Hi everybody!

Event: teleseminar “The Work We Were Born To Do” in Riga

Place: Ķīpsala, Āzenes Str. 12, auditorium 105 (Faculty of Electronics & Telecommunications)

Topics:

1. The Work We Were Born To Do

Imagine that there are two doctors (technicians, bakers, etc.). One is working only for money, and – of course – has other interesting things to do outside of job time. And there is other, whose profession is his/her greatest passion, source of joy and life mission. Who you will go to? Answer seems obvious.

Who of the two are you? Are you following your great dreams, having the money just as a pleasant byproduct? Well … is it possible? Many of us are educated otherwise. Age-old Protestant ethic is, that working (or doing business) isn’t much connected to joy other than counting income.

Nick Williams, with his years of working in the given area of coaching, says: YES! it is possible for every one of us to do just the very thing we love best – and believe it or not, it can give you even higher profit! Why? Because you love what you do!

Of course there are certain difficulties to get on such a way of life, and Nick deals with them in his papers – and it is THE topic of the event on March 1st.

About "Impatient ones"

There are two kinds of people: “Normal”, or “Patient” ones, who love the constant speed of everyday life; those who enjoy the safety of their routine jobs. And the “Crazy”, or “Impatient” ones, who hate the routine duties – and who thrive at challenge, adventure and new experiences.

Actually, both of these groups are necessary for [...]
