Bestselling author
Creator of The Polymath Principle
I’m Ximena Paula Barbano, bestselling author, keynote speaker, event host, and creator of The Polymath Principle.
What moves us? What gives us the courage to change? And why do we sometimes hold on so tightly to a life we’ve already outgrown?
These are the questions I love exploring.
The Polymath Principle connects the different parts of who we are: our knowledge, cultures, experiences, and interests. My work brings psychology, science, creativity, and human experience into conversation, exploring how those connections can help us grow.
On stage, I’m interested in the person behind the role: their hopes, their contradictions, and the possibilities they haven’t yet seen.
As an event host, I bring that same curiosity to the room: listening closely, asking thoughtful questions, and giving people space to share something meaningful.
There’s room for depth and humour. We can take ourselves seriously and still laugh at how wonderfully complicated we are.
