Leadership, at its core, is meant to drive progress, inspire teams, and deliver results that move organizations toward a sustainable and thriving future.

At Last
The night we met, At Last by Etta James played overhead. We were at Mellow Mushroom, having dinner and getting to know each other. When that song came on, something about it felt too perfect. We both noticed. I guess to other's it was background noise, but to me it felt like a moment. Almost like it was saying what we hadn’t yet: At last, my love has finally come along.

Translation - Experimento
The following text is a text I wrote more than 10 years ago. I was finishing my studies as a literary translator and at some point we translated Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot. After I contrasted the French version with the English one, I came up with the idea that perhaps Beckett had merely translated himself into English and so I tried to do the same with one of my texts, originally written in Spanish.

Life
