Changeworker of the Week #40: Tomás Nores: Bringing more kindness and emotional intelligence into the way we work
Jun 19, 2026
For Tomás Nores, meaningful change begins with something deceptively simple: Kindness. Kindness not as a fleeting gesture or a feel-good idea but as a force capable of transforming people, organizations, and communities. As a psychologist and founder of BWell Lab, Tomás works to help individuals and organizations develop emotional intelligence, conscious leadership, and healthier ways of working together.
His work is grounded in the belief that organizations have enormous influence on people’s lives and that workplaces can either contribute to suffering or become spaces where people feel supported, valued, and able to thrive.
Through the #MyPieceForChange campaign, we invite people to share their unique contributions to collective transformation. This series exists to honor their stories, amplify their voices, and connect them with a wider community of like-minded peers. Today, we’re honored to introduce our Changeworker of the Week: Tomás Nores Taş whom we had the pleasure of interviewing for this special spotlight.
What’s your piece for change?
I believe kindness can be a very powerful tool for change. Through kindness we can empower individuals and organizations for change, by providing safe spaces to grow collectively.
What inspired you to begin this work or stay committed to it?
Over the years, I have collaborated with governments, NGOs, and companies, designing strategies for organizational well-being and leadership development.
By working with different people in need I realized how important was emotional intelligence to grow with self esteem and care networks, to have an idea of where your life could go, and how to take care of yourself in the process. My purpose is to help improve people’s quality of life. Work can be either a source of pain or a source of inspiration for society. That’s why I choose to focus on transforming organizations, for the systemic impact they could have in our world. In 2020, I decided to become an entrepreneur, developing and validating well-being, leadership, and emotional intelligence programs. Since then, I have worked with businesses and individuals to build healthier, more human, and sustainable work environments. And that fuels my purpose, which allows me to keep doing so.
What’s one hope or vision you hold for the future?
To create a world where organizations prioritize human well-being, emotional intelligence, and conscious leadership, leading to healthier, more productive, and engaged workplaces.
What support or connection are you currently looking for?
At this point, we are looking for organizations that are going through a rough time. We want to support them, we want to help their leaders to bring a clear path for their teams in the transition, we want to improve the overall satisfaction and well-being for the people that works in that organization.
What’s one thing about your field or topic you wish more people knew, considered, or acted on?
Emotional Intelligence is key for a happier life. We are not talking about toxic positivity, we are understanding and taking agency through the 5 pillars of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Imagine a leader that works through those areas of self development, imagine the impact it would have on their organizations, on their people.
What practices, tools, or resources have supported you most on your changework journey?
Inner Development Goals has been a strong framework that guided us through our work with organizations. Being a validated model it helped us bring inner world to worldwide leaders.
Can you share a moment or experience that deeply shaped the way you approach change today?
It was 2014 and I was working for this NGO in Argentina, where we would be helping for vulnerable institutions with very tough contexts. They way I saw they approached to mindfulness as a tool, the way they learned to regulate their emotions, to understand and practice different social skills it helped me see the power of it.
What collective shift do you believe is needed for meaningful change to happen and what gives you hope that it’s possible?
I believe LOVE could be the answer for all, for other species, for other beings, for our land, for our own home. There are social experiments around the world, like The Social Circle in Cantabria, who are gathering people to talk and experience Radical Love (inspired by Satish Kumar & the Schumacher College).
How do you take care of your own energy or wellbeing while doing this work?
Sometimes it is difficult, I won’t lie. I go to therapy twice a month, I have mentors that support my business, I have a team that helps me amplify our impact, I do yoga every morning, I eat as vegetarian as possible, I have the gift of appreciation and I have meaningful relationships with my loved ones.
Where can people learn more about your work or connect with you?
The Parayma community is rooted in authentic, supportive relationships.
Tomás’s changework reminds us that leadership is also about empathy and connection. Creating environments where people can thrive together.
Thank you, Tomás, for sharing your thoughtful #PieceForChange.
