Mauro Libi: Positive thinking is the best gift one can give themselves

There is a children's story that has been around since I was a child, it is called , 'The little train that could'. The story is about a little toy train that wanted to be like the huge locomotive commercial engines. One day, the big train broke and the little toy train pulled the load of the big train. All the time the little train said,' I think I can, I think I can'. 

This children's story is a great lesson in the power of Positive Thinking. If we believe we can make it happen. 

I do not want to be the bearer of bad news, especially in an article on positive thinking but we can not do everything we want just because we believe that we can. Abraham Lincoln was famous for saying ,"All men are created equal". Well, no disrespect to President Lincoln but all men are not created equal.  Some of us have the talent to be a great doctor, some have the talent to be the greatest swimmer of our times. If you have no athletic ability, wanting to play for the NBA with all the best of thinking and attitude will not get you a contract. 

Now do not get me wrong. Positive thinking is the best gift one can give themselves. But you have to be realistic and positive at the same time. With positive thinking, you can follow the navy saying ,'Be all you can be'. You can be the greatest that ever existed with the talents that you have. If you look at successful people, they are so full of positive thought. Mohammed Ali, used to tell everyone , ' I am the greatest'. Donald Trump also tells everyone and himself what a winner he is. I once read in a book on becoming a U.S. President and the candidate running for president was told that he could only help the country if he believed that he was the only one capable of doing the job. Find your talent and be the best.

Mauro Libi Crestani: Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations

By  Mauro Libi Crestani.  Business hire management teams to figure out new ways to solve customer problems, improve products, create new revenue streams, and reduce costs. This involves creating new ideas for change. Technology, innovation, products and the way of doing business means coming up with new ideas for staying competitive in today’s quick moving market. Every change starts with an idea—a vision of what could happen to create a tangible benefit for an organization. But ideas are not enough. Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations. These make-or-break moments can also be leadership changes, restructurings, culture changes, system implementations, operational excellence programs, workforce programs or new market expansions. This involves time and money. Given all the investment in change and its importance to a company’s future health it is important to take note that…..

Mauro Libi Crestani: Negative attitude can destroy your career and personal life

I once went into a car dealership for a car purchase. I was meet by a salesman who was dressed in a well ironed suit and he had the biggest smile. He introduced himself by name and he asked for my name. He offered me something to drink as we discussed my desires in a car.  Let me assure you, that you came to the right place. He had been with that dealership for years. His customers stayed with him each time they wanted a new car.  I was told that this car dealership was about positive attitude. The salespeople , the finance  department , the service department all had to be positive that their customers were treated with the best service and that all their needs and concerns were listened to and acted on. I felt so positive that this was the place for me.  I have a married friend  who in sales. He is always depressed and always quiet. He is my friend and I once went to him to purchase his product for my company. He was telling me how sales were down, that he was not sure that he w

How does technology help in business communication?

One of the elements which has undoubtedly worked to support our growth, expansion and excellence projects in the last years, has been technology applied to business communication. I still remember when everything was reduced to memos, billboards, advertisements, photos and one or another printed publication in order to communicate inside the company; at the same time absolutely massive Advertising in existing media was in charge to go to the great public which included our customers and prospects.  Today we can say that with the advance of humankind, communication needed is also appearing. And our times make use of digital communication to improve business processes with more efficient and functional ways which allow more interaction, and overall, business productivity. Technology in communication expressed in the use of Internet, and with it, the Web, social networks, e-mails, multimedia resources (videos, infographics, memes, podcast, live broadcast, etc.); joined wi
