Do not be second-class

For Vincent Christen, that was exactly the reason why Industry to turn his back: for 8 years he was hired as a skipper on various sailing yachts in Nice. The supposed dream job turned out to be fast as a nightmare:

He could fill a book with bizarre experiences. Instead, he started his own Companys eBike Riviera Tour, with which he rents eBikes and offers guided bike tours. “I just didn't want to be a 'jack of all trades' bucking and being treated badly anymore.

Increased frustration tolerance

“We are currently building a school in Ghana. Convincing sponsors is hard work, but with every refusal I think that someone else will be found, ”says Müller about the acquired frustration tolerance, which now benefits her as an editor as well as her management skills.

“I've become more self-confident and can make decisions more easily,” says the 32-year-old. Your greatest Motivation but is to make others happy. She also likes to sacrifice evenings and weekends for this.

The ability to motivate others

Velika Lawrence is also involved. After completing your PsychologyAfter studying at Queens College, the native New Yorker moved to the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, her parents' home country, and now heads the Rainbow Bridge Project founded by the Italian Carla Pescini, which aims to improve the starting conditions for children on the island.

Also in Germany is honorary Commitment important and useful. The refugee crisis is one of the most controversial issues in recent years. She offers, like everyone Crisis, also opportunities: It brings many companies new sales and creates start-ups. But new ideas are also emerging within established companies.
