Fun Facts About Pilar

My farthest trip was actually to the US from Spain. My whole family went together to do a tour in the East Coast. We were amazed by the height of the New York skyscrapers, the history of Boston and the beauty of Maine and its nature. I would have never imagined that a few years later I would end up living here!
Although I have lived in different cities in Spain, I was born in a very cute town in the south called Cadiz. It is also well known as ‘little Havana.’ A fun anecdote is that when Pierce Brosnan was walking in Havana in the movie Die Another Day, it was not Havana…
I definitely would be a dolphin! Dolphins have a great sense of community. They travel and live in groups and they build long-lasting relationships. In addition, dolphins know how to have fun. This is a style of life we support at Bell Leadership.

A good fire with a cup of hot chocolate on the mountains and a relaxing morning walk on the beach is my ideal.

There are so many…but if I have to pick I would say “People would do better if they knew better.” This underlines the importance of continuous learning and growing to reach our full potential.
