Listen as Bo Peabody, author of "Lucky or Smart?" and entrepreneur extraordinaire, discuss the businesses he started, how he was able to make them successful, and the place that intelligence, hard work and a little bit of good fortune have in the process. As Bo explains: “My formula for getting lucky in business is reasonably simple: Start a company that fundamentally innovative, morally compelling, and philosophically positive. Create and aura of authenticity around your start-up by carefully crafting your mission and communicating it with charisma and passion. Our company will quickly attract smart, inspired people who will work very hard. Treat all these people fairly. Provide them with a clear action plan and give them the latitude to exercise their creativity. The result: serendipity, luck, success, and, ultimately, money. And the only smart thing about this formula is that I understand that on a day-to-day basis my brain has very little to do with any of it.”Ver libro
Is male 'supremachism' really over? The pages you are holding in your hands sow doubts on the common belief that the governance of 'the macho' came to its end. As the proverb confirms, 'the old dies hard', despite the yet-to-improve individual and institutional efforts to achieve gender equality. With the serious tone this capital issue requires, the author debunks the myth of male supremacism as a phenomenon from a past and raises awareness of the subliminal survival of the supremachist ideological apparatus. Subtlety reveals as a key factor for the survival of subliminal supremachist campaigns, which threatens a promising future of non-discrimination. Essentially, democratic citizenship must pose itself a crucial question: Are current Western societies' concessions to feminism genuine or a cover by supremachism to survive in an ideologically volatile world?Ver libro
Think for Your Victim is a concept of different skill sets that emphasizes the act of putting oneself in someone else's shoes. Ultimately, these skills empower us to build on mutual respect, communication, and emotional awareness, enhancing our overall well-being and contributing to a more compassionate and connected society. Thinking for others before reacting can help you maintain control and avoid unnecessary conflict. Take a moment to pause and consider the feelings and perspectives of those around you. Ask yourself how your words or actions might affect them and the situation at hand. Practice empathy by putting yourself in their shoes, which can lead to a clearer understanding of their motivations and challenges. This mindfulness allows you to respond thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively, reducing the chances of overreacting and potentially embarrassing yourself. By fostering communication and being considerate, you can create a more positive atmosphere, making it easier to navigate conflicts and relationships.Ver libro
