Mediated by the People Development coordinator, Prof. Luiza Ribeiro, the chat with the guest speakers allowed for a rich exchange of experiences. The first to share his professional experience with the participants was Luiz France. "Resilience is the point of life's journey and it is what makes us so much stronger", highlighted the speaker when narrating the beginning of his life in Utinga, in the interior of Bahia, from where he left with his family to São Paulo, in search of of better living conditions.

On career development, he presented the concept of essential competence, which is composed of five points: "Passion: people need to find the way to fall in love with what they do; Admiration: you have to do things you admire yourself; Courage: act with the heart; Talent: comprehensiveness and depth; goodness must be integrated into the world. Complementarity: teamwork must be valued, but one must see and value what is good in the other".

The teacher Caroline Feitosa brought a poetic presentation, highlighting the career as a path under construction. She also shared with the public her experience of reinventing herself in her professional career after giving up a position as a public university professor to return to the university. Bahiana, where he has already worked in several sectors. "Throughout these eight years of institution, I am more enchanted every day because it is an institution that actually has this look at what is good in the individual and has this look to develop the individual in his/her potential."
