ReDesign Travel + Life Elena Rodriguez Blanco

Have you ever thought of creating a personal tagline that defines your life philosophy and work? In a way, it’s a way to brand your life, a constant reminder of how you want to live in your own style. When you “just flow”, you realise you can embrace the idea of change and life with much more fluidity. This is the life philosophy of this week’s guest, Maurici Segú, a creative leader in the hospitality industry that has worked from getting hotels to transform from places to stories and is an expert in finding the value of what’s within everything you do.

Maurici is also an avid traveller himself for both work and pleasure and has spent almost two years straight sleeping in hotels, leading him to publish his first book: “Solitary Nights in Hotels” where he shares reflections he had at that time. Founder of Innovarout, a consultancy company that takes companies through the innovation cycles, Maurici has worked with hundreds of organisations. He is also a public speaker and professor in several universities in Europe.

Have you been looking to become a more purpose-driven business? Have you taken steps to transform your organization before you re-brand? This week’s episode is all about cultural decoding, purpose rebranding and meaningful innovations. In conversation with Arya Djoehana, we explore how companies can operate without bricks, borders and bosses while being responsible to the environment. Arya Djoehana is a partner at Innate motion, a consulting agency that accelerates change within organisations through empathy and customized experiences. Currently based in Singapore, Arya brings a regenerative economy perspective that is shaping Southeast Asia and moving quickly throughout the world. This episode will give you action-oriented steps towards how to change yourself and your organization.

What makes a good leader? What leadership skills do we need in these times of transition? How can we move from control to trust, from self-leadership to co-leading? Join Mounira Latrache, a pioneer of Google’s mindfulness community with 20+ years of leadership experience at international corporations like Red Bull, BMW and Google, and myself in a conversation of everything from organizational transition to the role of eldership in business. We take a deep dive into the future of business and work. We unwrap self-discovery, mindfulness, compassion, and vulnerability and discuss their role in the workplace. We unearth new lenses on how to explore ourselves to become better leaders. This is a must episode as this year starts to get a new perspective on what type of leader you want to become.

In today's episode, Elena, host of this podcast, reflects on life and business hacks. Elena shares her methods and processes for looking at life and business through a regenerative and expansive lens. Get ideas, inspiration, business and life updates to start your new year.

One way to redesign is to be the bridge: between past and future, between what is and wants to be, between people and ideas, between entrepreneurs and money. In this episode, we go deep with Helena Torras about innovation, future thinking, and changing power structures. We also talk about the role of startups, women and capital, as a unique access point towards new possibilities to change the usual patterns and bring in a different future. Join Helena, a connector of connectors and myself in uncovering how you can be a bridge to bring the future forward.

Helena is the Managing Partner at Pao Capital, where she promotes the tech-startup mindset and women entrepreneurship. She is always connecting the dots between the ecosystem, startups, corporates and investors. She has been selected as one of the top 100 women leaders in Spain and one of the top 30 people to follow on the tech ecosystem on Twitter; Helena is the “in the know” person who constantly connects people and ideas. She also serves as an independent board director of several organisations, such as Barcelona Tech City. Her passion for tech startups led her to become an investor. To create further change in the ecosystem, she has recently co-founded WeRock Capital to boost investment in women-led tech startups and close the gap between tech and the traditional world.

We all have dreams and ideas, but how we go about bringing them down into reality makes the difference between one project to the next. Dragon Dreaming Project Design methodology appeared in my life exactly when I was searching for a holistic project methodology that would look at the projects as a means for us, our team, and the world to transform. In this episode, I am talking with John Croft, a mentor and teacher who has developed the Dragon Dreaming project design methodology and is applied in projects in more than 54 countries worldwide since the 1990s. This episode is a must if you have a new project in mind.

John Croft is an international trainer and consultant, who for 40 years, has worked in the field of ecologically sustainable community education and community economic development. He has worked around the world speaking, educating, and running workshops. He is the co-founder of the Gaia Foundation in Australia and co-designer of the Dragon Dreaming Project Design System Methodology. Dragon Dreaming combines the wisdom of Australian Aborigines, Living Systems Theory, Deep Ecology with methods of traditional project management and the ideas of hundreds of thinkers, educators and change agents such as Gandhi, Paolo Freire, Carl Jung, Joana Macy, Scott Peck, Arnold Mindell, Marshall Rosenberg and others.
