“I BELIEVE THAT POTENTIAL IS UNLIMITED – SUCCESS DEPENDS ON DARING TO ACT ON OUR DREAMS” – MRS. ESTÉE LAUDER    Since 1946, The Estée Lauder Companies has built its reputation on the quality of its people and on their positive attitudes. By Mauro Libi Crestani . “If you push yourself beyond the furthest place you think that you can go, you will be able to achieve your hearts dream.” This is also a quote from Estee Lauder. She would tell her employees to stay positive and determines and that they will get there. If you check the website of this high quality company, you will find a company that invest a lot of time and money into promoting the positive attitudes of their people and workers. Leonard Lauder calls the company’s employees family and says that his workers do not have a job but a career and that they are the most important asset to the company. Every aspect, every step of their interactions was carefully planned out to create that positive ...

By  Mauro Libi Crestani.  When the actor Jim Carrey was only 14 years old, his father  lost his job , and his family hit rough times. They moved into a VW van on a relative’s lawn, and the young aspiring comedian—who was so dedicated to his craft that he mailed his resume to  The Carroll Burnett Show  just a few years earlier, at age 10—took an eight-hours-per-day factory job after school to help make ends meet.    Carrey  lives his life according to the  law of attraction , a belief system that argues that “‘ like attracts like ,” and that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, one can bring about positive or negative results. When Jim Carrey did his movie – YesMan  -. It was about a man who had negative attitudes and he meets a guru that teaches him the power of the word –  Yes . Jim did not get paid for this movie but agreed to take a percentage. But this movie changed his life similar to the character that he play...

Mauro Libi Crestani : The power of positive thought                                 I am a natural born introvert. I am not comfortable being the life of the party and I am terrified of being before an audience. But my profession and my talents lead me to being a teacher of kids in college and my love for politics required that I speak before an audience. I also had a radio show and did many jobs as a television broadcaster. But the fear of being before an audience is innate in my being. It is something that I could not get rid of.  I have always been a positive person.   It’s a funny thing… but the mind is very powerful. If your mind believes that you can do something, then will accomplish that task. Just do not let the mind be won over by the feelings of negativity or fears.   “The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it.” ...

These are words from President Obama . We are not going to debate the politics of this statement, which has caused a lot of debate. What I would like to discuss is how to increase a company’s productivity. If management does not trust its employees to do their job and they micromanage by trying to control every aspect of what their workers do. In such a case their productivity numbers will suffer.          It is not usual to speak of an employee as a partner, and yet what else is he? Henry Ford Henry Ford fought for better wages for his employees. There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible. Henry Ford So Henry Ford believed that by treating an employee like a partner and paying them a top wage was the best thing for a company’s productivity.                     ...

By Mauro Libi Crestani . That is the most basic question that every company has to answer if it wants to be productive. The answer is so basic. It’s like answering the question – How does one live to see another day?  Answer is to keep breathing. When you stop breathing , then you will not live to see another day. So what is this basic answer on how to increase your company's productivity? The answer is to have office meeting!  Careers have been built on poking fun at meetings. From   commercials   to comic strips it’s no secret that most of us would rather be, you know, working. Meetings can be very productive. But for that to happen you have to follow certain rules.                                              If it were up to 37 Signals, there would be no meetings at all and discussion would be limited to IM and email. In the com...

By Mauro Libi Crestani . There has always been debate about whether a positive attitude or a negative attitude has such a significant effect. When your attitude is expressed in your words to others,  Well……………Then just imagine this………  A customer asks a question and receives a response from the owner or employee.  The employee has an all around negative attitude to life. His response shows it. Unfortunately, the response may not adequately answer the question. It is deflected with negative phrases that do little to motivate the customer into making a purchase or returning to repeat the buying experience.                  An employee has a question or offers an opinion to the owner and expects a reply.   The employee has high energy, loves working and wants to excel at his job. His boss or supervisor however has a very negative attitude and tends to put anyone and everything down. So what effect wil...

A leading psychologist claims whistling or singing helps distract the mind from trying too hard and prevents mental overload. Wow! The Dwarfs were right!  Whistling while you work makes you do your job better . The seven dwarfs knew from positive attitude and they knew how to get things done and enjoy it. They also knew the secret to staying calm. Far from being down to 'just nerves' , choking up  occurs when the brain finds itself with too many pieces of information to process, resulting in 'paralysis by analysis', argues Dr Sian Beilock of the University of Chicago. The same holds true when presenting a vital sales pitch, making an important golf putt or doing an acting audition. So you do not want to choke up and lose that sale, that golf game or that acting job, then  maybe you need to  whistle while you work.     Not just whistling. When you’re humming, singing, or laughing, it’s also difficult to be stressed. It puts...
