Ines teaches us how to adapt to an extremely competitive society where we are increasingly valued more by what makes us different than by what we have in common.

How can we maintain and improve our employability? This is the main question answered by You, Incorporated. Ines is a true authority on the subject.

To my children:

To Diego Rafael, whose lucidity has illuminated my life since the day he was born. You have helped me see and understand what I am unable to see on my own.

To Jimena, whose extraordinary attitude inspires me to face lifes difficulties with my head held high... and keep smiling.

To Lorena, whose sharp mind and charming nature pushes me to become a better person and always strive for the best I can be.
