Pedro Aguado and Elsa Giménez carry out KitCo workshops for young people from the Canary Islands

In life we face many situations where things are not the way we want them to be.

These situations generate a series of emotions that, if poorly managed (not recognized, not accepted or not regulated), lead us to moments that can be really complicated and hopeless.

Through our life stories (Pedro Aguado and Elsa Giménez) and KitCo's games of talents, values and emotions, the boys and girls in these workshops become aware of the power they have to turn the plot of their lives around. The power to turn moments of darkness into a success story through the light we build from them.

Without a doubt, they are high-impact experiences, full of depth, meaning, learning and, above all, stimulation and motivation, both for the boys and girls and for us. Truly inspiring moments.

WORKSHOP 42 BCN FUNDACIÓN TELEFÓNICA – TEAM COHESION & EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING WORKSHOP

We are very proud of the KitCo workshop held at 42 Barcelona, by Fundación Telefónica. 

We had the pleasure of sharing the experience with the programmer participants who were discovering and discovering each other. 

We made a first connection dynamics, so that each person chose an image that inspired them something about themselves and another image that inspired them about what they expect from the 42 Barcelona project. Here we were able to get to know each other a little more, entering into a deeper and more meaningful way, outside of what day-to-day life is like. 

Later we did a recognition feedback game, so that each participant took feedback on what talents & strengths other people perceive in him or herself. 

Through a personal discovery dynamic, each participant explored within themselves their talents & strengths and its weaknesses. Each one comes to create their value proposition, establishing their personal brand, defining what makes them unique. 

Through play and in a fun way we were able to be conscious of values important for each person in the group, as well as the important values for a joint project. 

Finally, the participants asked to know more about the part of emotions, and this is when they discovered the magic word that defines what an emotion is and the magic word to do good emotional management.

Without a doubt we lived wonderful and impactful moments, full of meaning and in a fun and entertaining way. We got a 4.8 out of 5 feedback, some of which are the following: 

  • Very good, the tools that teach great. 
  • It has been very good, congratulations on the idea you have had because it is very good.
  • Interesting. It helps to unite the group and to know oneself better.
  • In everyday life you have many opportunities to get to know others, but we don't always find the time to get to know ourselves. This workshop gives this space and tools to know ourselves. It is relevant to know what matters to us, not what we are told should matter, but those things that truly stir us inside. Another concept of self-recognition is those talents and abilities we have. It is also difficult to recognize that we are good at it, since it is too easy to fall into the belief that there is another person who... yes... yes... the other person does it very well, but so do I. This workshop is very interesting.
  • Suitable activity to get to know your colleagues better

A chemical engineer who, after several years in positions of responsibility at various multinational companies in the energy and technology sector, decided to embark on her own personal project, KitCo. Its mission is to guide people in discovering their potential and developing intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, leading to a more motivated, satisfying, and fulfilling life, and making the world a better place. Its driving principle is:

You have to believe it to create it.

 

She lived on autopilot, working and developing her career, until one day she felt she had a different value to offer. She began volunteering in personal development, until she realized that this was her true calling. Currently, she is an ACTP-accredited coach by the ICF (International Coaching Federation) through ECOI (Escuela de Coaching Integral), a coach for adolescents and families through EEC (Escuela Europea de Coaching), and a sports coach through Quantum Bcn.

She shares this methodology in companies, schools, public institutions, and other settings through workshops and presentations that offer meaningful experiences for learning how to be and how to live together, allowing each unique star within us to shine.

What is KitCo Families?

We have prepared this explanatory video with examples of the games so that you can understand what KitCo Familias consists of and all the potential that it allows you to develop according to the current stage and moment of your life. 

Whether you have small children, as teenagers, or if you don't have children, this game will allow you to live significant moments both with yourself and with the people around you. 

You will see that KitCo Families presents two clearly differentiated blocks, one more playful and the other more for individual reflection.

With the playful part you can take advantage of playing with KitCo with your family, with your partner, with your friends, learning about emotions, sharing deep conversations and expressing feelings that we do not usually express in our day to day, which will lead you to Get to know each other better and improve communication and interpersonal relationships. 

With the individual reflection part you will be able to work on your personal growth process, becoming aware and learning to make decisions that improve the satisfaction and motivation of your life. 

I remember that @ Sílvia Carré, patron of KitCo, called KitCo: “the games brought together for the education of the being”. I loved that name, thank you Sílvia for baptizing KitCo 🙂 with a name that clearly sums up its potential.

I would also like to thank all of you who have allowed us to share your videos in order to explain with real images what the games consist of. Thank you 🙂

KitCo Emotion Cards

We are very happy to show you in this video some examples of the images of the KitCo emotion cards!

In total there are 50 emotion cards to play 8 emotional training games, both individually, as a couple, as a family, with friends or as a team.

One side of the emotion cards shows the inspiring image that makes us connect with the right hemisphere of our brain (intuition, emotion, creativity, etc.) and on the other side we have the concept of emotion and its definition that Through language it makes us connect with the left hemisphere of our brain (logic, reason, etc.). The complete reflection to enter our interior occurs when our intuition, emotion, etc. merges with logic and reason.

Likewise, you will be able to see that on the face of the definition of each emotion a background color is presented depending on the family of the basic emotion with which it is related. For example, the emotion "fun" is related to the family of the basic emotion of "joy", colored yellow.

We hope you like them and that they are very useful for your emotional training!
