Movement • Intention • Real Change

Welcome to my world

A space where I share my perspective on movement and change — in people and organizations. I'm interested in reflecting on (and questioning) the things we often take for granted: who we are, what we do, and what we believe can't change.

About Me

01

I'm Guada.

An Argentine living in Barcelona, a mother, a runner, curious and quite restless.

For more than 15 years I've been accompanying processes of change, first from within organizations and today also from other places that have appeared along the way.

I'm interested in people, in what moves us, what makes us uncomfortable, and everything we believe can't change.

This is the story behind that perspective.

Who I am

I'm here with all the embarrassment this space brings up in me. A space I choose anyway, because something in me knows it's worth the effort to dare.

I'm Guada. An Argentine who, after a long journey, made it happen — I moved to Barcelona fulfilling a dream. A mother, a fan of her family, a runner, curious, a friend, and also someone who deeply needs and values her own space.

The people behind change

I've spent more than 15 years accompanying change processes inside organizations. Often these were changes in teams, structures, ways of working, or the organization itself. And from HR, my role was to accompany the people going through them: to understand why the change mattered, to find their way to get on board, and to move through what that change meant for each of them.

And also to accompany them in their own development and change processes. Because even when the context was an organization, I was always interested in the people themselves: their decisions, their emotions, their possibilities for growth, the ways they moved through a process — sometimes with resistance — and everything at stake when something needs to transform.

Something that wasn't in my plans

With a dad who studied Education and a mom who is an educational psychologist, I always grew up convinced that my path would be very different. Mine was the “corporate world” and, for a long time, I believed my place was in there.

But, as life always has twists we never imagine, I ended up much closer to that world than I would have imagined. My first step was tutoring students in my last years of school, but I thought it was something that “just happened.” Later, I taught at the university where I studied, then came the workshops, the training programs, and even the opportunity to design and build from scratch a learning-focused area inside a large company.

Along the way, I discovered something: my teaching side. I'm not sure it's about teaching what I know, but rather sharing what sparks my curiosity, what I'm passionate about, what lights me up, what makes me think. I'm drawn to opening questions, organizing ideas, sharing perspectives and accompanying others while they find their own.

I think there's also something of that in the way I accompany processes. More than sharing answers, I try to put questions, perspectives and reflections on the table that help others look at something in a different way.

One person, different contexts

I've always felt a certain tension thinking about work and life as completely separate, as if there were one "me" who works and another who lives. I believe we're the same person moving through different contexts. In each one, different parts of us come into play, different ways of relating and reacting to different stimuli appear — but that doesn't make us different people. That's why I believe change should also be thought of this way: as something integral.

The body is part of the experience too

For me, moving has always been much more than exercise. It's a way to feel good, to connect with myself, to sort out what I'm going through and, many times, also to get through difficult moments. Physical movement has something deeply therapeutic and transformative that I love exploring. I never start and finish an activity feeling the same way. I've never regretted moving. I always come out better than I started.

After so many years of training, moving, and looking for different ways to take care of my body, I started integrating this dimension more concretely into my perspective. For me, the body was never something separate. It's the body that accompanies us in everything we do, think, and feel. What's more, our body often knows before our head does — we just live disconnected from it. It's not something apart, or something we can leave for "when we have time." I'm increasingly interested in exploring how much more connected physical movement and internal movement are than we usually think.

That's why I started training to become a personal trainer — out of curiosity, and as a way to keep exploring something that was always present in my life and is now starting to find its place within this perspective.

I'm still working through it, learning and discovering what place it will take. But there's something I'm increasingly clear about: physical wellbeing and internal wellbeing don't feel like two separate pursuits to me.

The thread that connects everything I do is movement and change.
That's why I developed my working method, called VERBO.

“All change starts with an action.

What needs to move for something to change?
