In the two editions of the workshop —held on Wednesday and Thursday this week—, it was announced that, from this year on, an athlete or Para athlete would be invited.
Also, it was anticipated that there will be two workshops per month, in which athletes and Para athletes of Lima 2019 will participate as special guests.
These two editions, that had the participation of Para athlete Carlos Felipa, were held on Wednesday 13 and Thursday 14, in the Derby (13th floor - SUM A and B rooms) and the VIDENA (room 1), from 8:00 a.m. to 9:15 a.m.
SeventyLima 2019 workers employees participated and registered at the event, after receiving an e-mail sent by the functional area.
The organizers of the event remembered that the initial purpose of the Motivational Workshop, which had been carried out since the last year-was to talk about leadership and emotional intelligence to reinforce the values of the Lima 2019 staff, and now it is an excellent opportunity for them to get to know the athletes.
Felipa told his life story, with inspiring phrases and highlighted the importance of applying sports values, such as perseverance, discipline, optimism, to any other area of daily, work or family life.
“I was a soldier defending the flag and fighting for my country; I fought against subversive elements, protecting the people of Lima, and today I continue to do so, not in the battlefield, but the sports field. My dream is still the same. It was a matter of reorienting the dream but not of giving it up.
