Hello, fellow continuous learners and purpose-driven professionals.My name is Silvana Lainfiesta. I’m from Guatemala, and both Spanish and English are my first languages. From a young age I learned American English in private school, which gave me a dual lens I’ve used my entire career to connect people, ideas, and results across cultures.I built my path around one clear mission: amplifying messages of triumph while genuinely benefiting the public. Inspired by representing speakers like Tony Meléndez—who was born without hands yet inspired millions, including the Pope—I dedicated myself to helping others turn challenges into stories that move people and create lasting impact.Over more than 20 years I founded and led Holistic Consulting Guatemala and Limini, a social-responsibility-focused marketing and communications company. We specialized in high-impact work: public relations strategy, brand building, sponsorship attraction, fundraising events, and internal communication that actually changes perception and behaviour.Some of the projects I’m most proud of include coordinating Guatemala City Hall’s first Half-Marathon, the “Run With Your Heart” race supporting the country’s Public Neurology Centre (backed by GNC), and especially “Subida por la Vida / Break the Cycle” for the British Embassy. For that campaign we helped organize a human chain of 12,000 people from the top to the bottom of the iconic Agua Volcano, coordinated more than 50 sponsors and media partners, managed an international media site, and sold out all 10,000 tickets more than a week in advance. Julie Chappell, the former British Ambassador to Guatemala, wrote that I brought “that rare mix of both creative energy and reliability” when others were overwhelmed. The BBC covered the event.I’ve also facilitated workshops and courses on public relations and social media impact for organizations such as Fundación Ralda and Helicópteros de Guatemala, earned recognition from the Spanish Chamber of Commerce.
