MÓNICA SUÁREZ CAPTURES THE CROWD WITH HER PRESENTATION

I didn't know what to expect when  Mónica Suárez invited me to her "Business Presentation" but I wanted to support her as I think she is a very bright woman. Well, I was very impressed!!

Yes, Monica does have a great business model and M.S.P. Assistant Services is a much needed platform for the elderly and expats of the area. Plus,  for a person who comes from a translation-based background and who has worked in the hospital system, I believe that her business is a logical step for her skills.

But, I was most impressed with her "presence" during her presentation! She was speaking English and looking directly at her audience. Not once did she look at notes but instead spoke from her heart. You could see the audience was bonding with her and nodding their heads in positive approval with each point she made.

I couldn't hang around too long after the event to congratulate her properly, so I will do it here... CONGRATULATION MONICA - and good luck with your enterprise and all that you do in life!

EDITORIAL * LEADERSHIP AND DREAMS

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. - Walt Disney

One of my most favourite heroes is Walt Disney. I studied this visionary a lot at university and he truly believed that he could turn all of his dreams into realities. Imagine starting with a tiny sketch of a fun mouse to creating the Disney empire? What courage and self awareness drove this man to make such a giant leap of faith?

Some say that Disney was a natural born leader. I say that Disney had to work at his leadership skills, just like we all must. While his passion for the surreal and artistic visions he put forth into the world were valid, he also need financial savvy and to be a leader of people, staff and management. This type of leadership does not happen over night.

Over the past few months, I too have put a couple of my dreams into action. One is a musical pursuit for which I am having a ton of fun with. It is called the CBBlues Network and while it is a social network and magazine on the Internet, it is also a live social forum for dancing, enjoying roots music and performances. I am the editor and mult-media person for the website as well as the hostess at the socials. Now, these skills to put this whole package together didn't just happen over night. It has taken years of education and real world practice to learn how to do all of these tasks. My dream could not of come into being if I didn't have these skills and talents.

The other dream has been a reoccurring dream. The CBHealth News Network is a revamp of an older attempt at this dream, which was called the Spain Health Network. Again, the CBHealth Network is a social  network for both health practitioners and healers, but also for the public to be informed and get to know the healthy pros from their areas. Again, while this is an Internet multi-media project, it also comes alive as a Educational Health Conference whereby people can meet health gurus - one on one! (www.CBHealthNews.com)

The women in this issue of CBWomen magazine all have had ideas and dreams about their lives and the directions and paths that they wished to travel. Then, by using their skills and talents they have taken their dreams and put them into action thereby making them leaders in their communities.

MÓNICA SUÁREZ

Over the past 5 months, whenever I went to any kind of business-type social, I would see Mónica Suárez. Her command of the English language was very impressive and her confidence, flair and sunny smiles gave her a proud and commanding presence. It was a pleasure to finally talk with this striking woman and find out that she is also bringing into the world a valuable business enterprise.

I totally agree with Mónica's assessment that continuous learning is one of the key factors to being a confident leader. It is true that that more you know, the more you can problem solve. As every leader in every epic novel or movie can testify, you need to solve all types of personal, social and economical situation in order to be a leader.

In this interview, it seems that leadership come naturally to Mónica. She has had a prominent role model in her own family, which always helps.

MICHELLE LODGE GONZALEZ

I kept running into Michelle at the numerous fairs that take place in and around Benitachell. Benitachell is a small village, but it is my village and eventually you meet the people who live in your community. She was promoting her reflexology services by handing out flyers and actually giving people treatments in public.

It wasn't long before Michelle was giving me reflexology and causing me both pain and hope that her magic hands would bring me some relief to my personal health condition.

The most prominent trait that exudes from Michelle is her willingness to be the best at what she does. This kind of discipline will go a long way in this world full of slackers. She also has a keen interest in adding more strings to her bow and becoming a multi-dimensional healer and practitioner  She already has reiki treatments on her list and she is learning a lot about nutrition.

In this interview, you will read about a woman with a passion to help people!

JILL COLE

I met Jill at a fundraiser. She is another Benitachell citizen and this is where she has business as well.

Jill introduced me and my everyone at the fundraiser to the art of "sugaring". No - this has nothing to do with cooking but with beauty.

"I wanted to do something I believed in," express Jill.  "It was whilst I was having my legs sugared that I realised I believed in the benefits of Sugaring v Waxing and that I could train to do sugaring in Spain."

Taking this kind of initiative to retrain into a field of practice is exactly the kind of leadership skills that Jill admires. She is leading by example to women everywhere that it is never too late in life to do what you believe in.

CREATIVITY MEANS CHANGE

The one universal truth about life as we know it - is that creativity leads to change. So, this will be my last issue of CBWomen.com as a monthly interview magazine. 

Creativity is what drove me to develop this magazine and now my creative juices are driving me in another direction. So, after this issue, CBWomen will be something new and different.

What can that be, you are asking yourself? Well, basically, instead of publishing monthly interviews, I am going to mix it up with other types of reporting and publishing ON-THE-FLY!!

That's right, I am going to discover and document, as it happens. If I am out at an event and I see my CBWomen making impressions on the world, then I am going to report on that. If I am not able to see a CB woman making er dreams come true, then I am going to telephone her and create a streaming telephone interview.

My philosophy now is that I have the technology, so I am going to use it to be as creative as I want to be!
I also have the knowledge and experience to apply to that technology, so I am going to be innovative with it.
