Daniela Galindo is a speaker, violinist, and creator of Habituario 33, a methodology built around small changes that help people turn inspiration into action.

A Master of Music with a specialization in Violin, Daniela has more than 10 years of experience in performance, education, research, and project leadership. She has worked and developed professional projects across Colombia, Mexico, Bolivia, the United States, and Spain, combining her experience as a violinist, educator, researcher, and leader of music and cultural projects.

As a violinist, she has performed in orchestral and chamber music projects, including the Orquesta Sinfónica de Hidalgo and the Orquesta Filarmónica de Pachuca. She has also founded and led projects such as the Orquesta Sinfónica de Zipaquirá and the Cuarteto de Violines de Cajicá, and has coordinated teams of up to 90 people.

Research has also been an important part of her career. She has developed research and creative research work at the Universidad de Cundinamarca and participated in academic projects related to Latin American music, including a publication on repertoire for violin and guitar from the 20th and 21st centuries.

It was through music education that she began exploring a question that would shape her work: Why do some people know what they need to do to improve, yet struggle to turn that knowledge into consistent practice?

After years of working with musicians and students, she began developing principles and tools around practice, consistency, and small changes. The methodology was initially connected to musical learning and practice, but a personal experience led her to expand its scope.

After being diagnosed with a brain tumor and undergoing emergency surgery, Daniela had to gradually rebuild different areas of her life. During that process, she began applying to her everyday life the principles she had developed over years through music and education, discovering that they could also help people build habits, recover routines, and move forward through periods of change.

She then expanded Habituario 33 beyond musical practice, turning it into a methodology applicable to everyday life. The concept of Tiny Shifts — meaningful small changes — captures this approach to change: rather than trying to transform everything at once, identify one small action that can be started and sustained.

Since its earliest stages of development and application, Habituario 33 has reached more than 1,000 people and has been used in different contexts. Musicians have explored new ways to organize and sustain their study and practice, while others have applied its principles to habits related to reading, nutrition, exercise, awareness, and everyday routines.

As part of an early research and problem-validation stage, Daniela conducted nearly 30 interviews with musicians to understand their challenges, needs, and habits around musical study and practice.

She currently lives in Barcelona and is pursuing an MBA Management STEM at EAE Business School, complementing her artistic and entrepreneurial background with training in strategy, innovation, technology, artificial intelligence, and business development.

As a speaker, Daniela combines storytelling, music, reflection, and participation to create experiences that do more than inspire: they help people identify a Tiny Shift they can begin putting into practice.
