Happy Leaders: How to Achieve Success with Purpose and Action, with Claudia Bautista, Happiness and Leadership Mentor, Director of ECO Colombia.

In a world where the balance between success and happiness may seem unattainable, many people wonder how to achieve a fulfilling life without sacrificing one for the other. To answer this question, we interviewed Claudia Bautista, a coaching and mentoring expert and director of Eco Colombia. Claudia shared her experience on how leaders can live with purpose and happiness, based on her personal and professional experiences. Here are the keys to achieving a balanced and fulfilling life.

1. Happiness: The Foundation of Effective Leadership

Claudia emphasizes that happiness is not only desirable but essential for effective leadership. When leaders are happy, their positive energy is reflected in the motivation and performance of their teams. Authentic leadership begins with personal well-being, which is then transmitted to the team. If you want to improve your leadership capabilities, consider integrating practices that promote your personal and professional happiness.

2. Key Differences Between Coaching and Mentoring

Claudia differentiates between coaching and mentoring. Coaching focuses on immediate action and overcoming blocks, while mentoring provides experience-based guidance. Claudia uses both approaches to support her clients. Coaching, in particular, is effective in generating rapid and meaningful change. If you are looking for fast and effective results, coaching could be the tool you need.

3. The Power of Coaching for Immediate Change

Claudia relates how coaching helped her overcome postpartum depression when other forms of therapy were not effective. This active approach to coaching is valuable for those seeking immediate and tangible change in their lives. If you are facing personal or professional blocks, coaching may provide the impetus you need to move forward.

4. Leading From Within: The Key to Coherence

For Claudia, leading effectively requires first managing one's own life. A leader must be able to manage his or her own inner and outer chaos to be coherent and effective in leading a team. If you want to improve your leadership, start by working on your personal development and how you handle daily challenges.

5. Enjoying the Work: Positive Energy and Motivation

Claudia suggests that leaders should find joy and passion in their work. When you love what you do, that positive energy is transmitted to others and improves the work environment. If you're feeling unmotivated, reflect on what you enjoy about your work and look for ways to integrate those passions into your day-to-day.

6. Visualization and Future Goals

Visualization is a powerful tool Claudia uses to achieve her goals. By envisioning big scenarios and working towards her dreams, she maintains focus and determination. If you have long-term goals, use visualization to clarify your objectives and maintain motivation.

7. Leading from Birth: Happiness as a Priority

Claudia stresses that the message of being happy and living with purpose is not limited to a specific stage of life. From birth, we are all destined to pursue happiness. She teaches her daughters to be leaders in their own lives and to develop emotional intelligence. If you want to foster a life of purpose, start at an early age and seek to developkey emotional skills.
