AP, Human Resources Manager- June, 2012

It is not easy to realize that you're dealing with one or more difficulties. I confess that it was pretty hard for me to ask someone for specialized help in ”holistic personal development ", as I thought it was ”something" only ”picky persons " need or it was simply fashionable. I realized pretty quickly that significant changes may occur in the way of seeing the world and relating with oneself and the others.
”The Holistic Personal Development Program" that I went through with Aura helped me, firstly, to believe that there is always a solution to any problem, be it better or worse. Secondly, it restored to me the sense of humor that I thought I had completely lost. I realized that there was always a good thing in  every bad situation.
In the third place, as a human resource manager, I have succeeded to overcome severe criticisms that I frequently received and understand that ” being between the hammer and an anvil” is not so tragic; it actually depends on how you perceive the problem and the solution as well.
I have managed to recover my confidence, optimism and, what I consider essential to the way  I’m relating with the others, I have learned to keep an authentic communication in relationships, respectively to GIVE without expecting anything in return, to ASK without be afraid of refusal, to say NO without feeling guilty, to RECEIVE without feeling indebted.
I have identified together with Aura, passing through an interesting and profound ”Emotional Journey", followed by a ”Professional Journey", some limitative beliefs that led me to unproductive behaviors and attitudes that, all along of Aura,  I successfully removed. I realized how much ”my mind is lying  to me "and I have proposed going from ”to be the slave of my mind” to ”to be the mistress of my mind."
I chose to work with Aura because I knew she had a rich experience in human resources and I needed someone to understand my area of activity and have a ”live” experience on how is it to be a human resources manager that, usually, is not the most beloved person in the company.
I have learned to be myself and to distinguish between a relational behavior and a reacting one and see the people around me (senior managers, colleagues and members of my team, friends etc.) as dialogue partners, not enemies.
What is now very curious to me is that I have begun enjoying challenges, do not consider them a burden anymore but only  ”situations to be solved", that certainly brings me a great benefit because it shows me how much I  have progressed as a person and a professional.
I have admired the professionalism, calm and patience of Aura considering that I'm a kind of ”Doubting Thomas ", the way she accompanied me for the identification of difficulties and finding the most suitable solution for each.
 
I felt that ”she spoke my language "and it was only a matter of time to get the desired results.
