At first sight, knowing yourself seems a simple and even strange task to listen to since many times we think we know ourselves perfectly. However, this is a process that requires perseverance, awareness and, above all, a deep desire for personal growth. But, how does knowledge of oneself relate to leadership? Being a leader requires the mastery of being, the knowledge of oneself, a permanent work that is carried out and renewed day by day, because only by recognizing who I am, what I am passionate about and motivating, will I have clear what I could really offer the world from my possibilities and daily actions. This is one of the great learnings that Ignatian spirituality and leadership has left me through different experiences that I have lived through in recent years, especially the experience of being a facilitator of the Leadership Workshop Course that the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana offers. Under this perspective, the present work aims to analyze from a series of sociological concepts, how experiences based on spirituality and Ignatian leadership, generate and strengthen processes of self-knowledge and reflexivity, thus producing changes in people's lifestyles and practices who live it.
