My client Sara joined our meeting very stressed out; frustration etched on her face. Her new team floundered, lacking direction and motivation. Public speaking made her uncomfortable and really nervous. It was an area she was struggling in. I saw an opportunity. Habit stacking, I suggested, could be the key. Small, daily wins would build confidence. Each morning, Sara would journal her goals, followed by 10 minutes reading a leadership book. During her commute she would listen to leadership podcasts.

At work, the transformation began. Meetings now started with clear objectives and agendas, setting the stage for practicing engaging techniques – eye contact, vocal variety – we had discussed. Each week, a late evening mimicked future challenges as we roleplayed difficult conversations. Between meetings, personalized notes praising contributions or progress toward goals landed in team members' inboxes.

A month in, the shift was undeniable. Projects progressed  efficiently through completion, and surveys reflected a happier, more motivated team. Motivated by her success, Sara, once terrified of public speaking, volunteered for an industry conference presentation. Daily clear communication, bolstered by these additional habits, had woven a tapestry of leadership. Sara's transformation, fueled by consistent improvement, was a testament to the power of habit stacking.

ENGLISH IN A TEACUP EP11: THE FIVE SENSES

El Parque España es una de las áreas verdes que dan vida a la colonia Condesa. Los vecinos acostumbran correr, sacar a pasear a las mascotas, sentarse a tomar un helado, ver los atardeceres o leer el periódico. El parque fue la entrada al desaparecido Hipódromo de la Condesa, ya que ahí se encontraba la Hacienda de la Condesa, una próspera propiedad de la Condesa de Miravalle donde se criaban ovejas, se sembraba maíz y se cultivaban magueyes. Fue diseñado por el arquitecto José Luis Cuevas e inaugurado el 21 de septiembre de 1921 por el presidente municipal Herminio Pérez Abreu quien sembró un ahuehuete como parte de la ceremonia. En torno a este lugar han florecido restaurantes y cafés, enriqueciendo el sentido de comunidad de la colonia reconocida como un buen punto para pasear perros. Es usual ver niños llenando y alegrando el parque, mientras disfrutan las carreras y los juegos por todo el lugar.

Dentro de este espacio hay un monumento al Presidente Lázaro Cárdenas que fue donado en 1974 por un grupo de españoles republicanos refugiados en el país.  El monumento es una representación abstracta de una mano abierta simbolizando la bienvenida de México a los refugiados españoles de la guerra civil.

El Parque España está rodeado  por muchos edificios con gran variedad arquitectónica donde abunda el estilo avant-garde, aunque la colonia es muy conocida por sus edificios art decó y art nouveau. Frente a él, en la calle Guadalajara, se encuentra la casa que fue de Fernando Torreblanca  quien prestó sus servicios a muchos presidentes en la década de los años veinte. El hermoso inmueble fue diseñado por el ingeniero Manuel Luis Stampa y construid0 en 1922.

Dentro del parque se puede disfrutar también la Biblioteca Carlos Fuentes y admirar el  pequeño lago con algunos patos y un hermoso ahuehuete con un estilo parecido al que está en el cercano Parque México.
