What an inspiring week at Cambridge Judge Business School as we celebrated the graduation of the latest cohort of the Senior Management Programme for Latin America. 🧑‍🎓 📜 

This group of 34 leaders from 12 countries brought curiosity, courage, and a deep commitment to creating impact across their organizations and communities. Watching them connect ideas with real-world challenges — and with each other — has been a privilege.

I’m grateful to play a small part in a programme that blends world-class teaching, thoughtful design, and a strong culture of reflection and growth. Every cohort reinforces the power of bringing diverse leaders together to learn, challenge assumptions, and support one another. 

A big thank you to Suzanne Weeks for her leadership and umatched commitment to excellence that makes a team of talented leadership consultants come together to provide meaningful individualized professional development opportunities to all participants. (Looking at you Katie Dardagan , Estefanía Yome, Miguel Ángel Sanz, PhD , Eva Fernández Jordana, and Delphine Bondu!) 

Congratulations to all the graduates — the work ahead is important, and you’re leaving Cambridge with the clarity and momentum to make it happen.  👏

Founder, Happy Whole Human

For more than 20 years I have enjoyed working as a coach and mediator and as a trainer and educator. During these two decades, my focus has been specifically geared towards using evidence-based practices to guide people, from business executives to close-knit families, towards attaining their own definitions of personal and professional success. 

My skill set not only includes devising overarching coaching techniques that help address previously hidden risk factors and roadblocks but also finding ways to improve agile team collaboration so entire work cultures are transformed into environments teeming with positive morale. Inclusion and diversity are cornerstones of my work so that all in my care benefit from the resources available, regardless of race or cultural background. 

Over the years I have worked with fellow business leaders, staff, and coaches to sustain a broad series of initiatives that provide prospective and existing clients with the support required for addressing their perceived shortcomings. My record of success shows how I have been a consistent advocate and ally in introducing new ways of thinking that lead others through all phases of a journey taking them into a mindset of sharper focus and increased clarity. 

I use my holistic approach to help new clients elevate the chances they have to meet their maximum potential.
