About Leonardo Ravier

leo_b&wLeonardo Ravier, Argentine-Spanish nationality, has been one of the many thousands of Argentinians who emigrated to Spain after the recurring irregularities, interventions and immoralities of the Argentine government that impede the civilized development of its citizens..

Background previous to Coaching

Graduated as Image and Sound Designer (Buenos Aires University- UBA) was an adjunct professor in the subjects of “Audiovisual Production“,”TV Communication“, “IT Applied to Communication“and “Journalistic practices” in the course of “Social Communication” (School of Humanities) at River Plate University (Argentina), and he completed the first three years of his degree in theology before emigrating to Spain.

At Spain, while he introduces into his first business venture in the world of new technologies, complementing with postgraduate teaching in advertising and marketing, and strategic consulting for schools, specializes in coaching (ICF-ASESCO) contributing to the development of coaching through his various projects, enterprises and research on the matter.

Contributions to the development of coaching in Spain

He was the founder and president of “Coaching Corporation Desarrollo Humano S.L.” (one of the first companies to offer coaching services and specialized training in the area. After selling the company received the title of “Honorary Chairman” that preserves to this day ). He devised and founded the first “Master in Personal, Excecutive an Coporate Coaching” certified by the Spanish Association of Coaching helping to raise standards of training in Spain (currently with ACTP certification of the ICF). He was co-founder of the “Coaching Portal” (the first and only Hispanic coaching portal). He was creator, co-founder and Chief Editor of “Coaching Magazine” (he only Hispanic magazine specializing in coaching with international distribution). He has been co-organizer and strategic advisor of the First National Congress of Coaching in Spain. He published the book “Art and Science of Coaching: its History, Philosophy and Essence“. And he was a founding member of the Spanish Association of Coaching (ASESCO) and of the ICF-Spain chapter.

libro“Coaching is the art of discovery science of the human being as an entity. This art is a process that is created between two people (minimum), where one (the coach) tries that the other (the coachee) becomes aware, fortifies its belief in itself and finds motivation to act responsibly, dominating his body, emotions and language, defying itself to achieve his objectives within the dominion of the being and doing.”
Art and Science of Coaching: Its history, Philosophy and Essence, pag. 143 2005.

Despite the growth of coaching as a profession, both in Spain and the rest of the world, and its enormous potential like independent discipline for the development of the individuals (and therefore for the society), considers that in general the profession shows a deficiency in the formulation of its theoretical frameworks as discipline, and therefore in its professional performance. For that reason, his preoccupation focuses on deepening, developening and promote these aspects, contributing to development the own identity of the profession.

Lately

He graduated as Official Master in Austrian School of Economics (Rey Juan Carlos University, Madrid), he specialized as PDG - General Management Program (European University of Madrid) and was formed in “FH Inversiones” as Future Trader (Mini SP 500 of Chicago).

urjcCurrently is developing his economics doctoral thesis, whith the guardianship of Jesús Huerta de Soto, under the new European Education System LOE.

Today, seek to integrate their knowledge and experience in economics, management and coaching as theories, tools and processes for improving the personal, enterprise and social efficiency, under the fundamental principle of individual liberty (see objectives of this blog here), understanding that this one transcends the person and conforms, with the rest of individuals, a complex social framework of relations that well understood contribute to the development of civilization, while on the contrary, the “theoretical myopia” ends up creating misalignments of inefficiency and immorality in any discipline of action.
