Let's get to know each other.

At Macula Executive Coaching, we uphold a set of 5 core values that define our purpose and drive our actions.

Curiosity

Generosity

Initiative

Integrity
Integrity is the bedrock of our operations. We understand that true success is impossible without honesty, transparency, and ethical conduct. Every action we take is a reflection of our commitment to integrity, ensuring that our clients can trust us implicitly.
Curiosity
Curiosity includes our relentless pursuit of knowledge,
understanding, and growth. We believe that curiosity fuels

horizons of possibility. It's this insatiable thirst for learning that
allows us to stay ahead in an ever-evolving landscape.

Our 3C’s Coaching Framework

Humans are unique because we have three centers of intelligence: heart (soul), head (mind), and gut (body). These centers reach their full potential when working in harmony.
Our brain is useless without our heart, our body is ineffective without the brain, and our soul remains unexpressed without the other two.

Leaders, teams, and organizations achieve peak performance when they connect with the heart, think coherently, and ensure the three intelligence centers collaborate.
Our coaching process is a holistic approach that includes the following five modules

Evaluation and Goal Setting

We work closely with our clients to analyze their challenges and goals, pinpointing gaps between performance and aspiration. Employing various methods, such as 360-degree feedback, online personality assessments and introspection worksheets, we uncover needs and strengths, laying a robust foundation for their development.

Connection

Once we connect to our heart we Know

We create a non-judgmental safe space where our clients feel a sense of trust and confidentiality, knowing they can openly share their thoughts and experiences. Powerful, thought-provoking questions encourage reflection and insight, leading to profound self-discovery. They gain deeper understanding of themselves, their values, and their life purpose, leading to greater confidence and authenticity in their actions and decisions.

Coherence

Once we clearly see the Truth, we take the lead

Through professional active listening and constructive feedback, we help clients identify limiting beliefs, fears, or other behaviors hindering growth. By uncovering root causes and utilizing reframing and visualization techniques, we assist them in gaining clarity and the courage to redefine success with bold goals. Together, we establish structured, realistic plans focusing on priorities.

Collaboration

Once we come together, we thrive

In the final stage, our focus shifts to action. We will help our clients to embody the insights from previous modules by establishing new habits that regulate emotions and maintain mental fitness. We will set up an accountability system based on their strengths, intuition and external support, helping them stay focused and motivated.

Progress Review and Adjustment

We regularly review progress toward our clients' goals, ensuring they stay on track. We adjust strategies and tactics based on feedback and evolving circumstances, staying flexible and responsive. Celebrating their successes along the way boosts morale and motivates them to achieve even more.

The 3C’s coaching framework is more than just a tool; it's a philosophy, a mindset, a way of life. It empowers leaders to unlock their true potential, explore new possibilities, and make a lasting impact on the world. Join us on this transformative journey-one that begins from within and leads to extraordinary outcomes.

Professional Experience

With nearly two decades of entrepreneurship and corporate leadership experience, I'm a seasoned executive fluent in four languages, thriving in multicultural environments. As Chief Marketing Officer LATAM, I restructured teams, led international marketing, and developed a new brand. I've also driven sales and optimized budgets at renowned brands like Chanel and Dior. As Founder and CEO of Dulce de Lana, I empower low-income families in Mexico. I've coached teams throughout my career and have been professionally coaching for over a year, with 100+ hours of conversations and 20+ clients. Passionate about travel and culture, I've explored over 40 countries. I enjoy reading books about personal growth, human development, and strategy, and I practice yoga and meditation. Currently, I'm also training for a half marathon. :- )

My Story

From a young age, I've been drawn to the mysteries of the human mind and the wisdom of the heart. Philosophy, psychology, and the workings of our brain have always fascinated me, and in my childhood, I was known for being guided by my intuition. However, as I grew older, I veered away from this intrinsic interest and focused on external achievements and conventional measures of success. I pursued a linear corporate career, achieving what many would consider great success.

But everything changed when my first daughter, Emma, was born. Motherhood shook me to my core, challenging me to question everything. Is this path I'm on truly aligned with my purpose? How do I want to show up for my daughter and the world? These questions led me to a pivotal moment where I realized that my career no longer resonated with my values and purpose in life.

I made the bold decision to leave my corporate career behind and founded Dulce de Lana, a brand that embodied my values and mission. It became my anchor through the storms of motherhood, additional pregnancies, and the challenges of the pandemic. Seven years later, I had achieved what I had dreamt of—a loving family, a successful brand, and a sense of fulfillment. Yet, I still felt a deep void within me.

Returning to the corporate world seemed like the logical step, but it didn't bring the fulfillment I sought. It was then that my best friend recommended a German personality online coaching course, which marked the beginning of a profound inner journey.

Through meditation, journaling, and one-to-one coaching sessions, I began to unravel the layers of conditioning and rediscover my true self. It was hard work, but with each step, I felt my heart, gut, and brain aligning, creating a sense of coherence and clarity. For the first time, I no longer sought approval or recognition from others—I knew who I was, and that was enough.

Today, I feel a deep sense of serenity and assurance, knowing that I am aligned with my purpose and values. My journey has taught me that true fulfillment comes from within, and I am grateful for the challenges that have led me back to myself and into coaching.
