Overview

LEADERS OF TRASH: Are you one of them?
How our civilized ideals of leadership trash the Wild with disconnection.

In the year 2013 the brightest men and women in the world worry about big words like sustainability, climate change and environmental pollution. Yet after all our thinking, talking and discussing, the real problems behind these words seem to be getting worse instead of better.

In her new, most heart-felt book yet, Pino Bethencourt Gallagher brings the big words down to the daily, Earthly reality of each reader.

Provocative and full of unusual insights about leadership and personal growth, "LEADERS OF TRASH: Are you one of them?" pushes readers beyond abstract talk of world-size statistics, straight to the heart of the matter: how we each contribute personally to the waste, the trash, and the slow death of the living Planet Earth.

Like the spirals drawn on the ancient walls of evocative caves by aboriginal nomad tribes, we are lured into the mysteries of Evolutionary design: if every animal on the planet instinctively cleans up its own waste to minimize predator threats, what went wrong with the Homo Sapiens Sapiens species?

Winning the race of Evolution made us leaders of every other species on the planet. Wanting to win the never-ending race of technological progress is distracting us from our collective responsibility towards the kingdom of Nature entrusted to us along with our regal crowns.

Hungry thinkers and passionate lovers of Nature are challenged to explore the rigid structures of thought, emotion and behavior that drive us to consume stuff we don't need on a global scale. As we follow this innovative CONNECT spiral of leadership development and personal growth, we become aware of all the little things we do at work and at home every day that fill the world with trash.

Reminding us that leadership is a consequence of Evolution, Bethencourt invites us to relearn how to use the most perfect technology on planet Earth, our own Wild and unpredictable Human body, the way it was designed to be used.

Thought provoking exercises and the latest advances in personal growth techniques tickle our civilized assumptions and tease us back into the Wild spontaneity we left behind us in human history.

If we are to leave a better world to our children, we are called to question our assumptions about civilization and leadership as we explore the secrets revealed through emotion: the true language of the Wild. By relearning the non-linear logic of the human mammal body, we may remember the wisdom or our earliest ancestors and recuperate a deep heart-felt connection to the living planet we emerged from.

"CONNECT is the journey into the unending spiral of who you are, why you are here, and how the Wild that is hidden in you can become the best and most beautiful essence of your contribution to a new TRASHLESS world. To CONNECT is to embrace the Wild within you!"

About the Author

Pino Bethencourt Gallagher is a provocative expert in leadership development and personal growth with the most diverse international experience.

Originally an Industrial Engineer like her father, Pino never built any machines. Instead, she dedicated herself to learning everything she could about what drove the most exquisite machine on Earth: the Human Body.

After a decade of executive experience in France, USA and Spain working for Deloitte Consulting and then for French retail multinational Leroy Merlin, Pino decided to focus full-heartedly on leadership development. With an MBA and a coaching certificate under her belt, she spent the following decade building and closing a boutique consulting firm in Spain, coaching CEOs and board level executives, publishing two books, teaching leadership skills at top-ranking IE Business School and directing tailored executive education programs for women aspiring to lead multinational organizations. A builder at heart, she launched many other change initiatives and innovation projects in parallel. Some worked, some didn't. You gotta keep reinventing yourself until it works!, she explains.

Pino has passionately researched the amazing complexity of human behavior and what drives it ever since she can remember. Her own fierce adventure into the hidden disconnections of her body fueled a tireless quest into leadership literature, coaching tools, evolutionary design, psychology, spirituality, mindfulness, body awareness and any avenue of thinking that could help her improve. Her training is deep and extensive, but she doesn't care much for titles and certifications to justify herself. My credibility is in my eyes, in my voice and in my actions. My work speaks for itself she strongly believes.

Today Pino coaches individuals and facilitates CONNECT leadership and personal growth seminars around the world in English, Spanish, French and Italian*. She sits on the board of the prestigious IWF Leadership Foundation (www.iwforum.org). She collaborates with several top-ranking business schools and stars her own coaching program on a Spanish TV channel. Pino is also developing a non-profit initiative to promote a cleaner planet by making personal growth services accessible to all: The Hill of Tara Foundation. And her new book, LEADERS OF TRASH: Are you one of them?, promises to raise more than a few eyebrows.
