Mexico City, November 2024 — Over a three-day event that brought together more than 500 people at the Coyoacán Theater in Mexico City from November 8th to 10th, Chilean Roberto Corona, born in Iquique, shared an unforgettable moment alongside Elizabeth Gilbert, author of the iconic bestseller Eat, Pray, Love, a work that has transformed millions of lives and was adapted into a film starring Julia Roberts.
The conference, part of the Bold Dreams workshop organized by Mari Carmen Obregón, creator of Efecto Wow, provided a transformative space where Roberto Corona shared his inspiring message about the pursuit of happiness and the power of connecting the world through the universal language of a smile.
A Message That Touches the Heart
Roberto Corona's presentation, titled A Journey of Gratitude in Search of Happiness: Collecting Smiles Around the World, stems from his deep belief that "happiness is real when shared." During his talk, Roberto connected with the audience in a profound way, inspiring reflection and evoking deep emotions.
"People approached me with hugs and gestures of affection; the atmosphere was filled with emotions, a beautiful and authentic energy," Roberto shares. For him, the strength of this connection is precisely what gives meaning to his mission as a speaker and a collector of smiles.
A Chilean Proud of His Roots
Corona's journey is not only remarkable for its message of personal transformation but also for his dedication to representing Chile and, in particular, his hometown of Iquique on every stage.
"I feel deeply proud to be Chilean and to share our culture in every corner of the world. Inviting people to discover our traditions, our culture, our roots, is a way of bringing a piece of my country to every place I visit," he shares with emotion.
This sense of belonging has become one of the hallmarks of his work, resonating with audiences who value the authenticity of his message.
A Unique Opportunity with Elizabeth Gilbert
Sharing the stage with Elizabeth Gilbert, author of books like Big Magic, City of Girls, and The Signature of All Things, marked a milestone in Corona's career.
"I deeply admire her work and everything she represents. Being part of this event alongside her, someone who inspires millions to live with authenticity and courage, is an experience that motivates me to keep growing and spreading this message wherever it is needed," he says.
Emotional Education as a Life Mission
In addition to his work as a speaker, Roberto Corona is launching a new collection of children's books titled The Magical Journey of Robi Smiles, a series focused on emotional education and mental health for children. This project is part of the campaign led by his Robi Foundation, promoting essential values such as Respect, Optimism, Wellbeing, and Inspiration. The initiative aims to provide emotional tools to parents and schools, fostering emotional wellbeing from an early age.
A Global Mission of Transformation and Wellbeing
Throughout his career, Corona has traveled to numerous countries, capturing smiles and stories from people of diverse cultures, with the goal of showing that happiness and wellbeing are universal values capable of transforming lives. His message has deeply resonated with audiences of all ages and backgrounds, and his work continues to grow through initiatives like Destino Felicidad, a transformational experience rooted in meaningful travel.
For Corona, the mission is clear: “To inspire every person who attends my conferences and reads my books to live with purpose and believe in the power of their dreams.”
Roberto Corona continues his journey, spreading a message of happiness and hope that deeply connects with people, proving that dreams have no boundaries and that a Chilean voice, from the Atacama Desert, can inspire the entire world.
