L'Apnea come metafora della vita | Chiara Obino | TEDxCagliari
Nel suo toccante intervento Chiara Obino ci guida in un’immersione profonda — non solo nelle acque dell’apnea, ma nell’anima.
Attraverso una potente metafora, Chiara paragona il mondo dell’apnea al nostro percorso di vita, invitandoci a non restare in superficie, ma ad ascoltare ciò che accade dentro di noi.
Perché il silenzio, la profondità e la solitudine non sono ostacoli, ma opportunità per ritrovare sé stessi e diventare più consapevoli.Ma il vero messaggio che porta non è fatto di numeri: è un invito al cambiamento, all’introspezione, al coraggio di affrontare le proprie paure più profonde.
Per lei, un record non è un traguardo, ma uno strumento di crescita.
E la profondità del mare, come quella dell’anima, è un luogo in cui imparare ad ascoltare
Atleta della Nazionale Italiana di Apnea Outdoor, detentrice di 4 record mondiali, 9 italiani, 3 medaglie mondiali e 10 titoli nazionali.Ma ciò che rende davvero unica la sua esperienza va ben oltre i risultati sportivi. A 48 anni, Chiara è madre di due figlie, dentista e titolare di uno studio rinomato a Cagliari. Da alcuni anni porta nelle aziende la sua voce e la sua esperienza, per ispirare il cambiamento attraverso il racconto di come la profondità del mare possa diventare metafora della profondità dell’anima.Crede nel sogno, nella crescita, nella sfida.Perché un record non è un traguardo, ma un mezzo. Uno strumento per esplorare il proprio potenziale, mettersi alla prova e scoprirsi ogni volta un po’ più consapevoli.
