What is invisible but essential about YOU? or ESADE? or Barcelona?
Ever since I was young, I’ve been fascinated by human behavior, trying to understand what drives people to do what they do and be who they are. Despite this, it was not until recently that I got to know what motivates me to become a better version of myself, so I’ll share my story:
As a child, I was reserved but had no trouble building meaningful connections with others. Making new friends and trying out new things has always helped me get a sense of what I liked (and disliked). As I progressed through my school years, I also became aware of some of my strengths and weaknesses. However, the idea of deciding who I wanted to be or what I wanted to do seemed fairly distant.
Unfortunately, life goes by very fast, and as you grow older you have to take decisions that will shape who you become. I have always enjoyed travelling and learning about foreign cultures so when it was time for me to go to university, I was happy to have the opportunity to study abroad in Vancouver, Canada. Throughout my undergraduate years, I met some amazing people from all over the world and learned a lot, but I still didn’t know where I wanted to be when I concluded my studies.
At my family’s suggestion, I moved back to Peru and became involved in the family business. I wasn’t very excited about it at first, but soon I became immersed in the world of business and construction.
Every construction project is like a puzzle; unique and challenging. It brings together people from different disciplines and backgrounds to complete a single objective. Success in a project doesn’t come in a single day but is achieved through the persistent effort of many dedicated professionals. Finally, there is a sense of satisfaction that comes from completing a project: whether it’s a house, a road, or a hospital, new infrastructure always brings new opportunities to society.
My experience in the family business helped me realize what I was capable of and what I wanted. I learned that motivation is important to achieve success, no matter how big the challenge; what motivated me throughout those years in the family business was knowing that I was helping to build a better future for those around me. To this day, I continue to challenge myself to achieve that same objective by pursuing an MBA at Esade.
So, if you ever find yourself in the face of uncertainty, be open to new opportunities and follow your heart. You’d be surprised to see what you can find!
