Esta sessão é uma viagem honesta e reflexiva sobre como os erros, falhas e acidentes moldaram o meu desenvolvimento profissional — fortalecendo-o!

NextGen Careers en

In my session NextGen Career, I explored how individuals and organizations can rethink what a career truly means today. Instead of viewing growth as a straight line, I presented the idea of careers as living journeys shaped by purpose, curiosity, and continuous reinvention. I invited participants to reflect on how values, identity, and adaptability influence professional choices, and how organizations can create environments where people grow through meaning rather than titles. Through storytelling and practical insight, my goal was to inspire a more human and forward-looking vision of work and career development.
