About the course

Students will be able to approve or improve their lifestyles, work styles, relationships with others, the strategy of their businesses, their role in their companies and more.

The main idea of the course: if not by vocation then by coercion. Coercion is inevitable be it needs a to be limited. Vocation is harder and more important than coercion but it requires a particular sensitivity with special competencies.

Coercion is not the best form of managing life, but occasionally unavoidable. It exists and it should be properly put in its place. If a person does not live by vocation than they must live under coercion. As the saying goes: “An obedient servant destiny leads, while the non obedient is dragged".
