Santi, the human

Starting with the basics: I’m Santiago (but you can call me Santi), a proud Colombian immigrant, a son to two deeply caring parents, a husband to another badass entrepreneur, brother to two kind, impressive humans, and a father to two fluffy cats (& friend of all cats).

I’m a reader, a drummer, a yogi (but only the hot yoga kind), a very-amateur athlete, an avid international traveler and adventurer, an occasional glamper, and an opportunistic thrill seeker.

I’m an enneagram 8, a student of leadership, and a lifelong learner. I get energy from those around me, I think and feel deeply, and I trust my gut instincts.

I’m Santi, you’re you. Let’s talk.

Agile Engagement

By Santiago Jaramillo and Todd Richardson

Many organizations fail to realize and harness the power of their teams and employees. Agile Engagement offers business leaders a concrete strategy for building, maintaining, and utilizing employee engagement to achieve the highest level of business success. The key? Employees must feel like they are a true part of their company's culture instead of having it handed down to them. Stories of failed employee engagement initiatives abound, and they all have one thing in common: they begin from the premise of "initiative" rather than "employee." True engagement occurs when an employee's heart and mind are activated in a way that leads to their motivation and commitment to positively impact the company's goals and vision. This book shows the reader how to create an environment that inspires a culture of deep care - for mission AND people - at all levels.
