You Can Always Change Direction

In December I'm going on Nomad Cruise, a voyage with 200 other digital nomads (think Semester at Sea for grow ups).
The main criteria for acceptance was on the basis of how would you contribute to the growth of the community, so I'm doing something that scares me. Instead of a "how to spot trends" talk I'm giving one on the importance of failure. By far the best lesson I've learned this year.
The workshop and updated bio pretty much sum up how much I now love and embrace falling down and getting back up again.
Title: You Can Always Change Direction
Beginnings cannot happen without endings. But that's not what we tend to share. Celebrations are shared but hurt and healing tend to be hidden. This interactive workshop is about sharing our collective failures, unexpected left turns, and scraped knees. Since we're all sailing into a new year, now is the perfect time to pause, reflect and in some cases re-chart where you want to go in 2017.
About Amy Daroukakis:
Amy splits her time between advising companies on the latest food and lifestyle trends, helping expats plant roots in Berlin via her co-owned company, Bee in Berlin and coming soon, a line of Uncomfortable greeting cards celebrating life's ups and downs. Amy has proudly been fired three times - rehired twice, divorced once, seduced a twenty-four-year-old, called six cities home, traveled to sixty and convinced the US government to give her a four-year visa via an eco-friendly sex toy business that she started.
If the workshop is a hit, I'll host a similar one in Berlin, NY, Toronto and London, all cities I've happily failed in. #yearofyes
