Yesterday, Friday 15th April 2011, we had our 6th “Coachtulia” at the Ateneo de Madrid. It is already half a year since we first started in november 2010. We gather to talk about different topics related to coaching. On this occasion our matter of discussion was: “Consciousness and the tricks of mind”.
Standing, left to right: Deme Salas, Paco Torres, Pilar Fernández, Victoria Caro, Michael Thallium, María. Sitting: Carmen Cayuela, Fran Alvarado y Jose Luis Romero.
We started by watching a video of a talk by Dan Dennett at a TED venue back in 2003. Then we started our debate and everyone contributed with their views to the this interesting topic about the consciousness and the tricks of our minds.
We also talked about some inventions by Ray Kurzweil and about the film The Transcendent Man: it seems that machines will also have a consciousness. Then, what will make the human beings different?
If you could not attend this coachtulia and you would like to share your views about this topic, please feel free to leave your comments below.
The next coachtulia, number 7, will be held in May and it will be entitled “Strategy, Leadership & The Soul” after the excellent book by Jennifer Sertl and Koby Huberman: Strategy, Leadership & The Soul.
