Elias' Min Chuan University Speech |
On October 25 Enspyre co-founder and President Elias Ek gave a speech for Dr. Rolando Chang's International Business class at Min Chuan University. It is an interesting class because out of the 70 students in the class, 60 are from other countries. Dr Chang said he had counted that they came from a total of 23 countries! Elias and Dr. Chang had made each others aquaintance at the ISBC2010 conference where both were speakers. Dr. Chang liked Elias' presentation and asked him to come and give a speech about himself, Enspyre, doing business in Taiwan, entrepreneurship etc. Elias says "I really enjoyed speaking to this class because they were asking me lots of questions. That is always a good sign that they are staying awake and find some value in the presentation." Elias is himself very passionate about all aspects of Enspyre - phone answering for small companies, B2B telemarketing, Swedish language classes, corporate training, female power seminars, movie promotions (check out http://www.my-blind-uncle.com) etc and a big part of the discussions was spent on finding out what you like. While it might not be a pre-requisite, liking what you do makes it much easier to be really good at it. And unless you try a few things by volunteering, interning, taking part-time jobs, traveling around etc, how will you ever find what you like? This is why Enspyre has launched one of Taiwan's most ambitious internship programs. Take a chance, have some fun! After the lecture, Elias is speaking to students about the Enspyre internship program.
在10月25日,安石國際商務的共同創辦人與總經理為銘傳大學張教授的國際企業課程進行了一場演講。這是一場饒富趣味的課程,因為在全體70名同學中,就有60名同學來自海外23個不同國家,形同一場模擬聯合國! 張教授與Elias在 ISBC2010會議中認識,當時兩人均為該會議的講者,由於張教授相當欣賞Elias的演講,因此特別邀請他至銘傳大學進行講作,介紹他自己、Enspyre,以及分享在台經商的種種和創業相關議題。 Elias說道:「我非常享受這次的演講,因為同學們問了我很多問題,而這永遠是個好象徵,象徵聽眾們都還醒著且他們的確有從這演講中發現一些價值。」 演講中,Elias對於Enspyre安石的各方面都非常具有熱忱,無論是中小企業的電話接聽、B2B的電話行銷、瑞典語文課程、企業培訓、女權研討會以及電影推廣...等(見 http://www.my-blind-uncle.com)。另外還有很大一部份的討論是關於如何找出你的喜好。雖然並非先決條件,但做自己喜歡做的事肯定會讓整個過程簡單的多且更容易駕輕就熟。然而若不透過實習、志工、旅遊...等多方嘗試,一個人又如何能夠找尋到自己真正的喜好呢?這便是為何安石積極推展 安石實習計畫 的原因,鼓勵學子們勇於嘗試,並享受其中樂趣! 圖為在演講的尾聲,Elias向學生介紹安石實習計畫。
