Today, two very important events at the same time: #irf2024 congress organized by International Road Federation (IRF) in Istambul and #vyodeal congress by Asociación Española de la Carretera (AEC) in Barcelona. In the first one, our CEO Ibon Aretxalde gives a conference about the use of assets management to improve the Road Safety. In the second one, Amaia Aretxalde Ugartetxe, customer sucess manager, will show examples of Regional Administrations doing very efficient monitoring of traffic signs, road markings, safety barriers and evaluation of the condition of the pavement, in a cost-effective way.

I have been anticipating this for eight months! But not only anticipating, working hard toward this milestone. Going to Dubai! With MDRT Global Conference! How cool is that? So many speakers have asked me: “How did you get this? Who did you know? What are you going to talk about?” And my answer is always the same- “I applied like everyone else. I knew no one who made a connection for me, and I am going to work really hard like I always do to make this talk meaningful and relevant to the financial insurance industry audience.” For those who don’t know, MDRT stands for the Million Dollar Round Table. Over the last year, I have learned just how coveted this engagement is… who knew?! Why did they choose me? One answer is: must be the hand of God. The other answer is: Why NOT Me?! Am I nervous? Of course I am, but I’m more excited than nervous. Excited for the opportunities that I have been given, and the responsibility that it holds. I am part of a peoplehood known for being the People of The Book. And as such, we value words. Either written or spoken. I carry that responsibility as a speaker. I internalize that words have power. Power to not only entertain, or inspire but also shift someone’s perspective, change someone’s mind, opening them to explore other thoughts, and practices. That is a big responsibility! And it is also a privilege- and I don’t take it for granted. What I love about MDRT is the professionalism and planning that goes into such a global conference. Meetings that have been set up for months before the event such as this picture between Clarissa Orr, MS, MDRT amazing professional, and my captain, Bo. They have been mind-blowingly supportive! Can you believe that every speaker gets a captain, and the liaison to make sure that everything goes smoothly? Never before have I experienced this! So, MDRT global conference in Dubai, here I come! Stay tuned here to see some live videos from Dubai :-) #mdrtglobalconference #positiveintelligence #professionalspeaker #oytojoy #cpqc #pq
