Bio
| About | My purpose in life is to help people have a successful career and a fulfilling life, through teaching, consulting and coaching. The values ​​that guide my actions are: humility, service, wisdom, courage, leadership and compassion My doctoral thesis work was a participatory action-research, which resulted in the creation and development of eight social enterprises, in a community called Xico, in Mexico. Later, I did a research stay for a year at the Ecodiálogo Center at the Universidad Veracruzana. As a result, we co-create a community-based personal learning path, we define concepts, values ​​and actions necessary for the creation of business for Buen Vivir (Good Living) and a collective social. entrepreneurship was formed called Integrative Health Community. I am very excited to be part of the SBC community, and learn new and better methodologies to help create social businesses. |
