What Am I Doing Now?
(Updated March 19, 2025, from my home in the Spanish state of Catalunya)
Coaching
Our growth and development continues at Elevating Leadership Institute (ELI.) The response to our first round of facilitated 1-1 member calls was fantastic. This week, our High-Performance Leadership Coaching Community is set to welcome our first guest presenter and ELI friend, Matt Cucarro, an outstanding sports psychologist and leadership coach. Another major guest presenter announcement coming soon!
All of our events, coaching, collaborations are anchored in the principles of high performance sport and cutting edge leadership strategy that help our community members create impact across multiple dimensions of life. Come see what we are doing --> HERE.
Movements In Nature
One of my most important advocacies is getting outside and moving in nature. Some recent snow in the Catalan Pyrenees brought some joyful movements via the nordic skis and snowshoes. Check out some fun reels HERE and HERE.
Creatively
If you are here, you know that I love Thinking In Waves. So, I am always experimenting with new ways to engage people to think different about their Life Waves, such as this LinkedIn post shared this week. Join the conversation over there.
Of course, continuing the re-launch of this website out into the world. So grateful to work with the amazing team at Volcanic <-- an outstanding Catalan digital company!
Collaborations
Two collaborations in which I'm investing more time, energy, and resources are:
- The Outlier Project: This networking group based in the United States and founded by my friend, Scott MacGregor, is growing by leaps and bounds. So much so that Scott assembled a team of regional ambassadors to simplify and localize the member experience. I agreed to serve as the international ambassador to support our members living outside the US and Canada (like me.)
- Rios Lodge: This remote riverside retreat on Costa Rica's Pacuare River makes me smile every day... because of the smiles and reviews I see from our guests. I joined the ownership group of Rios Lodge a few years ago and since then, I've watched our leadership make improvements that are as good for the land as they are for our guests. The majority of our clients are retreat leaders who want to immerse their groups in Costa Rica's lush rain forest and enjoy a space that fosters disconnection and transformation. I look forward to hosting my own retreats here soon!
