Working people spend a significant amount of time working in their lifetimes. And while work is meant to be “work” and not play, what would happen if people could do the work they were meant to do versus the work other people have for them to do? What if people sought out and did their life’s work? Could it help all the relationships they have in life? How do they even begin such a task? Accidental entrepreneur Denise W. Barreto asks and answers these questions in her first book, From Here to There: Five Steps to Doing Your Life’s Work Every Day.

Funny, high impact and practical - this talk is a great kickoff message for conferences with peer groups or team annual meetings.
