Ville Gullstrand
Professional background
I inspire people to embrace the potential of today!
"Inspire people to embrace the potential of today" is the mission of Altitude 365 AB and it happens to resonate perfectly with me, what I believe and where I stand. This is what it means to me, broken down word by word.
Inspire - This is the method I trust and believe in. By inspire first (the why), I'm confident people will find instructions after (the how).
People - I don't work with organizations. I work with people! We should listen to hear, not to be able to respond.
To embrace - For you to be fully motivated, I want you to drive your practice from within. For your own reasons. That's why it's important that you embrace.
The potential - This could be so many things! Productive ways of work, applications, methods and much more. I want you to reach your highest potential and be the best you.
Of today - Whatever potential is available, I want you to be inspired to embrace it. In an evergreen world, everything constantly changes. This keeps me on my toes and keeps you informed on the latest and greatest.
