Ten years ago, when I was told that I would not live long, I started writing this book to state my philosophy and the lessons I had learned along the way. I also wanted my children and grandchildren to know more about me.

When I was 73 years old, I found out that my grandfather had been a famous architect. It happened in February 2017, during my first trip to Havana, Cuba, 57 years after I had left.

When reading and learning about coaching, I realized that what I had done before, during my working life was correct: there are many people with good ideas to whom we need to listen.
