Mauro Libi Crestani: The show must go on.”

According to the Webster dictionary means said to ​encourage someone to ​continue with what they are doing, ​even if they are ​experiencing difficulties. 
Guitarist Brian May wrote this while lead singer Freddie Mercury was dying of AIDS. It was Mercury's last official album with Queen, and when it was released, very few people knew he had the disease.

The lyrics are about the need to press on and make the most out of life while you can still enjoy it. It is inevitably a comment on Mercury's worsening condition, and his attitude towards life – May, a member of the band,  noted his incredible courage in the Days of our Lives documentary. "He never moaned, he never said 'my life is s--t, this is terrible, I hate it,'" said May. "He had an incredible strength and peace." 


The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on


Back in 1994 I bought a business from a gentleman who always had a smile on his face. His customers have been with him for many years. They were very loyal to him and he treated them fantastically. He was the most positive person that I ever met. He always had a smile and when his customers asked how things were going, he always said that things were wonderful. 

His customers did not know what he was going through. A divorce that he did not want. His son was out of control and he had all sorts of problems with him. He also had health problems. However, he believed that his customers wanted to work with a happy person with no drama, so he kept on his smile and no one knew any different. Could you imagine if he told his customer his problems? How many would have left him? Customers need to feel secure. They need to feel like by working with you that it is a safe long term investment. A person with problems is not the security that they so crave. 


The show must go on (go on, go on, go on)
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On, with the show

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.

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?

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
