Mauro Libi Crestani: If you believe you will succeed you are right, if you believe that you will fail, you are also right: The choice is yours.

As a child my dad once bought me a ring. It had many different colors and its colors would change. He told me that it was a mood ring. I was too little to understand that it was just a toy. As I took a test in my third grade class.  I put on my ring and was happy to see that the colors were mixed between purple for cool and blue for calm and relaxed . My nervousness over the test disappeared and I did very well. If the ring would have shown a black color (stressed) or a red color (fear) or maybe even a yellow color (nervousness) , who knows how I would have performed.

Back then I did not know that a mood ring is a ring that contains a thermochromic element, such as liquid crystal that change colors based upon the temperature of the finger of the wearer. I did well because a toy ring gave me a positive feedback that I was calm and I believed it and as a result I did real well on my exam. Positive thinking will achieve positive results. Had I been given negative feedback, who knows if I would have done as well because there is a belief that negative thinking can not achieve positive results.

Norman Vincent Peale in the 1950’s wrote a book called the Power of Positive Thinking and I quote, “Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.” 

As a child, it took a toy ring to bring me the confidence to believe that I should be calm and that I will succeed. In real life, you have the power to be successful with your attitude. A proper positive attitude in life is what is needed. If you have negative thought and feeling you can not succeed. The good news is that you can change your attitude. You can be successful if you so choose. If you always put limits on everything you do physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them – Bruce Lee.

Your mind is a powerful thing when you fill it with positive thoughts your life will start to change. By Mauro Libi Crestani

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.

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: Where is the performance evaluation points going?

On some occasions, we have recall to the performance evaluation but only in a lateral way, so in this opportunity we will talk a little bit more about the subject, in particular, on the trends of this system.Let us define that the performance evaluation is a formal system which objective is to estimate the accomplishment of the worker’s labor obligations.The idea is to document the performance and productivity of an employee to point out what areas they could improve.
