A tribute to people

This is a tribute to these people. 


Not everyone here... some still working.





The day started just like any other Friday, even though I knew it would be a very long  and big day. It wouldn't be like any other Friday.

Some worked all day long to put the party together. Others worked during the week to make the school look beautiful. There were those who planned fun activities to involve the kids. But there was no one, no one who simply did not take part.

At the end, family came to pick them up. Some left to enjoy the rest of the night. Most simply wanted to go home and rest. I hope, however, that everyone left with a fulfilling sensation that it was all worth it. That promoting joy, happiness and laughs to others is a moment to cherish.

It was magical to see these people enjoying time together. The focus were students and parents, but they have the talent to make every moment a moment to share joy, laughs and, for me, moments of personal growth.

In fact, they were able to promote all those memorable moments to the kids because they make their moments together memorable. What happened today is simply what happens every day. It is a reflection of who they are.

This is a tribute to people.

Once, attending a seminar given by Doutores da Alegria, the most valuable lesson I learned - through jokes, obviously - was that we shouldn't keep positive thoughts and feelings to ourselves. Thus, after this long and tiring Friday, I cannot simply go to bed without paying a tribute to these people and to people who make others happy, who make others become better people.

Crafting Relationships

I do believe relationships in the corporate world - with peers, bosses and clients - may be skillfully built up, developed, fostered, improved, managed. As a skill, it may be acquired, learned, picked up. The consequence of all these collocations is that anyone has the potential to develop positive, healthy and productive relationships. This is the aim of this post and presentation, to help you reflect on the topic and find your own ways to successfully relate to others. However, one must be willing to do so. Just last Saturday I listened to a very interesting interview with coach and consultant Homero Reis at CBN's Mundo Corporativo . He believes there is a Inteligência Relacional (there is the term Relational Intelligence , but I have not gone deep enough to say if the expression in English has the same meaning and the one used by Homero), which is one's capacity to successfully relate to others. What really caught my attention in the interview was Home
