More than a hundred people went to the Saló de Graus to listen to the author of the book entitled "Arte y ciencia del coaching. Su historia, filosofía y esencia". Ravier stated that we often live off the backs of brave people who create new things; leaders are those who maintain creativity.

Ravier explained that a coach is a professional person who is specially educated to help people learn more and also learn to self-manage. He emphasised the need to have a theoretical framework to understand “What we do; if we are not sure, then we won’t know what we can do and what we cannot do, because everyone works based on objectives; if there are none, coaching has no meaning”.

Leonardo Ravier continued by saying that, through their work, coaches “help people to reflect, act and make changes.  All of this requires monitoring; it could be called non-directive support: we have the innate ability to discover solutions”.

All companies are searching for people who are motivated, committed, responsible and creative.  “There is nothing that can be done to motivate a person.  You have to find the motivations behind a team, why they act in one way and not in another way”. He concluded.

This conference was held as part of the activities organised for the Postgraduate Degree in Executive Coaching: Strategic Business Leadership, in the Faculty of Humanities.
