The woman with a lot of patience, like a majestic mountain.

I met her briefly in an office in Televisa. She is a gentle person and I could confirm that when my brother gave me her number to request this interview.
Automatically she accepted and this is the result about this conversation.
Thanks a lot Kerry for gave me the opportunity to know you better.

ST: Let’s pretend we could travel in time and get back to the exact moment when you decide to follow your dreams. If you could do anything different, what would it be? Or you would do everything exactly the same way? Why?

KA:  I have been lucky to always be following my dreams and have achieved many of them. Many more to still go! I usually say that I need a few clones to do all the things I want to do. I can´t say I would do everything the same way but I am not dissapointed with the way things have turned out, so far.

KA: Richard Branson. Just to listen to his ideas and how he set about achieving them. And what is next?

ST: Kerry you are a coach. A lot of people work with you to be better his english. So, please give us three advices to feel us more comfortables with our english pronunciation.

ST: For you what is the best reward of being a coach?

KA: Seeing my students achieve their goals.

ST: And what is the hardest part of it.

KA: Having students stop and start classes. Their mouth gets lazy if they don’t keep up.

ST: How do you think our fear to make a fool stop us to be better in our jobs or english training, for example?

KA: Focus on making Yourself happy in Your life and go after Your dreams.

KA: I am a morning person. Why?…because I am usually well rested and ready to attack whatever I have to do that day.

ST: If you could be anything: a country, a cloud, a star, the ocean, a building… What would you be and why.
