Ele Quase Morreu… e Voltou com uma Nova Visão e Propósito de Vida - George Niemeyer - Ep 056

He Almost Died… and Came Back with a New Vision and Purpose in Life - George Niemeyer - Ep 056 George Niemeyer is a Brazilian businessman with a consolidated career in the corporate world and entrepreneurship. A graduate in Production Engineering from the Polytechnic School of USP and with an MBA from Columbia University in New York, he built his career over more than two decades in multinational companies, having held leadership positions — including the presidency of Polaroid in Brazil. In addition, he is the founder of Oval Table, one of the leading business networking forums in the country, which brings together hundreds of leaders and executives for the exchange of experiences and strategic development. Niemeyer also works as a mentor, speaker, and author. His book "Adopt a Mentor" offers reflections on career, decision-making, and personal development, focusing on avoiding common mistakes and accelerating professional growth. He strongly defends the importance of mentorship, continuous learning, and building relationships that drive growth. A striking point in his narrative—and one that directly connects to the theme of his podcast—is his vision of life as a journey shaped not by events themselves, but by how we react to them. This philosophy gains even more depth when he shares intense personal experiences, such as his NDE (Near-Death Experience), frequently discussed in lectures as a turning point in his understanding of purpose, career, and existence. Near-death experiences (NDEs) are profound and transformative accounts lived in extreme situations, usually associated with imminent risk to life, and often provoke significant changes in values, perception, and purpose in those who experience them. It's an incredible story that I want to share with you. He Almost Died… and Came Back with a New Vision and Purpose in Life - George Niemeyer - Ep 056
