Mauro Libi Crestani: Eke and Kahuna

“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.” - John Homer Miller.

In an effort to help you develop a positive attitude towards your life and others we will discuss a  wisdom from the Hawaiian Islands - knowledge they refer to as “Kahuna.”

The first concept is called Eke. It is s belief that all changes has to start within yourself. If you want to make changes in your company, with your employees or within your relationship, then first you have to make those changes within yourself. The concept of Eke is that we go from a belief of lacking to a belief  of abundance. If you are lacking in education , then become the most educated in your field. If your company is lacking in innovation and in research and development become the most innovative. If you customers have a lack of enthusiasm towards you and your company, do something to make them the most enthusiastic. If you lack in being an attentive spouse, then become the most attentive spouse. The Eke within you as it becomes more abundant will want to come out and have positive change on the world.

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.

How does technology help in business communication?
