#48 From corporate success to favela empowerment: Finding purpose with Diana Nijboer

#48 From corporate success to favela empowerment: Finding purpose with Diana Nijboer

This Expat Life

From jet setting around the Middle East as HR manager to finding your purpose working with kids in the favelas of Rio... Diana Nijboer made this incredible transition.

Originally from the Netherlands, Diana shares her inspiring journey and what brought her to stay in Rio. Years ago, she enjoyed her exciting life in the Middle East but she realised that she was simply filling a void. She was living a successful life on the outside but felt empty on the inside. A vision that came to her during a leadership course and a big personal challenge changed her direction drastically - and she took action on it.

Please join us in this episode, as this is one of the most beautiful interviews I've done to date. I felt goose bumps throughout the hour with Diana as she so openly tells what she struggled with and how she changed her life. This is such an inspiring episode and one that you'll want to hear!

Diana's story is not only in itself already incredibly inspiring, she also shares tips at the end if you want to find more purpose in your life - because we all reach that point sometime during our life right?

And if you want to support the talented but underprivileged children who Diana through her NGO EduMais works with, there are several ways!

You can share your money, time, talents or connections - all are welcome. Have a look here: https://edumais.org and connect with them on Instagram or LinkedIn
