Fun-fact about me, that when I was young, I wanted to become an astrophysicist.
I even had a small telescope, which - although way too small to watch the stars – allowed me to have a closer view of the Moon’s surface.
Last night I had the honour to be at the Annual Gala Dinner of the Weizmann Institute of Science, held in Zürich, and was particularly excited to watch to Dr. Sagi Ben-Ami's presentation about his research.
Dr. Sagi Ben-Ami is an experimental astrophysicist, is developing advanced instruments and methods that will help detect “bio-signatures”—substances that provide scientific evidence of past or present life—on planets outside of our solar system.
Wow-factor big time!
What I really love when meeting people in science is their passion and dedication for what they do.
My work today is to help business professionals to get unstuck from an unsuitable job and do what that they passionately love, where they find the meaning and see the impact. Work, where they can live their born creativity, innovation.
And here’s the trick: you don’t have to be a famous scientist, a researcher, or a doctor to reach this.
We can find fulfilment in business development, IT, law or being an accountant. The point is that you find what matches your inner drive, your character, the work you were born to do, that gives you the job-satisfaction we all crave.
Are you living your life doing the work you love, where you feel fulfilled, and set the right example to your kids?
Or you give them the message that work is something to endure till retirement, waiting for weekends and holidays to relax, recharge and finally do what you want?
What is the career-life you wish for yourself? What do you do to get there?
Ps: …and visiting the “Very Large Telescope” in Chile is very much on top of my bucket-list!
What's on yours?
