Thanks Yves! You know, this work of writing articles is really helping me to understand better my thoughts and what I’m passing through! When I wrote about social contract I just understood, better, I just remembered, that I had worked with a social contract once, and that it was the best time of working in an Orange company. That a read at the article, I think you will like (). When I started with those articles II was not sure if I was supposed to speak about my history, I was a little afraid of sharing with everyone what was happening, but then I realize that my history was the most precious thing that I had and actually have, and I started! And thanks God I did, as it allowed me to clarify my view, the things that were happening, and I just felt lighter. To write is like to speak with someone, the difference is that when writing you just share your thoughts without the pressure of making senso to somebody that is in front of you!

How to go the distance? Are you still working 12 hours 7 days a week?

Well my days are the same as they were when I was really engaged, I’m working hard, 10 or more hours a day, 7 days, and it is, again, making a lot of sense! I’m learning a lot, I’m sharing what I know, I’m making possible to people to access strategies that worked for me and that may help others too. This makes me really happy!

I loved your way to put it: Orange is one of those company that people outside want to get in and everybody inside want to quit.

That is exactly right! When I shared with my Italian friends that I worked in a big multinational company with thousands of workers they used to say: “You are luck, I work by myself, but always wanted to work in a large company!” And I just used to say: “I would love to work by myself, without a boss telling me what I have and haven’t to do!”

And now here I am, going with my dreams, doing what I know is good for me! Enjoying the beautiful of creation, feeling proud of making sense with no boss!!! Doing things just because I know it has to be done, because it is good to do! It’s a hard work, but it satisfy myself

Are you more disciplined now?

Yes, thanks to this week lectures and work I succeed in find a way that allows me to organize my self, so that I’m doing the right job at the right time. This next week is the pre-selling week for me! I will focus in prepare my “role description” as training facilitator, make some calls to tell people that I’m available to make sense, to help them to solve some of their companies problems. I’m a great problem solver, I created a frame using NLP, Leonardo da Vinci strategies, Edward de Bono Parallel Thinking and LEGGOs, that works really good. In four hours people acquire a problem solution method that works easily for individual and groups, and the participants actually solve a real problem while the learn the frame! I love it, It makes me feel proud about my job! I’m making sense, allowing improvement!

Do you do other stuff that you don’t do at work? This is the great thing for me, I carry on doing what I love, the great things that I was supposed to stop doing if I just stay “parked” in my former orange company. But I do all that I used to do when I did meaningful jobs, I just care and do everything that was possible to do a great job!

Thanks for your questions! You make me think more and find more energies to carryon in this beautufull word full of possibilities!
