Mauro Libi Crestani: Harvard most popular course is on positive attitude

Universities are beginning to believe in the power of a positive mindset.  At Harvard University their most popular course is on positive attitude.  Below I would like to summarize a memo to the students at Ferris State University. The memo is titled "Developing a positive mindset: changing your attitude to change your life".

In summary, the University believes that in many instances the failure of a student to complete their course of study has to do with negative attitudes. For students to be successful in school a winning attitude helps. They write in their memo to the students that " attitude is everything".

A student when he has difficulty has the option to give up or to say " I will find a solution". When things are not going well then admit it to yourself and change it. Change is always scary but less scary when you believe and trust yourself.  People who are depressed find it hard to take corrective action and tend to allow a bad situation to linger on.

Wake up with a smile and with energy. You have a lot to accomplish and enjoy today. Life is short, and you are going to make the most of this day, and every day after that.  The nature of the human mind is to offer worries, anxieties and fears. However how often do these actually come true? The mind can easily exaggerate problems making them appear more serious than they actually are. Our thoughts are also very powerful and will determine our perception of the world.  Bad times don't last forever. Say to yourself, "This too will pass."

Even when difficulties are seemingly insurmountable there is no harm in smiling at our difficulties. When we smile it releases a chemical, serotonin, which makes us feel better. Also others will respond better to people who are smiling. Associate with positive people in your classes and on campus. I would suggest you partner up in study groups and even look to either socialize or join resume building activities clubs.  High achievers, as do poor students with poor attitudes, rub off on anyone associating with either group.


Students with positive attitudes have been found to be happier, to enjoy their studies and school more and to have more friends.

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.

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.); joine...

Mauro Libi: Social responsibility can improve your financial performance

 Social responsibility represents benefits for the society where the organizations are located, but for the companies too , since their effects are also felt in profitability.Just as you read it, it is proven that the risk of affecting the profitability of companies and enterprises grows when there is no specific application of responsibility with the organization's environment, nor transparency and business ethics. It is therefore, essential that organizations incorporate socially responsible actions into their management and, the benefits go beyond philanthropy or timely help that companies can provide to the communities where they operate.The actions of social responsibility are highly beneficial for organizations beyond the immediate effect that their action generates in society, and in the long term, the contribution that companies and enterprises make in their environment help generate a virtuous circle and healthy economic development.  How they do this...

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…..
