The ESADE Alumni Lleida Club is pleased to invite you to their 9th Annual Conference entitled ‘Realise that you can’ by Irene Villa, psychologist, journalist, humanist, motivational speaker and writer.

In the face of adversity, certain thoughts and attitudes can help us survive. It is up to us to overcome any setbacks that may arise in life.

I believe that with determination, optimism and hope, human beings can achieve anything they decide to do. There is no excuse for not trying. I think that the path of happiness and effort is more effective than competition and fear. A sense of humour, responsibility, self-esteem, courage, respect, generosity and perseverance can all help overcome any obstacles too.

More than anything else, I want everyone to know that they can transform what might be a sad or bitter life into in a life full of joy and happiness; that misfortune does not exist if you know how to tackle it bravely; and that the answer is not out there but inside each one of us.

Before the talk, at 18:30 Irene Villa will be signing copies of her book Saber que se puede. The book will be on sale at this event for €15.
