Thursday, October 10th was commemorated as the World Mental Health Day (read more HERE). Glad that many in my networks were actually aware on this as shown by their posts; including what activities they did in their offices to commemorate that day. “Every 40 seconds, someone loses their life to suicide” – that’s the title … Continue reading Remember ‘Green-Washing’?

Reverse Probationary Period
I’ve been listening to friends, colleagues from both current company or previous companies, students, and people who asked me to discuss their condition in their workplaces. The pattern of their stories gave me several insights, especially about critical issues and points related to the necessity of designing and implementing a thorough relationship between and employee … Continue reading Reverse Probationary Period

My excuse was usually to give rooms for improvisation / impromptu ideas … Continue reading The Paradox of Planning / Uncertainty Survival Skills
No, Not Again! – and Things We Could Get from the Past
I met some of my best friends last night. We played bowling, had dinner, and continued with some beers and talks. By talks, obviously I address to the discussion about what we did together in certain period of time – in the past. Interestingly, a friend of mine quoted such nice words: “the past is … Continue reading No, Not Again! – and Things We Could Get from the Past
