Before the end of this year, to find out where I am and what is happening to me. Knowing a lot is fine. Knowing how to do with what you know, that's where the chocolate is whipped. When I was at university, I noticed a big difference between the professors who had practiced their profession and those who stayed in theory. And well, the theory is fundamental! There are things that we need to study, understand and analyze. But there is an interesting gap between knowing how something is done and actually doing it.
That's why I've never been a big friend of accumulating certificates to leave them collecting dust. Every year I try to update myself, learn something new and add tools. But then comes my favorite part: giving myself the time to integrate, test and put into practice what I've learned. Because, let's be honest, what's the point of filling our head with information if we don't turn it into action?
Today, after so many years of experience, I am proud to be able to bring much more than knowledge to organizations: I bring experience, tools and learnings that I put to the test every day.And among the clients with whom I have the privilege of working, I always accompany their Human Resources, Marketing and Marketing teams by the hand. With them I live closely how the passion for service ceases to be a nice phrase and becomes decisions, actions and daily work.
And that reminds me of something I deeply believe in: Knowledge gives us tools. Practice gives me criteria. And execution is what turns all that into results. I support others to find the useful thing behind a mistake.
Because many times we live believing that we don't have permission to make mistakes, that others shouldn't make mistakes either. That a mistake defines us, and to make a mistake is to go back.
And maybe we need to look at the error from another place. Because a mistake can be the starting point for learning, questioning, adjusting, discovering and growing. Because to be wrong is also deeply humano. The question is not always, how could I be wrong?
Sometimes the question that transforms is what can I do with this that I learned? That's where the really useful part of the mistake begins. Not in denial. Not in punishing him. To turn it into an experience.
Because not every mistake needs an excuse. Some need a good read and a better decision afterwards. No matter how old we are, or how much we have changed our roadmap, we can always start over with intention. This current month is still progressing and I'm getting ready for a new challenge, it's a challenge that tickles my stomach, not to say that it scares me. But I also know that I can prepare myself to give my best and put affection and professionalism to everything I do.
Fear is not always a signal to stop. Sometimes, it is the sign that we are about to grow, review our goals and decide we want it to happen from here on out.
