Mauro Libi Crestani: Life definitely presents its challenges

By Mauro Libi Crestani“Positive thinking is not only expecting the best to happen! But it is also about accepting that whatever happens is for the best…”.

Life definitely presents its challenges. When we are presented with a task to accomplish there are three periods of time that can either hinder us or enhance our abilities to see the task through.

A few months ago I went to a friend’s graduation. The guest speaker was a middle aged female CEO. She told a story of how her success started. The other students in her graduation class were limited by their lack of experience. When they went on interviews, it was always the same story. The job interviewer always asked about what experience that the graduate had with maybe a software program that they never worked on or with some business system that they knew nothing about. The graduate had to be honest and say that they lacked the experience and the job went off to someone else. This CEO when she went on her first interviews after graduation spoke about her experience with software and systems that she knew nothing about. You see, she was a believer that each opportunity was for her growth potential and in her best interest. She also believed that whatever skill they wanted and needed that she could learn the skill before she started her job. So she did not consider her tale of experience to be a fallacy. She was so positive that she would be proficient in this software and skill if she put her mind to it. When she got that first job, she put in her full efforts to learn everything that she could to be fully trained and knowledgeable and the best at what was expected of her and she succeeded.


Now, this is not my story and I am not telling anyone to lie on a job interview. I am talking about believing in your ability to be the best by study and effort and to act on it today because you have this positive belief in your own ability.

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.
