The enateam staff had the opportunity to enjoy a special, interactive walking seminar, far from the usual confines of the office, with Business & Life Coach Therapon Fakas.
10 unique life lessons inspired by 10 historic landmarks in the city of Xanthi make up “Knowing myself by knowing my city”. Touches of history, imposing Xanthi landmarks, a lovely walk through the picturesque Old Town and useful tips for empowerment and motivation made up the unique experience the team shared.
How can you look inside yourself by viewing our city's monuments and landmarks from a different perspective?
How can Xanthi's clock tower be connected to the distinct personality of each of us?
How can the Hatzidakis house inspire us to believe in our personal vision and pursue the goals we have set with persistence?
These and many other interesting questions raised by our energetic “guide” were the starting point for personal introspection and a search within ourselves for the inner voice that urges us to become everything we dream of, and even more.
The vivid images, the relaxed walk and the interaction of the enateam community outside the company's premises refreshed the team members in body and spirit and strengthened their bonds. Above all, though, every stop on the tour had something to teach us, to inspire us, and to share messages of personal and professional growth.
So what did our team members say about their special experience of “Knowing myself by knowing my city”?
Valia Resta: “Every stop was a lesson, an awakening of our inner voice, a journey into our deepest thoughts. Old stories with new interpretations that made us think. Do we ultimately look beyond what we see? Once again, Therapon planted the seed of growth in the way we perceive circumstances and, above all, in the way we react to them!”
Sevilai Chalim: “An alternative seminar, different from the others. Through Therapon's words and the walk through Xanthi's old town, I realized that the pursuit of happiness might not be a pursuit after all. Happiness, well-being and all the good things in life are right next to us, but we don't see them. We tend to magnify fears and problems that may simply need to be approached from a different ‘perspective’. In short, you can square the circle; all it takes is will and persistence!”
Konstantinos Chalas: “This seminar was a very pleasant experience of getting to know the city of Xanthi and our colleagues, and a unique opportunity for interaction and exchanging ideas”
Marina Pouliou: “The seminar was a lovely experience. Therapon shared his positive energy with us, and what he told us got us thinking. Personally, I enjoyed the walk, which chased away the stress of the working day. My favorite stop on the walk was the house of shadow, which I visited for the first time and was really impressed by!! I hope there will be more seminars like this.”
The afternoon ended with a wonderful After summer party for the whole team at the last stop of our fascinating route, with light food and cocktails at the “Bahamas” café.
ena Development Consultants would like to especially thank Therapon Fakas for a different kind of afternoon, the opportunity for introspection, the interaction and, of course, the boundless energy he shared with us once again.
The seminar was organized by the people of #enaevents, a service of ena Development Consultants that designs and organizes physical, digital and hybrid events.
