Leaders of Transformation

Juan Carlos will address a key question for current executive development: whether it is possible to develop leadership without coaching. His intervention will start from a central idea: leadership has changed profoundly and, in a context of accelerated transformation, its importance is greater than ever.

The session will explore what it means today to exercise a new leadership: more antifragile, full of integrity, reputable, and capable of combining compassionate firmness with humble visibility. He will also review the debate on whether a leader is born or made, differentiating between temperament, character, personality, and executive intelligence. From there, he will connect coaching with the leadership development that modern organizations need and with the way we have changed as professionals, teams, and society.

Andrew will address the role of generative artificial intelligence in executive teams and the challenge of moving from experimentation to real deployment within organizations. The session will focus on how to decide where AI adds value, how to integrate it responsibly, and what conversations leaders need to have to support this transformation.

He will also explore the role that executive coaching can play in this context: helping leadership teams think better, make more conscious decisions, and develop the necessary capabilities to guide their organizations in an increasingly complex technological environment.

Alejandro will talk about business competitiveness in a context of constant disruption, where advantage no longer depends solely on technology, costs, or the market, but on the quality of leadership. His intervention will focus on the ability of leaders to anticipate, make better decisions, build trust, attract talent, and mobilize the organization.

He will also address how artificial intelligence is accelerating change across all sectors, and why the most competitive companies will be those that know how to turn technology into real value through culture, talent, purpose, and strategic leadership.

What do a CERN physicist and an actor from the National Dramatic Center have in common? They are the same person, and his story says a lot about how we understand communication. In this talk, Borja Manero dismantles a widespread idea: that communicating well consists, above all, of speaking well. He also explores why so many of us learned to keep quiet before we learned to open our mouths. An invitation to review fear, perfectionism, and the path towards a more personal and connected way of communicating.

Cris will talk about how coaching can accompany leaders beyond the development of technical, cognitive, or emotional skills. Her intervention will focus on the meta-competencies of the being: authenticity, presence, genuine trust, wisdom, and the ability to lead from a more conscious place.

The session will invite participants to review what a leader needs today to generate more cooperative, competent teams prepared to act in highly uncertain and complex environments.

Pilar will address the great challenges of the present in a time marked by the advance of artificial intelligence and the need to reinforce what remains profoundly human. Her intervention will focus on the competencies that will be most relevant in this new context: the ability to learn, to listen, to exercise judgment, and the connection with meaning.

The session will invite reflection on why learning has become a strategic competency, and on the difference between truly listening and merely responding. From there, she will connect technology, humanity, and purpose to pose a fundamental question: what place do we want to occupy as people and as leaders in an increasingly automated world.

John will explore what makes coaching with a human coach continue to be profoundly relevant at a time when artificial intelligence can replicate many rational conversations. His intervention will focus on the coaching relationship as a living, emotional, and experiential space.

Through his approach, he will show how what happens in the present moment of the session allows working with real patterns, emotions, and dynamics that do not always appear in a purely analytical conversation. The session will focus on the transformative value of the relationship between coach and coachee.
