work with education, training and

It was a very special collection for me.
and from that moment when
I found the question of pleasure in

I started to take work home
I started traveling

realizes that the border of what is

working with education and

one of the essential and fundamental are

It was enough for me in the
my trajectory in my story
I just started to understand that I had
one more step
working with people you have a
huge capacity to build
intimacy intimacy relations
even we know that when people
look at our relationships
built moisture is not a task
easy in relationships that we live
fairly liquidity relations that the
people in society but all the
times I’ve had intimacy at work
were was when I found the places
more powerful in relation to
construction and make the
difference in people’s lives and when
you build this place of intimacy
you access not only your best place
but also the best place of the other
person and when you find the best
someone else’s place you end up
taking a little of that person to the
his life and his trajectory
then these six elements began to
to be part of the concept of what I say

we look at some of them is me
