I am a woman who loves life. I adore reading, writing and learning about
anything related to human nature and evolutionary leadership. I got married
when I was very young - 17 - had my wonderful son and daughter, and, to make a
long story short, god divorced when I was still very young: 25. At that time,
my kids were 6 and 2 years old, I suddenly found myself alone - my ex husband
literally disappeared from scene - broke and jobless. Back then I really had no
time to get depressed though; I found myself too busy figuring out how to feed
by kids, find a place to live, raise them and move on with our lives. My
parents were living far away and the rest of the family did not seem to be
ready to offer a hand. There were times I just wanted to stop living, but my
kids were my beacons, the forces I needed to trust that everything would be all
right…
So right after divorce, one morning I took my kids by the hand and went
to the local center where all retailers block together and offered myself to
make things like: organizing stock and exhibited goods, re-arranging displays,
wrapping up gift packages (Christmas time was near), etc. I got my first client
that very day and my kids and I lived under tons of paper and ribbons and
bottles and boxes for many months to come...my eldest son still remembers the
joy of helping me with every order. Those were - without being conscious about
it - my first steps towards Excellence Customer Service. I will not bother you
more with my story, I know there are plenty of people who have gone through
great pain and have learnt to take the best out of them rather than the worst,
to survive. But to summarize my experience, I started working for an
international Bank a couple of years later - my first formal job - and from
then on, I started my career in Sales and Customer Service. Have been working
for the corporate arena of luxury brands for more than 25 years. Two of my best
clients throughout the years told me once: "Mónica, you should work on
your own, and help companies and salespeople work like you, because you are an
Excellence Expert" I said to myself at that time: "Wow!! These guys
are crazy...too important a title for me" - But you know what...I am an
Excellence Expert...I have always been. Because I have lived choosing
Excellence every time, no matter what, in my personal and working life. I made
little, medium size and huge mistakes but learnt hot to take responsibility for
them and say “I am sorry” when necessary.
This is just only part
of my life, because God has shown me so many miracles along my journey…One of
them, probably the most outstanding and challenging one was to survive a car
accident with my family back in 1994. That was a true miracle and I know, deep
inside of me, that God´s army of angels descended upon the highway where the
accident took place and gracefully allowed us to survive, get minimum injures,
get recovered in a relatively short period of time and move on with our lives...
God granted us a second chance to enjoy life, to do whatever it takes to craft
the best version of Ourselves while experiencing our enormous blessings. Now
time has come for me to gladly accept the title my clients so kindly gave me
years ago, and plan to do business teaching about Excellence Customer Service strategies
around the World while helping people understand the value of their precious,
unbelievable and glorious life...
