“We make an excellent team, we are aware of those who depend on us and we support each other.”.
SANTO DOMINGO.- For this young couple who are part of the leadership of Mr Home, where four clans live, family represents one of the pillars of success, the most important company, an intrinsic part of their life project and the corner where they achieve the balance of their emotions.
“We cultivate it day by day with respect, dedication and effort. It is not an easy task; it is about understanding that we are role models and that happiness stems from individuality, and that is reflected in our children,” they maintain.
We allow ourselves to educate ourselves, they say, with kindness, to chat and disagree assertively, understanding that we can think differently, share opinions and negotiate with each other.
Their code of conduct emphasizes the importance of conscience and maturity. They divide the workload to lighten it. “I think we make an excellent team; we’re aware of who depends on us and we support each other.”.
And how do you separate the two? “It’s a challenge to separate work from personal life. I think our success has been due to the love we have as a couple, our professionalism, the admiration we have for each other, our maturity, and the fact that we are aware of and respect boundaries.”.
It's not that work isn't discussed at Juan Carlos and Jennifer's house, because it's the profession they've practiced for over a decade and it's in their blood; rather, they model the style of dedicating space for different moments, reserving exclusivity for family time.
The advantages of sharing a workspace are numerous, they say. “This business is very demanding, and I think working together helps a lot in both areas. It increases passion for what you do; that's been our experience. You also get to see each other's strengths more closely, and you instill the company's values and culture in your family. Since we know each other quite well, we create a good work environment, and above all, you know you have unconditional support.”.
Families currently experiencing crises are urged to practice empathy, talk to each other, and express their feelings. “It’s about understanding, not justifying. It’s also very important to have emotional autonomy, not to depend emotionally on your partner or child to feel good.”.
