Lola González-Pinto cierra los pasos del método Kaizen. A través de su impresionante historia nos cuenta la importancia de actuar ante la vida. La mejora constante es posible si sigues los 4 pasos. Planea, Haz, Comprueba y Actúa. Me llamo Lola González-Pinto y nací con una parálisis cerebral que afecta a mis piernas y a mi brazo derecho. Desde entonces, la vida me enseñó que las limitaciones físicas no definen la fuerza con la que se vive. A los 21 años, no camino, pero avanzo. Y desde mi silla (que no me frena, sino que me acompaña) he descubierto una forma de ver el mundo que hoy quiero compartir.Desde una silla también se puede ser feliz. Y esa es una de las ideas que más me gusta transmitir en las charlas que doy.En ellas hablo de superación, pero también de alegría, de confianza, de crecer con lo que toca, aunque no sea fácil. No vengo a dar lecciones, sino a tender puentes. A recordarnos que todas las vidas, con sus curvas y sus pausas, merecen ser vividas con ilusión.
Gracias por estar aquí. Bienvenidas y bienvenidos a este viaje que empieza desde mi silla, pero que, con suerte, nos mueve a todos un poco por dentro.
