About me

    I am a psychologist-psychotherapist and philologist. I was born in Madrid, but I have always pursued my international vocation. I am passionate about chess and animals in general, although particularly dogs. I am a compulsive buyer of books that deal with human beings in general and women in particular. I am a quixotic advocate of deep values, and I fight for my ideals, albeit in a peaceful manner. I am optimistic and I feel that the luminous side of humanity will always prevail if we all earnestly strive for it.

    Since 2003, I have been dedicated to professional and personal accompaniment, providing counseling, coaching, training, and emotional support to both individuals and groups. Specialized in Management Skills, I have taught classes at various universities and business schools such as La Salle IGS, Fundesem Business School, ESIC, Universidad Pontifica de Comillas ICADE, Esden, Cesma Business School, Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, and EAE Business School. Previously, I pursued my international career as Director of Procurement and Logistics at the UN and UNICEF (headquarters in New York and Copenhagen), where I trained and managed high-performance teams for emergency and conflict areas (Afghanistan and Iraq). I was also Export Manager at agri-food companies (Cuétara and Chupa Chups) and Trade Advisor at the Commercial Offices of the Embassy of Spain in Egypt and the United Kingdom.

    Clients´ opinions

    Client feedback is very important to me. Please send me your comments. Here are some of the comments I have received:

    Because of our international business the nature of our company (head offices in different countries), I decided to hire Arancha Gayoso for a training course on “Efficient Management of Geographically Dispersed Teams”. The course marked a “before” and “after” in our strategy and results in managing a team with considerable geographical and cultural diversity. Customer Service is out main focal point and we cannot allow this to be compromised by our employees not sharing the same physical location. The professional experience and the personal attitude of Arancha provided an added value that we were unlikely to have obtained without completing the course. The relaxed atmosphere in the sessions helped us to assimilate the intense and highly technical course content more easily, and led us to wonder “why hadn´t I done this before?” renewing our desire to continue innovating in customer services. Highly recommended, without hesitation.

    I loved the course "Skills Interviews ". It is not the first course I have taken, I have quite a few behind me, but without a doubt this has been the best I have done, and that is down to you. Your professionalism is immediately clear and I was delighted. You taught the theory in a very dynamic way and the concepts were made very clear due to the number of practical examples we completed. You know to keep the group attentive and always with a sense of what is to come, I didn’t want it to end. Only one word could assess the course and the training: EXCELLENT. It was a pleasure to meet you Arancha. We have already told the boss that we want to do more of your courses.

    “It grabbed my attention!” A long time ago, as part of the training activities program at the Town Hall of Madrid, I saw a course on "Emotional Intelligence". It was not specific to my field - Computing-, but I still felt curious about something that combined reason and emotions in its title. I applied for the course, and I was offered a place. I was fortunate to be part of a group that was motivated, varied, active and fully open to the knowledge taught another member of the - Arancha-, who with her teaching ability and personal skills, introduced us to self-knowledge, self-motivation, self-control, impulse control and understanding of others in a funny and practical way. "Despite all the years that have gone by, I still remember the knowledge I acquired with enthusiasm and I acknowledge, both the person who taught the course and all those who took part. Wholly recommended for all areas of life, both work and personal."

    My experience with Arancha Gayoso was very positive. I encountered a top quality professional, human trainer, who made the course practical and applicable to everyday life, inviting participants to reflect and to continuously improve, helping them to focus on themselves as a source of change.
