The power of the flamingo<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cKeeping both feet on the ground\u201d is a saying that refers to having a down-to-earth attitude and staying grounded in life. Everyone experiences many things in life, and sometimes those experiences throw us off balance. Through new movements and changes, we find ourselves again and restore stability.<\/p>\n

Flamingos often stand on one leg, preferably in water. They do this for thermoregulation. By keeping one leg in the water, they can cool their bodies; if they were to stand with both legs in the water, they would lose too much body heat.
\nIn addition, a flamingo would sink into the mud with both legs. By standing on one leg, the flamingo can, if it sinks too deep, lift itself up with the other leg, as if pulling itself free.<\/p>\n

For both flamingos and humans, finding stability is important \u2014 and we each do it in our own way. Once you rediscover and maintain your balance, you\u2019ll stand more firmly on your own two feet.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Find Your Own Color and Stand Out from the Rest<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why is a flamingo pink? Young flamingos are born with a soft gray down. The feathers of an adult flamingo range from pale pink to red. They get their color from bacteria and beta-carotene found in their food. A brightly colored flamingo may therefore be healthier than a grayish one.<\/p>\n

The color pink is very feminine and striking, especially in a professional setting. That\u2019s exactly why IAMCLAUDIA chose this distinctive and unique color. The flamingo is also an elegant creature with beautiful qualities. IAMCLAUDIA has expressed what defines her, how she works, and what she wants to convey in her core values.<\/p>\n

The flamingo is a social animal that always lives in groups. Thanks to its adaptability, it can survive in the toughest conditions. Likewise, IAMCLAUDIA is committed to helping people navigate challenging situations through coaching and team coaching programs. The inspiration journeys also call for a great deal of adaptability.<\/p>\n

The saying \u201cBe a flamingo in a flock of pigeons\u201d<\/em> is particularly spot-on. Every person is unique and special. When you stand in your power and act accordingly, you\u2019ll naturally stand out ; just like a flamingo.<\/p>\n

The word flamingo<\/em> comes from the Latin flamma<\/em>, meaning flame<\/em>. Find your flame, your own color and inner passion, and you will distinguish yourself from the rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
