How are you investing your time?
Everybody wants to leave their mark in the world. Everybody wants to be productive, to have that ‘can do’ attitude, to possess a winning mindset. The real question here is - what steps are we taking in order to make that happen. This was pretty much the discussion CreativeMornings Lisbon raised to its audience in February.
When João Vitória took the stage at NOW BEATO in February for the latest event of CreativeMornings Lisbon, he had a full room ready to listen to what he had to say. This event was a record in terms of sold out tickets (1 day for 100 tickets) and number of people in the waitlist (sorry, guys!).
“If you invest in something you’ll get something in return.” - this was one of the things he mentioned to this curious audience.
With a long experience in working on innovation projects, as well as with brand communications and digital platforms, Vitória has also worked in TV and journalism, hosting Portugal’s first consumer technology TV show. Last year, after completing an MBA at the Berlin School of Creative Leadership, he decided to fly solo and introduced us to SHKR, his latest project.
It was pretty inspiring to see someone who’s had more than 25 years of work experience not being afraid to try and do something new: studying, writing, filming, launching new projects, leaving a job. Every single action helps to build resilience and a resilient man is what we see in João Vitória. And gosh, did we laugh with him!
Once again, our event was held at Now Beato, whose cosy atmosphere made everyone feel at home.
Nomadx was again our sponsor: they offer the breakfast catering by Kitschen, allowing our beautiful audience pay special attention to each month’s talk because their bellies are filled with love and delicious food.
Having said this, here’s some food for thought:
- Identify exactly what scares you, what are you afraid of. After doing that, just go and do stuff.
- Creativity is an attitude, not a department or a measurable task.
- Everyone has the potential to be amazing at something. One of greatest impediment to creativity is our impatience.
