At the Coalface
At the Coalface is a series of conversations hosted by Philippe Rose.
Philippe's guests share stories about their life beyond the headlines of international affairs. They look for lessons learned about making an impact in the world as practitioners in diplomacy, international organisations, NGOs, journalism and the private sector.
Many of Philippe's guests are connected by their common experience of taking time away from work to attend Fletcher School's Global Master of Arts Programme.

Nelly Arocha Dagdug - Rediscovering purpose, a journey of self-discovery and healing
In this episode, I speak with Nelly Arocha Dagdug. Nelly shares her professional journey working for Mexico’s government on improving transparency in the electoral process and then in the field of information disclosure. Her story gives a fascinating insight into Mexico’s shift towards a more pluralistic political system and the cultural shock that came with it. Our conversation switches gear to explore the other dimension of Nelly’s life, her passion for yoga and meditation that eventually became Nelly’s second career as a coach and meditation teacher. She talks about how she explored her self-awareness and how she guides her clients to do the same. Our episode concludes with a brief guided mediation.
Connect with Nelly on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/nellyarochadagdug. Nelly offers her services in person and on line at nellyarocha.com.
Nelly mentioned she loves reading the poet Rumi and I've found The Masnavi Book One a good way to get familiar with his work.
