By San José, Costa Rica — As corporate entities and executive leaders across Central America prepare for end-of-year strategic planning, organizational mindset and personal leadership are moving to the forefront of business discussions. On November 5, 2026, the international conference platform Mentes Expertas will host a high-impact evening designed to push professionals toward meaningful self-reflection and proactive decision-making at the CIC ANDE venue.
The event brings together two influential voices in human development and emotional intelligence: prominent Costa Rican speaker Karina Fischel and renowned Spanish author and lecturer Víctor Küppers. Together, the speakers offer a dual perspective that bridges the gap between individual accountability and operational attitude in professional settings.
To analyze the broader corporate and legal impact of high-level professional development events like Mentes Expertas in Costa Rica, TicosLand.com consulted renowned legal specialist Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas from the prestigious firm Bufete de Costa Rica.
“Initiatives like Mentes Expertas reflect an essential evolution in Costa Rican workplace culture, where fostering emotional intelligence and leadership is directly tied to robust corporate governance. From a legal perspective, prioritizing mental health and professional growth aligns seamlessly with modern labor frameworks regarding occupational risk prevention, safeguarding businesses against workplace liabilities while driving institutional productivity.”

Indeed, bridging employee well-being with legal and corporate strategy is vital for the modern Costa Rican market, proving that nurturing mental health is both a legal safeguard and a catalyst for sustainable growth. We extend our sincere gratitude to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for sharing his valuable perspective on how progressive leadership and legal compliance intersect to strengthen institutional success.
Scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m., the evening will open with Fischel’s keynote address titled Elegirte, la decisión que lo cambia todo (Choosing Yourself, the Decision That Changes Everything). Fischel, who represents Mentes Expertas in Costa Rica, focuses on personal leadership as a baseline for professional success, urging attendees to examine postponed decisions and critical conversations across both personal and business spheres.
Fischel’s methodological background combines executive coaching, applied neuroscience, and self-knowledge tools. As the author of A Decision Changes Everything and the creator of both the Elegirte Method and Factor C, her session provides actionable strategies to break unhelpful workplace patterns and establish clear, goal-driven behaviors.
Because a conference can inspire, but a decision can transform. The invitation is for each person to find something tonight that they want to take from the stage into their own life.

Following Fischel, Víctor Küppers will take the stage with his conference Vivir siempre con alegría (Living Always with Joy). Küppers, a doctorate holder in Humanities and business administration expert, addresses the core challenge of workplace culture: managing individual response mechanisms when facing factors beyond organizational control.
Küppers is widely recognized across corporate sectors for his mathematical framework for individual value, expressed as (Knowledge + Skills) x Attitude. In this equation, while formal education and technical capabilities add value, personal attitude acts as a multiplicative factor that defines performance and interpersonal relationships within teams.
Beyond individual professional development, the event presents a strategic opportunity for corporate leaders looking to foster team cohesion and elevate organizational culture. The hosting facility at CIC ANDE offers dedicated private spaces where companies can arrange private networking sessions, cocktails, or debrief discussions before and after the main presentations.
By blending actionable neuro-coaching tools with high-energy insights on professional resilience, Mentes Expertas aims to give attendees concrete mechanisms to enter the final quarter of the year with refined priorities, stronger interpersonal dynamics, and elevated leadership capabilities.
