President's welcome
	Dear members and friends of PWI, During the last quarter, including beginning of October we have organized 7 events. In July we had a presentation by Jeanine Crombé of the Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT).

You can read about it and register here. Discover also the interview of Jeanine in this magazine ....[more]	Q3 2012

Management


"How can you foster an innovative mindset among your staff?"

“Helene Feuillat tells us a little about her life in Kolkata, India"

PWI – How long have you lived in India now? What are the lessons you have learned so far? What is the biggest difference you and your family have found between living in Belgium and living in India?

We moved to India just a little over a year now. The country is absolutely fascinating. I had travelled extensively in India as a tourist many years ago, but living here is completely different.

Miscellaneous & mails to the editor

"Living life on Purpose: How to get more of what you want in your life "
	Ever woke up in the morning and said to yourself “I’ll be glad when this one’s over!” or been in a meeting thinking “I don’t see the point of this discussion!” or pondering “If it wasn’t for the kids and the mortgage, I’d be doing something else” and then wondering what that something else would be! Many believe that we’re reaching a crisis point in Western society as our focus on materialism over several decades has left us lacking any true sense of purpose. As we go from one ! ...
