106 Acquisition International - September 2016

Neurocoaching was founded and built by Patricia López, a mentor-coach, and telecommunications engineer for more than 20 years. The company is focused on developing engineers, whether it be getting the know-how themselves, skills, beliefs, or achieving their goals.

eurocoaching looks to show all engineers the inner power they have and bring them into a space for looking inside of what they are, what they are doing and

what are their professional goals. In my view, the world is moving and we (workers, companies and corporate structures) are like big slow dinosaurs that always lag behind. We must forget the old structures, behaviours and beliefs if we want to face the future, giving up being a dinosaur.

This involves a number of different things. Firstly, we need to stop being so concerned for ourselves, and look to others instead. We need to be more engaged with the world and be more prepared to give than to receive.

Furthermore, we have to teach our children and the youth about cooperation and collaboration. The era of competition has finished, the world is a big network where all we need is to do networking and cooperate with each other. If we work together, we are all winners.

To get all of this, we have to learn to listen. I believe that listening can be broken down into three levels: language, body and emotions. Basically, you just need to know the other person, know how a person feels, thinks and needs. Emotional intelligence is so important and perhaps more than ever in this day and age. Emotions are the new leaders, key in the education system, in the healthy system and also in the corporate system.

The world is constantly moving, and the old ways of working are fading into obscurity. Moore’s law is being fulfilled and things are changing in record time. In just a few years “fixed schedules, fixed places, old bosses and competitive workers fighting each other” will be only a redoubt. This is overdue. The type of employee is changing into teleworkers, we will have clients instead of bosses, this is what is called the new teleworking 3.0. Future is almost Present.

Large enterprises (excluding a few) will surely disappear because most are based on nineteenth century needs and structures, and also due to the change of the worker profile. Things, we want or not, are already changing, but do we want to change with them and follow the same rhythm?

Our society must change in many ways, but if I were to focus on one area it would be education. It is so necessary to maintain and increase the training not only in a personal level (it is the key of our success) but also in a professional or corporate side (it is the main gate to a companies success). Technology is moving at the fastest speed ever seen, and it is therefore important to use state of art equipment and to be up to speed with developments in the industry.

Our education system is outdated, and is still focused on the industrial era, which of course ended a long, long time ago. As I said before, everything has changed and continues to change dramatically. Facing this issue can be complicated, and companies have neither the time nor the tools, and things do not work. Coaching appears to be that tool that changes organisations and therefore people from within. Coaching opens the space that we need today to connect with us and our present. To know where we are, what we are doing and who we are today.

All of us in today’s society have been educated in mediocrity, not to stand out, not to seek and strengthen things we are really passionate about. While we are not able to recognise our gifts, abilities and achievements, I believe there is even less value in them when we show them to the world). We are of those who look on what we have not got, what we need, rather than what we do have, and we do well, and the way in which we use this enhances our lives.

Through the discipline of coaching, we can discover our mindsets, learn to change them if they do not help us and change our patterns of behaviour. It also enables one to see things from different perspectives, develop skills we need and uncover the wealth of energy and power we have inside to achieve what we want. For all of this, coaching is a great tool, and the master key that opens the Pandora’s Box of our enormous power.

Neurocoaching is intended for engineers and this specialisation is what separates us from the pack. Because I know the industry, I know their mental

pattern, how we work, how we operate and how we feel. I understand them and all of this is a big connection between us. I know also the different technological enterprises both nationally and internationally and that facilitates communication understanding as well as fluidity and connection when more technical or corporate issues appear.Of course, our industry is no exception to the constant challenges and opportunities faced by businesses today. The main challenges are the misuse of the word ‘coach’ and ‘coaching’, which implies a disregard of our work and our professionalism. There are a large number of coaches there and a lot of people are unaware of the degree of experience and expertise that good coaching requires.

Another important issue is how to reach people who are your target with the right and precise information, but at the same time not by boring them with emails and other materials. In today’s age, it is so important to save yourself from the constant bombardment of information and our aim is to spread the good word about our business in a way that is professional, skilful and accurate. We hope that this strategy will help us build upon our success and begin to help even more businesses thrive in today’s world.
