José Luis Miró: disconnect to come back with perspective

For José Luis Miró, president and founder of Almar Consulting, summer is a chance to slow down, spend time with his surroundings, and, above all, regain perspective. 

The sea holds a special place during these months. Between Marbella and the Balearic Islands, José Luis takes the opportunity to enjoy sailing, play sports, and spend more time with family and friends, stepping away for a few days from the usual intensity of professional life.

But disconnecting doesn't necessarily mean stopping thinking about work. Slowing down allows for creating spaces to organize ideas, reflect, and analyze decisions and challenges from a greater distance, which during the day-to-day can be affected by urgency.

A philosophy that also carries over to his way of understanding leadership. Even during breaks, keeping the commitment to clients, projects, and the team remains a priority when it comes to situations that really require attention.

The return after summer begins precisely by putting this perspective into practice: meeting with the team, checking the status of the main projects, setting priorities, and distinguishing what’s truly important from what can wait.

A way of facing a new stage that combines experience, responsibility, and the ability to take a step back, seeing rest not just as a pause, but also as an opportunity to come back with new ideas and a clearer vision of upcoming challenges.
