JAVIER CAÑADA | Training between Ulm and Cádiz

About this episode

Martí Cañellas Trias chats with Javier Cañada about the intersection of design and coaching.

From the very first moment I read about design, I was captivated. Moholy-Nagy said that “designing is not a profession but an attitude of resourcefulness and inventiveness”. Miguel Milá, that it “consists of fulfilling a function while maintaining emotion”. Bruno Munari called it “a method centered around problem-solving”. And Don Norman stated that “the goal is to produce a great product, one that is successful, and that customers love”. I kept wondering to myself: “Doesn’t all this speak to me as a coach?” To explore this connection, I chat with Javier Cañada: someone I dare not classify into any label, adjective, or profession. The conversation is in Catalan. The English version is available in the YouTube video of the episode .
