La fuerza de lo frágil | Rafa Jaime | TEDxUJED
¿Qué pasaría si descubrieras que tu mayor debilidad es, en realidad, tu mayor fuente de poder?
En esta charla profundamente humana, Rafa Jaime —abogado, empresario, atleta de aventuras y storyteller— redefine la fragilidad como un punto de partida hacia la creatividad, la resiliencia y la reinvención.
A través de su historia personal de pérdida de la vista y conquista de cumbres como el Everest, nos invita a mirar nuestras propias grietas no como fallas, sino como puertas a nuevas posibilidades.
Una charla inspiradora que te hará repensar la fuerza, la vulnerabilidad y el verdadero significado de ver más allá de los límites. Speaker internacional en Desarrollo de Potencial Estratégico, atleta de alto rendimiento, abogado y doble sobreviviente de cáncer, Rafa Jaime perdió la vista a los 18 años, lo que le dio una nueva perspectiva de vida.

Ha participado en más de 30 expediciones, ultramaratones como el Marathon des Sables (250 km en el Sahara), múltiples Ironmans y fue Campeón Panamericano 2014. Abogado egresado de la Universidad Juárez del Estado de Durango, utiliza su historia para inspirar a personas y organizaciones a descubrir resiliencia, adaptabilidad y alto rendimiento. Como él mismo dice: “Me gusta faltarle el respeto a la vida”. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
