Guest Bio:

Albert Cervelló Griso was following the path that was expected of him, which he assumed would make him happy. He had studied for a degree, worked for a large multinational, travelled the world, and earned a good salary. He had a place to live, a car, and a significant other. However, upon turning 30 and despite having social status and a good position as a Telecommunications Engineer at one of the best technology companies in the world, he began to feel lost, unmotivated, and anxious.

From a young age, Albert had always been interested in reading self-help and leadership books, in particular, those offering advice on how to feel better and improve oneself. The truth is, like most people, after so many years at school and university, he not only ended up with a degree, but also a great capacity to memorise. Unfortunately, he did not know himself; he did not know what he liked, what he was good at, or what his purpose in life was. He had always been driven by something that had a clear professional outlet. He did not know what emotions were, let alone how to manage conflict, anxiety, and personal relationships.

It was in early 2011 when Albert discovered coaching and embarked on his journey of personal and professional transformation. By following his purpose, aligning his values and strengths, and learning how to manage his emotions, he was finally able to focus on what fulfilled him and made him feel good: personal and organisational development, leadership, and interpersonal skills.
