I could talk with you about
the power that we have to connect with
other people because I think that
We underestimate a lot, I’m convinced
that I can tell you the story of my
life through people
they were doing on the road every
person took me from one point to another in a
challenge to another each person
helped to achieve my
objectives and I will not deny it be
connected with a lot of people and
you walk a lot more bearable happens
you were once put to
think about that I think that at the end of the
day
the way is about connecting with other
people
it’s about generating random encounters
the only ones and also while
I prepared this meeting with you I
I started thinking that teaches us to connect
with people
taught them to you while
I thought that I was wondering does what
can teach because each one is unique
each encounter is unique and each one
connected to the rest of the people who
it is a unique place and the reality that does not
you reach a conclusion you can not
teach but he assured that it’s worth
try it in the world of work or of
business is talking about this power
afford to connect as networking
net means to see working wants
say work on building networks of
Contact personally and when you have to
think a bit about this talk and how
accountant this networking experience is
a very cold distant area and for me
it has nothing to do with what he wants
say connect with another person when
I think generates a meeting generated with
another person
I think of a collaborative attitude
I think of an instance of a going and
back when we connect with someone from
there really has to be a round trip
we have to want to generate a
fertile ground for the one who comes to
work so it’s next we have
have to want to multiply also
the world of work and the world
entrepreneur to whom I belong is
they do a lot of activities that
are intended to encourage this
construction of networks
the network tissue are usually
short events that have some talk
a cocktail that the goal is
we find every time one of those
events
what else is exchanged with cards
personal
one more creative others more
traditional one more uglier other lives
but the reality that they are all
different cards that go to the
same drawer down my desk like this
who collects cards unintentionally and
when the exercise to see what happens with
those cards
I realize that you can not associate a
face to each card because when
we connect with someone when we want
that something according to the memorable our
mind works if we only go to
remember those moments that are
extraordinary that are extraordinary
that are different are destructive that
they are better because they are worse
but it’s always something that
normal and I think that connecting that is one
when will you connect with someone to
with all his emotions for counted his
story for good and bad but all
our history and connect has to
see with going open to the opening with the
another I am going to build a link with
a person I will not talk to the charge
that person occupies
that’s why it also happens to us there are people who
believes that the network of contacts that
just a quick passport to a
lots of contacts that another way not
would that people realize is it or
It’s not genuine when you go to the meeting
people realize this way it was that
connecting people
I learned that working as a team I am
a much more intelligent person and
creative
then the most effective gender stuff
better and that’s how it was the
protagonist and participant of the
creation of the community of
biggest entrepreneurs of our
country and for that I want to tell you a
history a few years ago
I worked in a banking company
private in montevideo and that company for
the financial crisis decided to close its
doors in uruguay
that makes Macarena decide to give the
compensation go to europe for a walk
for a while
that trip generated in me an opportunity
bail on uruguay convinced and
knowing that we Uruguayans have the faith
fortune that our country is all
for doing absolutely everything yes and I said
fortune because for me it is a
opportunity
I’m convinced that so I go back
to uruguay
I resume my economic career
left a little half before I leave
thinking so that I wanted to dedicate
which of all the problems
opportunities that I had wanted
resolve and with whom
while a job as a waiter is achieved
in a restaurant on the coast of Rocha
to the east of our country a job
super fun was the first time
I had a lot of fun working and not
Would you go back to the mud
close to that restore one night a
friend tells me you have to meet
felippo I think there are incredible things
together the middle g-30 so in that bar
later appears federico camiña las
introduce federico macarena with this
day the garena all good not those
cold contacts we make by
family and that night was that
we talked for a while and nothing else but in
the running of the days
we were finding in the spa
Chávez is because he was addressing the
strip to eat with your family or with your
friends and consciously or unconsciously
We both wanted to continue the conversation
we wanted to continue talking we come
here I put uncomfortable topics in the
Today , he told us
I was trying not to see if
really I was a person to do
something together generate curiosity
huge because he told me that I have with
what is going to be an incredible team
As they say that, the days go by and
Let’s keep talking
It turns out that Federico was the owner of a
Hostel in that square in La Pedrera have
maintained stable in montevideo had
Hostels in Colonia and within everything
is also opening hostels in
Colombia was dedicated to a person who
how I liked to work alone but
that as I was always looking
projects to which its march
that’s how we kept talking and with
We dream of what later was the
first collaborative workspace
from Uruguay
we add four more founding partners and
together we create synergies with work
synergy was for me my first
entrepreneurship my life
if you play and that a child for that delivery
unconditional is love is to give everything that
I’m from iu during the early stages of
his life
Let’s define what is an excellent
experience many people tell me good
What was the key to successful
company if I am convinced that the
success was not ours
the success was the connection that we achieved
in three work teams and that
entrepreneur community that was formed
and that all he wanted was
collaborate and reach all further away
I convinced
however beyond cinergia today
federico in my friend is a person with
what to eat a Sunday eagerness that we
we join with our families and
share other things we
we connect going far beyond the
reason why initially we
we met
so it was that after entering we thought
energetic federico and we thought a little
good where do we do it as we build
the investment as we name it
what do we do that I got a
I work in an NGO that powers
Successful entrepreneurs is a law
international that also has a
headquarters in montevideo but most
interesting from this headquarters and that has a
Directory composed of businessmen
most prestigious of our country
those people who already have a path
travel and we sure have a
advice then that says I do not have
to take advantage that I am here so that
Some of them advise me and that’s how it was
one afternoon the office had an event
what I was doing
they are all there the same place and in the
moment in the US corridor did not fall
very well apart and I approached him
apologize asking for forgiveness you have
permission to speak to you
apology or doubts that I am
work macarena here the department
acceleration edited team looked at me
Macarena waves do not sell I did not give
account because I was asking for forgiveness
for directing the word because I turned
to that cold sweat from behind
I care what takes time
half an hour that I do not think is a
important entrepreneur because we do that
I remember that and I laugh still
but I appreciate it
so it was that after 10 minutes of
stress I managed to tell you what I wanted
was to have a coffee with him
to what to my surprise this person
it becomes minimized of course to 14m the
bicycle area by we have a coffee
precise that I heard what you
defend about your project but all
we need that I usually ask
to the people
I heard about my companies indecisions
and it was so easy all the nerves that
think what happens to ask him to take a
coffee when to get something totally
normal
that day I learned and I deal with that
moment every day and every time
an entrepreneur came to ask my time
to be given an opinion about his
project is the least we can do
to return our society things
that he has given us and to follow
building a country of entrepreneurs
also that person after the famous
coffee and one of the best advice
they gave me in life forever
align your personal goals with your
career goals
that’s why there is no how failed and what
personal and what is professional is aligned
it is difficult that the queen said
and he was right to hear it once
when people tell you to work this
here we come to work the problems
that remain outside happen or not to me
salts did not come out I never used it the
same chain that is happy because
I squared off annual football the end of
last week or that is sad because
I discussed my boyfriend the day before
I can not separate it because when
connected with people especially of my
emotions of my corporality and emotion
of the desire that I have to know the
another person and for good and for bad I
I have my story and it is part of those
connections that we generate
so it was that that election taught me
many things taught me that all
we have something to contribute to others
that we do not have to be afraid to ask
help
what a wonderful thing to need
help ask someone who does not see it
it’s not that simple , it costs us so much
moment he taught me that taught me that
many times one goes to look for something and
ended up bringing things I did not expect
or it takes things did not expect
only that can happen let’s continue that
I find myself from a foreign place and I do not
we come to that meeting of an attitude
opening
It is not so easy to say very easy not
it’s so easy to do it in this story
of connecting people stone of a friend
my entrepreneur also valentina
I met nelson better Uruguayan than
lives 40 years ago in new york that
he founded a program at a university he
call columbia for companies
Latin Americans a program made to
measure to consolidate and scale
companies in the region is fascinated
with this program I was convinced that
what we need to teach now for
be able to scale
so he has a scholarship and for me
surprise I got it the next
decision that I had to make to choose
to one of my five partners so that I
will accompany in this adventure because the
only condition that put in the
program was that we expect two people
organization all my partners I
they taught me something they gave me something like
all the people who passed by me
lifetime
however on that occasion they are
will invite Federico the copy to
Federico because we are friends because
would be at the quarry in that spa
through camila
we connect much more than to do
business
In addition he had his
hospitals then it seemed to me that
he was going to serve this power to come
with me to spill their own
deal
this was the first of January 2016
we left a plane heading to new york
almost without finishing the festive toast
our families
just as we imagined the program
super demanding
I thought I would 15 days to new york
I did not know New York
I knew the way from the hotel to the
college and university hotel
as we imagine also the
program had a lot of
entrepreneurs and incredible people that
we knew which until today we continue in
contact because in the background beyond
of everything we learned from that
I was also trying this program had
two parts the first part of that
program was to do a project
About our company to identify
where there were processes that required
attention to be able to grow and to
carry out that work was going to us
assign a mentor wants us to go
partner and argue the process
to my surprise as we met the
mentor
we had a very long meeting what
I would say a true encounter
Gregory that’s the name of the mentor
know everything about us and know why
we were there as our families
that offered life goals
we had other things we did that
he did not like that he did not skimp on anything
its time to get to know us and connect
really with us we also
He told about his companies
he had a real estate fund
in the United States in Central America
with all his family
He told us what it was like to live outside of his
country a link that was much more
there for a moment we forgot that
we are in that conversation because
we have to do a project for the
university on the way passed many
things with federico we decided to sell this
first project is the first company and
take a step to the side of what was
synergy and we embark on other
projects, I tell you that it was
gregorio s mentor from columbia who
introduced to federico one of the funds
largest investment bank in america
latina
you would believe me they would believe me in addition
if I tell you that this association is going to
lead to the hospital chain more
big latin america
they would believe me good and went to federico
we found on that beach founding the
first coworking space next to the
university led him to his costs
today they play in major leagues in a few
years will multiply the spaces and
hospitality that they have to me I got to
give the first coworking space but
it also took me today to be part of the
founding team of the first
application of medicine our country
yes just as you hear it today you can
have a medical consultation on your cell phone
also unveiled nico amacoco
chaos and with it power we said will continue
campus the first academy not
traditional that seeks to empower people
through entrepreneurial skills
I do not want to imagine the amount of
things that await me in the amount of
people that I have yet to meet
allow it and mismatches
true go open to generate a
Go get experience building a
find people stories
Believe me you are going to take places that
start
imagine thank you very much
[Applause]
