FAQ

It is aimed at professionals and entrepreneurs from any country who want to develop their soft skills by combining personal development, and who are looking to experience an adventure far from their comfort zone!

Do you remember summer camps when you were a child? They were places where you wanted to be and didn't want to go home. Without realizing it, you developed skills such as communication, teamwork, stress management... If it was also themed (art, music, sports), you gained new knowledge in a natural and fun way. The Ser y Hacer Professional Journey connects with that same essence, but from your adult self: you will not only have spaces for learning, fun, and gamification, but also for deep reflection and introspection. All with a clear goal: to develop as a person and, as a natural consequence, as a professional. You will have four types of experiences: - POWER SKILLS WORKSHOPS: A practical and enjoyable approach, full of useful tools that you can apply starting on Monday. - INNER POWER WORKSHOPS: Deep work on your internal blocks, improving your relationship with yourself, your inner listening, and your connection with your purpose. - CULTURAL IMMERSION: Guided tours and gamified activities (challenging and fun) in iconic locations in Japan. - TIME FOR YOU: Spaces to integrate what you have learned, personal moments, and freedom to do whatever you want.

SER + HACER includes the entire travel experience PLUS several additional components: 1) 21 hours of practical workshops combining professional skills + personal growth, 2) an official ICP-LEA certification. If you were to seek out these elements separately, soft skills courses typically cost between €500-2,000, a weekend personal growth retreat costs around €500, and ICP-LEA certification is valued at €1,000. In total, we would be talking about €2,000-3,500 for training alone. If we add that a standard tourist trip to Japan costs between €2,000-2,800 (excluding flights), we are talking about a total of €4,000-6,300. In the end, the main difference is that a tourist trip gives you a memorable experience, while Ser y Hacer gives you that same experience + personal growth for your BEING + practical tools to improve your professional DOING. It's a 3-for-1 deal!

Japan maximizes your neuroplasticity compared to learning in a traditional classroom. It has been proven that leaving your usual environment increases your ability to learn, enhancing skills such as adaptability. Japan has been selected as the ideal destination for its “positive culture shock,” boosting your development exponentially. Do you remember the theory you saw four years ago in a course? Probably not. Do you remember what surprised you about that trip you took as a child? Travel experiences are recorded in the hippocampus in a spectacular way. In addition, Japan provides a charming environment that will not leave you indifferent. As a personal experience: in Japan, I learned more in 10 days about presence, silence, and patience than I did in the 8-week Mindfulness program I took. I loved the program and it planted a seed in me, but the effect of Kyoto was enormous.

Some facts: - Tokyo is the safest city in the world. - Japan has the #2 best healthcare system in the world (and that includes health insurance). - Japan has the most punctual transportation in the world (delays: 18 seconds on average). - The most advanced anti-seismic technology on the planet. Your fear is the reason why it would be great for you to go. Successful people step outside their comfort zone regularly.
