Ruben is the story of an individual who has relentlessly worked to live his calling and make a great contribution to the world he lives in.
He has lived most of his life in search for meaning and in search for the essential nature of being human. In the process, he has come to realize that a person's potential does not reside outside of oneself. Instead, one's potential is waiting to be revealed and expressed as an inherent reality of their life.
"Most people spend their lifetime looking for solutions to fulfill them. They reach their deaths with great sadness and frustration realizing they failed to find the fulfillment they so much wanted. How different would our world be if most people realized instead that their fulfillment is nowhere to be found? How much longer are we going to live looking for solutions that at best only pacify our existential anxiety? When are we going to remember our true selves and dance without reason?" - Ruben Perczek.
At the early age of seven, Ruben stepped onto a tennis court for the first time. Just eight years later he had won over 50 tournaments, including 5 national championships. He turned pro at the age of 19 and competed in the Davis Cup, representing the Colombian national team. While being a world ranked professional tennis player, Ruben learned how to enter into a state of awareness (commonly referred to by world class athletes as "the zone") where levels of exceptional athletic performance become a reality. At the age of 24, Ruben became a leading actor in prime time television, a theatre producer and a stage actor in Los Angeles. Raising funds to create his own production company, Ruben produced and acted in the West Coast version of "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest". His experience inspired Ruben to want to deepen his understanding of what it means to be a human being and led to his decision to study clinical psychology.
Ruben obtained his doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Miami and a postdoctoral fellowship from Stanford University as one of two individuals accepted from over 400 worldwide applicants. Ruben practiced clinical psychology at Stanford University with a focus on behavior science and at the University of Miami as a professor, in addition to maintaining a private clinical practice. Ruben continues to maintain good standing as a licensed clinical psychologist.
Ruben is currently the Director of the Perczek Leadership Center, a company dedicated to developing the leaders of tomorrow both at the individual and corporate level.
"I do not believe in a person discovering their potential. My approach is to guide an individual to look within his or herself to uncover the potential that is already inside and allow it to unfold in the most natural and authentic way" - Ruben Perczek.
