Mexico. Sagrario Selene Chávez. Ever since I graduated with my degree in psychology, the majority of my working life I have worked independently in my own practice with the exception of when I taught classes at a university and when I worked for a security company. I’ve always liked business, and I have occupational knowledge of psychology. I have wanted to make a business where I could utilize my passions, likes, and skills that would also not keep me away from my children for so much time.

What that ended up being for me was the Centro Integral Neuropsicopedagógico Infantil, or CINPI in short. (Comprehensive Center for Child Neuropsychopedagogy), a personal idea of mine that I have had since I was a little girl. In México there is no other center like it where all three professions (Neuropsychology, Psychology, Pedagogy) are combined to help learning in any stage of human life. Although in each stage learning is different, brain functions can be enhanced in a general way so that they stay active and healthy. While the CINPI was under construction, I came across INTERWEAVE on Facebook. I was excited because it was a door that led me to a staircase where the first step was already in place to allow safe passage and for me to lose my fear of managing the finances of CINPI. In addition, the project seemed beautiful to me because it considered both the personal aspect and that of the community, which for me represented growing in different directions. Furthermore, I could share with other through instructing them in business while also contributing something to the community. Thanks to MBS, I’ve lost my fear of managing finances and while I had always had a business vision, I was afraid and it wasn’t clear to me how to manage my finances in such a way that my business would grow. Finally that was cleared up for me, I stopped being afraid. Thanks to MBS, I feel more confident and secure in growing the business financially so that its financial health is maintained. Thanks to MBS I reaffirmed that it is possible to carry out a life and career project that enables us to develop fully. Thanks Irina. Thanks MBS for this opportunity.
