Guillermo Dorronsoro affirmed last Saturday (29th of October 2016) that “changing things means getting involved emotionally”. That’s what I think the protagonists of the initiative that I bring to you this week should have thought at the time they designed it.
Some time ago I introduced you the P.E. (Entrepreneur) and director of the Abando Hotel, Iñigo Mª de la Fuente. If you remember, on that moment I was telling you that from his consultancy Alboriñi Consultores, Iñigo, together with his brother Borja, his colleague Jon Zuazo and his team of young promises, decided to create, among others, the Escuela de Talento/Gaitasun Eskola (School of Talent) that promotes social innovation and servant leadership.
According to its founders, this school should be an “escape valve for people with higher education on unemployment and for working professionals that want to dedicate a part of their free time to share with unemployees, volunteers of the third sector, university students, recently graduates and concerned citizens, their knowledge and the basic ethic values of the Western Europe society”. And all of this, of course, in a selfless way.

The last conference about Change Management that led Guillermo Dorronsoro didn’t leave us indifferent. It taught me new things, it made me think about the actual and future situation, it made me see the economy from another side, it reminded me that what moves the world is not the economy, the power or the desire but the people and their ideas, and that we should learn to change – as a person, organization and society-, that we need to change internally, that we need freedom to change inside the organizations and that we also need leaders, references to hold onto; in conclusion, Guiller reminded me again that there is still a lot more to do but you make the path as you go… we have to anticipate to the change, develop resilience, learn to change what doesn’t work and, most of all, never lose the smile. Thank you Guiller for the possibility you gave me (us) to think about all of these ideas
.I encourage you to go on the site of the Escuela de Talento/Gaitasun Eskola and do some research. I hope we see each other next time.
