Hello, my name is Cristian Díaz Gifra, and I am pleased to greet you.

My experience as an international trainer in emotional competencies spans ten years as an emotional educator for all kinds of people and groups; from school groups to corporate teams, I am fortunate to have experienced emotional training in front of a wide variety of audiences.

I would describe myself as an experienced trainer who helps people explore their human potential and develop their emotional skills so that they can apply them both in the workplace and in their personal lives. With a clear preference for group learning, I also greatly enjoy international settings and facilitating in foreign languages.

Training - Knowledge base

I base my interventions in the following specific disciplines:
Work, Organizational and Personnel Psychology

I acquired the knowledge base of this discipline by completing the Official Erasmus Mundus Master's Degree in Psychology of Organizations, Work and Human Resources at the University of Barcelona and the Università degli Studi di Bologna.

Later, as a Wellbeing Companies Consultant at Humanas Salud Organizacional, and later as head of Talent Management and Human Resources at La Granja Ability Training Center, I gained direct experience applying my knowledge in managing people in companies.

Currently, as a professor of the university subject Organizational Behavior at CIEE Barcelona, I continue to update my knowledge of this discipline while teaching it to students from the United States. These are key contents of the scientific literature and of the individual, group, and organizational field of work psychology.

Groups Psychology

From completing the Expert Course in Advances in Leadership Skills at the University of Barcelona, I learned about the potential of personal development training through group action, thanks to the experiential Training Group methodology.

To enhance my knowledge in this subject, I pursued a Master's Degree in Self-Leadership and Group Leadership at the University, where I deepened my understanding of the theoretical foundations of this discipline.

Thanks to years of experience as a facilitator of training in emotional skills for all ages in the Outdoor Training format at the Farm School of Santa María de Palautordera, I have identified the needs and key factors for successful group leadership.

Currently, I still collaborate with the Self-Leadership and Group Leadership team at the University of Barcelona and with La Granja Ability Training Center in the dynamization of training groups.

The term Thymology, proposed by Professor Rafael Bisquerra (2019), would refer to the science that studies emotions.

We are at a time when studies on emotions and their application have grown significantly, providing a large body of evidence for practitioners who want to disseminate their use.

My primary references in Thymology are:

  • Daniel Goleman's Applied Emotional Intelligence Model (1995)

  • The Six Seconds Model in Emotional Intelligence Training (1995)

  • The Emotional Ecology Model of the Ámbito de Barcelona Foundation (1997)

  • Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence (2003)

  • The Pentagonal Model of Emotional Competencies by Rafael Bisquerra (2008)

I believe that continuous updating in this field is necessary to offer a quality service with the best guarantees.
