The day started with a deep reflection on personal purpose and values (we never have too many of them!) by Montse and Sophie. The grouping exercise that followed showed profound alignment on our mission and values - such as authenticity, impact, leadership, freedom but also beauty (referring also as inner beauty as you have probably guessed!)
Movie maker and professional storyteller Éric Du Bellay shared his expertise on dramaturgy principles so all could choose how to write their personal story. The results of the intense individual work that followed - beautiful self-transformation stories characterized by strength, will and vulnerability from Shane O’Neill, Menno Bakker and Mathi Michaud - left us speechless and deeply moved… and the curiosity to know even more.
Menno then gave us an impulsion speech on Authentic Leadership, questioning us about the way we are and act, and our impact on others.
The morning closed with a “Train with Shane” kickboxing session with European champion Shane O’Neill at the best boxing studio of the city, Fightland. We were given a warm welcome by Irene Gordo, professional athlete and former champion of Spain and Madrid.
Ush, ush… jab, cross, elbow, knee! Lots of sweating, lots of laughs and a few aching muscles the couple of days that followed, although we had a great stretching session by our fitness expert Mathi Michaud!
Next step is a brand activation workshop by our talented branding expert Des Delchev to keep increasing our reach and impact!
