The book · Talita Ferreira
Talita Ferreira’s first book helps readers unlock their true purpose and manifest their true destiny in the world. It demonstrates how to define who we are and find congruence, balance, wellbeing and integration between our working life and our personal lives. Talita’s first book is about defining who we are in a different way.
She reveals how the rapid changes in the world require a new perspective and supported by relevant global references to the latest research, she demonstrates the sweet spot - where consciousness and connectedness collide - and how everything people do in the future will be purpose-driven and intuition-based.
The author shares her experiences of working with thousands of corporate leaders and teams, in multiple industries during her business life and provides her insights and learning from these encounters. The book demonstrates how she discovered her passion to live in true authenticity, with purpose-driven collaboration and harnessing the diversity of thought. It culminates by launching a unique, new model for people to live and work by, the Authenticity POWER Model. The model is used to demonstrate that with a deeper understanding of true authenticity, in all its elements, an individual can achieve POWER - an acronym standing for authenticity, including: presence; overcoming fear; whole integrated being; effortless flow; and resonance.
The book is packed with relevant research and references ranging from, the World Economic Forum to the predicted Fourth Industrial Revolution, and from the perspective of the Technology Age, to the Decade of People where Millennials will be the leaders of the future. It contains many practical examples and self-reflective questions which clearly illustrate points made. Also, it provides meaningful quotations from a wide variety of wise, international and intellectual sources, from Winston Churchill to Albert Einstein and from Brian Tracey to Dale Carnegie. Each chapter concludes with key insights and reflections gleaned form the author’s journey and personal learnings.
