About

I’m Rebecca Carmen Zapf — coach, consultant, and founder of Con Cariño Coaching and Conscious Consulting. My work lives where modern work meets the inner life: technology, leadership, wellbeing, and the deeper human questions that appear when life speeds up. For 15+ years, I worked in international environments at Google, Siemens, and Capgemini Invent—leading cross-functional teams and supporting organizations through transformation. I’ve witnessed both sides of change: the external reality of performance, and the internal reality of nervous systems, identity, and meaning. I loved the energy of building, scaling, and driving transformation. And over time, I became just as interested in the inner side of change: what happens in people when pressure rises, identity shifts, and the pace never slows down. That curiosity became my path.

Why I do this work
AI is not the only reason people struggle—but it is a powerful trigger. It accelerates the world and amplifies what many already feel: overwhelm, distraction, disconnection, and constant self-management. We speak more than ever about mental health and healing—yet burnout and loneliness keep rising. And increasingly, people turn to AI not just for productivity, but for emotional orientation: “What’s wrong with me?” “How do I heal?” “What should I do with my relationship?” “Who am I becoming?” Underneath are timeless questions: purpose, identity, belonging, trust, and love. I do this work because insight is not enough. Real change requires trained awareness—metacognition and embodiment: learning to notice what the mind is doing, what the body is carrying, and how to respond with choice rather than reactivity. Meditation and embodiment are practical foundations for that. I keep returning to this path myself through daily practice, frequent self exploration and Vipassana retreats—and I bring the same grounded approach into my work with individuals and organizations.

Values

Con Cariño means “with care,” shaped by my German-Venezuelan roots. I work with Courage, Clarity, Compassion and Expanded Consciousness—and with a clear intention: change can be deep without being harsh. It can be grounded, honest, and life-giving.

If you feel called to build more capacity—personally or professionally—I’d love to connect.

“This is what I believe: presence is a skill. Resilience is a practice. Leadership—personal and professional—starts in the nervous system.

Meditation and embodiment is a profound way to return to inner freedom.”
