How can I help?

Strategic, practical consulting that breaks with convention. I offer specialized advice, workshops and ongoing strategic support, in Spanish and English.

  1. Advanced selection & internal mobility

    I identify and map your team's knowledge, competencies and skills to uncover internal talent, build on their strengths and place each person in the role where they add the most value to the organization.

  2. Internal reorganization

    I design and guide restructuring processes: clearly defining roles and responsibilities, anticipating their labor and legal implications, and managing change through assertive, transparent and fair communication, with a human touch and without losing sight of customer service.

  3. Training: how to be a good boss

    Practical training for new managers and high-potential leaders: leadership skills, constructive feedback, handling difficult conversations and making timely, sound decisions.

  4. Mediation & conflict resolution

    I guide mediation of workplace conflicts with impartiality, confidentiality and a constructive approach, facilitating dialogue between the parties to reach satisfactory agreements, formalized in writing and followed up.

  5. Labor relations & collective bargaining

    I advise on and support collective bargaining and the design of labor relations strategies, drawing on direct experience in negotiations involving more than 5,000 employees.
