Inma Puig biography
Psychology speaker Inma Puig is a clinical psychologist, business consultant, and one of Spain’s leading authorities on emotional management, high-performance teams, and the human dynamics of elite organizations. Drawing on more than 25 years of psychoanalytic practice, she advises executives, professional athletes, and family enterprises on how emotions shape behavior, performance, and culture inside complex teams.
For 15 years (2003-2018), Inma served as the official psychologist of FC Barcelona, working with the first team and the youth academy at one of football’s most legendary clubs. There she designed the human-relations methodology that helped turn the dressing room into a high-performance environment built on emotional honesty and trust. She has also coached MotoGP and Formula 1 drivers and worked alongside top tennis players for over four decades, giving her a panoramic view of what separates good performers from world-class ones.
From Champions League dressing rooms to the corporate boardroom
Beyond elite sport, Inma is a long-standing professor at IESE Business School and a sought-after consultant for global companies and family-owned firms. Since 2014, she has advised the world-renowned restaurant El Celler de Can Roca on its team culture and emotional architecture — work that inspired the bestselling book Tras las viñas, co-authored with Josep Roca.
She is the author of Retratos de Familia, a deeply human exploration of family enterprises, and La revolución emocional, where she argues that companies that ignore emotion ignore their most valuable performance lever. Her perspective challenges leaders to take feelings as seriously as spreadsheets — because, as she puts it, “we only learn from what touches us emotionally.”
As a speaker, Inma Puig blends clinical rigor with stories from the locker room, the family table, and the C-suite. She helps senior audiences turn emotional intelligence into a measurable performance lever — building teams that commit, leaders who listen, and cultures that endure under pressure.

Inma Puig Keynote Topics
Drawing on 15 years inside FC Barcelona's first team, Inma Puig explores how emotions silently steer team performance — and what senior leaders can do about it. She walks audiences through how to recognize emotional patterns in their teams, manage rivalry and ego before they become political, and create the conditions where elite performers actually want to give their best. The session blends clinical insight with concrete dressing-room and boardroom stories, leaving leaders with a practical framework to lead human beings, not just headcount.
Family-run companies are governed by two systems running in parallel: the business and the family. When emotions, history, and unspoken loyalties collide with strategy and succession, performance suffers. Building on her book Retratos de Familia and decades of advisory work, Inma Puig shows how to surface and manage the emotional layer of family enterprises — covering sibling dynamics, generational handovers, the role of in-laws, and the difference between protecting the family and protecting the business. A session designed for owners, advisors, and next-gen leaders.
We only remember, learn from, and commit to what touches us emotionally — yet most companies still treat emotion as noise. Inma Puig argues that the next leap in performance, retention, and culture is what she calls the emotional revolution: building organizations that respect, share, and consider feelings as deliberately as they do KPIs. The talk lays out why purely rational management is hitting a ceiling, what emotionally mature leadership looks like in practice, and how senior teams can start the shift without falling into corporate sentimentality.
What makes a group of talented individuals become a team that wins under pressure? Inma Puig opens the door to one of the most studied dressing rooms in world sport and translates its lessons for business. The session covers how to build psychological safety without losing edge, how to manage stars without breaking the collective, how to onboard new talent into a high-performing culture, and how to keep a team performing through crises, transitions, and big losses. Practical, evidence-based, and grounded in stories audiences won't hear anywhere else.
Engagement scores have plateaued. Bonuses no longer guarantee discretionary effort. Inma Puig argues that what really moves performance is something more old-fashioned and harder to fake: commitment, rooted in being seen, heard, and trusted at work. In this talk she lays out the difference between compliance, motivation, and commitment, and shows senior leaders how to design humanistic companies — places where people choose to give their best because the culture is worth it. A keynote for leadership teams rethinking culture, talent, and retention.
