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 [...]
Este post esta inspirado por Jorge* – un coordinador de compras que conocí en uno de los muchos hospitales que visito a diario en mi trabajo. Durante mi reunión con Jorge aprendí que hace 15 años Jorge era barrendero – del mismo hospital donde hoy por hoy toma decisiones de compra para insumos medico quirúrgicos.

Invest today’s lunch time to demystify success. Watch and learn from what a select group of female leaders have to say about success in life and at work.
My favorite piece of advice comes from Shelly Lazarus: “You cannot be afraid to be who you are…live your values. Don’t sneak..stand up, do [...]
During a time when people are being laid-off from high paying jobs. When others are taking pay cuts to keep their jobs. Some have lost a big portion of their dividend producing assets. And others have had their dividend producing portfolios frozen. Re-prioritizing expenditures is an all too common scenario across kitchen and dinner tables [...]
Thomas Edison’s 10,000 failed attempts before inventing the light-bulb has been overused for good reason. In this video, the car manufacturer Honda does a great job at showing how failure is an integral part of anyone’s path to success. In essence, it’s when you’re not failing, that you’re a failure.

Even during an economic downturn, finding meaning in our lives is not a privilege reserved only for a select few – it’s everyone’s responsibility.
At the risk of sounding too preachy, I’ll borrow some insight from Jewish wisdom that says: ”The day that you were born was the day that G-d decided that the world could no [...]
According to Jewish Mysticism (a.k.a. Kabbalah) the number 9 represents truth*. Since it’s 2009, I’ve taken the liberty to declare this my year of finding my own truth.
Part of my commitment has been to discover what gives meaning to my life. That includes finding meaningful work. Those things that bring meaning to my life [...]
On my latest trip to South America I met a remarkable woman who I’ll call Maria.
Maria took care of my grandfather for many years until the second that life left him a week ago at age 96.* As thankful as I am for her unconditional support and care for grandpa Pipo during his last years, [...]
Even if I may not always agree with what Dr. Sullivan has to say over at ere.net (like what he wrote about talent swapping), his out-of-the-box thinking is quite refreshing. Recently he wrote an article about proximity recruiting. Proximity recruiting is about finding candidates through face-to-face interactions – as opposed to non-physical recruiting including job [...]
It has been an active end of year.
My first book is in the editing stage, my posts are appearing on more and more places in the blogoshpere (thanks everyone for your support!) and I’ve been invited to contribute to a number of blogging communities.
As I shared with you earlier, I’m now part of the Women [...]
It's usually twists and turns that lead to the top. So stop following a straight line.
