Tu Cerebro es un Mentiroso y aquí Aprenderás a Pillarlo (con Iván Aznar)
**[Únete a nuestro grupo de whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cp2jyUS8Z9a0AsWJ1kbV0f)** **Tu cerebro es un mentiroso: descubre cuándo te miente** es un evento diseñado para ayudarte a entender cómo funciona tu mente más profunda y por qué, muchas veces, no es tu falta de capacidad lo que te detiene, sino las historias que tu propio cerebro te cuenta para mantenerte en tu zona de confort.
A través de una mirada clara al subconsciente, aprenderás cómo se forman las creencias limitantes y cómo estas influyen silenciosamente en tus decisiones, emociones y resultados diarios.
Exploraremos los miedos inconscientes, los patrones automáticos y los mecanismos de autoprotección que el cerebro activa, incluso cuando ya no son útiles. Identificarás al **saboteador interno**, esa voz que duda, posterga, justifica y distorsiona la realidad, haciéndote creer que “no es el momento”, que “no eres suficiente” o que “es demasiado arriesgado”. Comprenderás que este saboteo no es un enemigo, sino una parte de ti que necesita ser reconocida, entendida y reprogramada.
Saldrás con herramientas prácticas para detectar cuándo tu mente te está mintiendo, cuestionar esas narrativas internas y recuperar el control de tus decisiones.
**Coste:** 5€ para gastos de organización.
**Dirección:** Amaltea (calle Diputación 164)
Te esperamos! :)

**About me:**
I'm originally from the Netherlands where I’ve been offering NVC training since 2015. I completed my certification in 2018.
From all the tools and methods I’ve encountered in my journey as a human, social worker, and coach NVC has stood out to me for its clarity, depth, and its unique combination of simplicity and power. I moved to Barcelona in 2024 so I'm excited to continue offering courses and retreats here.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Compensation Data
**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data**
Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics.
The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth.
The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical.
(note: we are back at Rev1 this month!)
**About Our Speaker**
[Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos.
