Mario Alonso Puig

Mario Alonso Puig is a Spanish surgeon, lecturer, author, and specialist in leadership, executive coaching, and the impact of emotional intelligence on health. His work focuses on the mind-body connection, exploring how managing thoughts and emotions can transform human potential and organizational performance.

He trained as a medical doctor and has practiced for more than two decades in hospitals in Spain and the United States; he is a Fellow of Harvard Medical School and a member of the New York Academy of Sciences. His experience as a surgeon, dealing with patients in situations of extreme vulnerability, gave him a deep understanding of resilience and the human capacity to overcome adversity, which became the foundation of his philosophy of personal development.

In the early 2000s, he decided to gradually phase out his surgical practice to devote himself to research and teaching in the field of personal and professional development. He trained in “Human Intelligence” with experts from Harvard and in various coaching and leadership methodologies. His main message is that leadership ability, high performance, and change management depend directly on the quality of internal dialogues and a person’s ability to unleash their creative potential.
