Alberto Rossi: Believing IS Seeing
Alberto Rossi always dreamed of being an airplane pilot or even an astronaut. A boy can dream all he wants, but this was a tall order for a young man who couldn’t even drive due to visual impairment.
But Rossi, the son of parents from Italy and the Canary Islands, never saw a challenge or an opportunity in life that he didn’t want to drink up and dominate.
By listening to our show today, you'll learn:
- How Rossi turned growing up isolated in the Canary Islands as a chance to explore languages and live an international life;
- How Rossi saw a chance to work for an international hotel chain as his opportunity to travel the world – even if he wasn’t the one piloting the planes he was on.
- And why that very optimistic way of seeing life - despite his visual impairment - helped him open his mind further and attract fulfilling jobs - like his current one at IMT Lazarus;
Breakers band together and be ready to see, smile, and maybe shed a tear with Alberto Rossi.
