The never-ending search for purpose

Life in the city is buzzing with possibilities, such as achieving that topnotch career that creates an impact on exploring your true inner self. It seems we can have it all, but why don’t we? That go-getter's mentality can also take its toll, creating too much pressure to handle.

On Thursday, November 14, a line-up of great speakers will talk about our never-ending search of finding purpose, both in our jobs and in our personal lives.

The WorldTalks speakers include:

• Sophie Dopheide | People manager Tony Chocolonely (Voted Best Employer 2019)
• Nicole Smalbraak | Philosopher, mindfulness trainer
• Stephan Aarstol | Author The 5 Hour Work Day (on Skype)
• Sharon Harman | Spoken word
• Luuk Heezen | Moderator
