The power of Awareness in international teams

At Nomadar, I’ve come to realize that awareness isn’t just a value — it’s a daily practice. From the beginning, Nomadar has operated as an international company, with teams and operations in the United States and Spain. That means our rhythm is global by nature.

As we grow, I see how essential it is for everyone — from team members to leaders — to stay aware of each other’s realities, challenges, and needs. Awareness keeps us connected, even when we’re thousands of kilometers apart.

In my professional life, I’ve had the privilege of working with teams from the West Coast of the United States, through Mexico, across Europe, and all the way to China. Those experiences taught me something simple but powerful: real global collaboration is not just about coordination or tools — it’s about people.

It’s about being conscious of the colleague who’s ending their day when yours begins. Of the partner working in another language. Of the client relying on you from across an ocean. Awareness turns distance into understanding.

Leadership Begins with Awareness

At Nomadar, this idea defines how I see leadership. I believe awareness begins with small, intentional gestures. Checking in with a teammate in a different time zone. Adapting communication to make things easier. Being present for a partner or provider facing a different context.

These habits build trust. And trust, in turn, builds culture. Every officer, every leader — myself included — must set the example. Awareness isn’t declared; it’s demonstrated. It’s how we plan meetings, how we respond, how we respect each other’s time.

Teams feel when leadership is truly aware. That feeling creates belonging — and belonging drives performance.

Expanding Awareness Beyond the Team

In a company like Nomadar, awareness doesn’t stop with internal teams. It extends to our partners, providers, and clients around the world. Expanding our level of consciousness means understanding and anticipating the needs of everyone we collaborate with.

It’s what keeps Nomadar aligned across continents. It’s what turns professional relationships into long-term partnerships.

For me, this isn’t just management theory — it’s a conviction.
Because awareness is connection. When people — whether teammates, partners, or clients — truly see and understand each other across borders, they don’t just work together.
They/We grow together.

Public speaking: Essential for Managers and Leaders

Public speaking is no longer a “nice-to-have” skill for managers and executives; it’s an essential tool for effective leadership. Whether presenting quarterly results to stakeholders, rallying a team around a new vision, negotiating partnerships, or representing the company at industry events, the ability to speak clearly and confidently can define the impact of a leader. In a world where communication drives action, mastering public speaking is critical for success.

Managers and executives often face diverse scenarios that require strong public speaking skills. From delivering team meetings and leading workshops to addressing large audiences at conferences or pitching to potential investors, every interaction is an opportunity to inspire, influence, and engage. A well-delivered message can motivate employees, earn trust from stakeholders, and leave a lasting impression in professional circles.

In the field of Investor Relations, public speaking takes on an even greater level of importance. For professionals in IR, CEOs, and executives, every presentation or conversation is an opportunity to act as an ambassador for the company. Whether it’s presenting at investor conferences, hosting earnings calls, or engaging directly with stakeholders, the way leaders communicate has a direct impact on how the company is perceived. Clear, confident, and transparent communication builds trust and strengthens the company’s reputation, ultimately influencing investor confidence and long-term business success.

5 Key Elements to Develop Public Speaking Skills

  1. Confidence through Preparation – Thoroughly know your topic and anticipate questions to project authority.
  2. Understanding Your Audience – Tailor your message to their interests, needs, and level of understanding.
  3. Clarity and Focus – Deliver a concise, well-structured message that avoids unnecessary jargon.
  4. Engaging Delivery – Use storytelling, pauses, and vocal variety to captivate attention.
  5. Body Language – Maintain eye contact, use purposeful gestures, and stand with a confident posture.

The ability to speak in public effectively is more than a personal skill; it’s a strategic tool. It creates a lasting impact on others, driving engagement and trust, and brings the company closer to achieving its objectives by addressing the needs of its clients. When done right, public speaking bridges the gap between vision and action.
