She is passionate about reviving the art of conversations. Growing up in Communist Cuba was living with the constant fear about saying the wrong thing and having someone assume it was a counterrevolutionary statement. The consequences could be dire. For her, freedom means been able to explore and express thoughts and emotions to find the best path to action. That’s why she’s passionate about dialogue in conversations.

She believes open communication should be the centerpiece of leadership. A work place where people are afraid to speak their minds lacks engagement and innovation. She shows executives how their most daunting leadership issues can be resolved by creating safe spaces where people are free to express themselves and thus leaders can optimize the power of diversity thinking and leading through conversations.
