Top 5 Strengths
Gallup's Clifton StrengthsFinder Assessment®
João values his time. And also his watch.
There is a special watch in Joao´s family that has been passed down from generation to generation. It is a beautiful, vintage piece, that João treasures like a talisman. The symbolism of time being of such importance to him, it becomes even more evident when his favorite movie director is Christopher Nolan, notable for time bending movies like “Memento” or “Inception”.Dedicated. Scrupulous. Driven.
“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.”
