My name is Claudia, and I was born in Colombia. I immigrated to Spain to study my masters, but ultimately I settled in Canada many years ago, and I now live in Calgary. I obtained an undergrad degree in Engineering and a graduate degree in Marketing and an MBA and worked in the corporate world for many years in Colombia, Spain and Canada.
Eight years ago, I found myself hitting rock bottom. I was living in the motions of living. I didn't like what I was doing with my life and where it was heading. I felt without purpose and meaning. I was looking to escape from my mind and my emotions. My outlets were working, partying and dating. But all that they did was deepening my suffering.
To get out of it, I started working on myself and looking within. I opened the connection with my spiritual path. I began to make changes and not allowing myself to get in the way of living my best life. Now that I am on "the other side," I can recognize how all of it was created on my mind. I was living as on autopilot.
During my time in the corporate environment, my views started to change. This occurred as I was going through my inner journey. I began to recognize that individuals are suffering because they are living so much in their minds. They are also limiting their potential as they continue living from a conditioned perspective —they are in the box. I also began to realize that in this fast-changing business environment, corporations that follow the same old approach will not be able to adapt to a world that seeks meaning and purpose. Their out-dated approaches are limiting our society and impacting our global well-being.
My reflections lead me to go back to school and become a Certified Conscious Leadership Coach and the founder of Quantum Thinking. It also inspired me to write this book.
