#IAmXicani®™ Still Standing

My name is a Nahuatl word. It means “Still Standing.”

About Me

XICANI®™ means “I’m still standing” in Náhuatl. And this is his story:

Born with Cerebral Palsy, he faced the impossible from day one—and turned every obstacle into a platform for power and purpose.

He is a TEDx Speaker, TV Host, Ontological & Life Coach, and one of the most recognized voices in Latin America on inclusion, resilience, and human leadership.

He’s certified by Central Coaching, The Nossovitch Group, and the International Coaching & Mentoring Federation (ICMF).

He was featured on Shark Tank Mexico, where he presented his project focused on social and labor inclusion for people with disabilities, solidifying his role as a national, and international leader in the field.

With more than 15 years of international experience, XICANI®™ has worked with major companies, governments, universities, and foundations, including:

TEDx, Televisa, Cinépolis, Coca-Cola FEMSA, PepsiCo, MetLife, Tec de Monterrey, Universidad Anáhuac, Universidad Iberoamericana, Universidad Panamericana, Government of the State of Mexico, and Mexico City Government, among others.

He has also been a host and contributor on top media outlets such as Televisa, Imagen Televisión, Grupo Fórmula, Imagen Multimedia, and MVS Radio, becoming one of the first media professionals with a disability to hold active roles in private national media.

He is the founder of internationally awarded initiatives like:

  • Carta de Recomendación (with Fundación ParaLife AC) – awarded at Cannes and other festivals.

  • Alianza Éntrale (with the Mexican Business Council), promoting real labor inclusion.

His style is unique: direct, emotional, honest… and bold as hell.

Every conference, every workshop, every word he speaks—leaves a mark.

Because XICANI®™ doesn’t walk… he opens paths.
