Las 10 Reglas de la Antigravedad – Hacia Un Nuevo Normal

Ya que fue inspirado por la historia real de una mujer que extendió su vida porque tuvo el coraje y la visión para cuestionar un diagnostico terminal de cáncer.

¿Diversidad Condicional? No Gracias.

Llevo sentada en mis manos desde ayer al medio día – esperando a que me pase la rabia – para escribir objetivamente acerca de una situación que ocurrió durante el Tercer Foro Universitario – Mujeres de Negocios. 
Por medio de este post no busco tener la última palabra – ya que eso no seria constructivo.  En [...]

Trust – an over-used term, I know. 
That’s why the kind of trust I write about is not the one gurus and career coaches the world over suggest we build with our clients, colleagues and bosses.

Desde hace un mes empezaron a llegarme cartas de nuestros socios comerciales, solicitando regalos para sus fiestas Navideñas.  Algunos piden licuadoras, otros tostadoras – y el mas atrevido me pidió una cámara digital (…si supiera que la mía la compre de segunda mano…) para [...]

Today, to celebrate my blog’s first anniversary,  I’m writing my 100th post.  It’s about my 13th job.

Take up more space

(Or Bold is beautiful)
 
It feels like long-nails sliding down a blackboard when I think about how some people go out of their way – way out – in order to not disturb others.  Yes, I cringe at the thought that there are some who tip-toe through life, hoping to make as little noise as possible, [...]
