More than 10 years ago, working a corporate job, Dominique Cordero realized she was responsible for her own satisfaction.  She sold everything, bought a one-way ticket to Barcelona and spent a year following her life-long dream of learning Spanish to better understand her heritage, opening her world to an additional 560 million people, and seeing the world through a new lens. The experience was transformational.  She now runs a successful Spanish Language Coaching business. But what she found unexpectedly rewarding is how many of her students are trying to make more meaningful relationships with the people they serve – through their jobs and community.  By helping students learn Spanish, they, in turn, can give an entire population a voice.  They understand that being heard is a fundamental human need.Leadership Principle: Take Ownership.Habits to help with productivity:Lists and checklists play into a bigger idea or project.Sunday review and weekly planning.Communicate about the things that are important.Dance!Green Flags for someone interested in learning a new language: Do you hear a conversation in Spanish and are interested in learning or can you help translate?  If you feel this pull or feel sad missing out on a potential conversation.  Find your why.Advice for anyone looking to learn a new language:Look for structure - a community of people on the same journey or a course.It can be lonely to begin with so find a local community.Where to find Dominique:Website:  My Story | Dominique Cordero | La Mariposa Spanish LessonsInstagram: @la.mariposa.spanish.lessonsFree Offer:  Free Spanish Starter Kit Complementary Resources:What Is Intentional Optimism?Andrea’s Favorite Planning & Productivity ToolsBecome an Intentional Optimist!All my links Health & Wellness: PlexusLeave a rating and review!Apple: just scroll to the bottom, choose a rating and write a review.Podchaser (Android): you can go to this link here and leave a rating and review! https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/intentional-optimists-unconven-1406762 Noom: A Mindful Way to Eat Learn how to intentionally challenge your mindset in order to take control of your health.Skillshare: Spark your creativity.
