenge has changed her over time. It's been an incredible pleasure to have this dialogue with Raffaella, and I'm sure you'll find meaning and inspiration in our talk, too.

S2E3: Alitzel (Ali) is a coach and an entrepreneur from Mexico who lives in Budapest since 2016. Ali holds events and workshops specifically designed to empower women in their respective journeys to a more fulfilling and centered life. During this conversation, we begin with the challenges that she had to face as a woman in a society that had expectations and limitations as it relates to gender and ethnicity. As we spontaneously dance from topic to topic, we get to discuss the cultural subjectivity of beauty, the importance of authenticity, the limiting belief of “hard work”, the importance of fun at work, the value of communities, and we end up talking about feminine and masculine energies. It’s been super fun to hold this conversation with Ali and I’m sure you’ll experience the vibes as you listen!

Season 2, Episode 1: Waldek is a friend and a leader who spent a great deal of time coaching me early in my career and offered me the opportunity to grow and develop as a leader. In this dialogue, we’ll talk about the importance of developing ALL your team members, growing your successors, and creating an inclusive culture in the workplace. We'll both share stories from our respective journeys as leaders... but not just that. In fact, if you listen until the end of the episode, you'll hear about Waldek's skills in different sports, books recommendations, his leadership role model, and how I plan to increase the podcast's audience.
