Bio
Sebastian De Lara Gomis
Amy is one of my gurus in life. She was my favorite teacher in high school and we then were able to work together as she advised me through a very difficult period in my life. She is a brilliant and amazing person. Any organization would benefit from having her as a leader, consultant, teacher and mentor. I am lucky to call her my friend.

Tuve la fortuna de participar en un Grupo Master Mind organizdo y dirigido por Amy durante el mes de junio de 2017. Puedo decir, sin temor a exagerar, que este proceso marcó un antes y un después en mi labor profesional y mi perspectiva como educador. Ahora la visión general de las cosas está más presente en mi trabajo cotidiano y tengo más y mejores herramientas para atender los pequeños detalles y grandes retos del día a día. Por supuesto que los demás participantes en el Grupo Master Mind influyeron directamente en la calidad del mismo, pero tengo muy claro que solo alguien como Amy pudo reunir a un grupo tan variado y enriquecedor. Encima de esto, la calidez y el sobresaliente profesionalismo de Amy nos mantuvo enfocados y logró que todos nos pudiéramos enriquecer de la experiencia y visión de cada uno de los asistentes. Mis expectativas antes de iniciar el Grupo Master Mind eran altísimas, pues había escuchado y leído muy buenas referencias de esta metodología, pero fueron superadas con creces gracias al excelente trabajo realizado por Amy. ¡Muchas gracias!
