A Celebration of Language

Posted by: | Comments (1)

There are hundreds of languages in the world, but a smile speaks them all.

September 23rd was the European Day of Languages and it was celebrated in grand style for the first time in Toronto at the Goethe-Institut at University Avenue. Four of the major Language Schools combined to present an event that was marked by the warmth, hospitality and cultural flavours of the different countries of the world that they represented.

As I am passionate about learning foreign languages and speak three of the 5 languages represented, of course I wanted to participate in any way I could.  Quelle joie !

The evening started by a Salsa dance presentation and the joie de vivre of the dancers set the tone for the event. There was a table bountiful with hors d’oeuvres and cookies and specialities representative of the different lands and fine wine flowed copiously matched ably with the finest chocolates. Read More→

Leadership Lessons from Kindergarten

Posted by: | Comments (19)

From winds and seas, and hills and trees, and little ones – Learn ye the ways of wisdom. – St. Mira

Many years ago, I came across a gem of a little book by Robert Fulghum called : All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten. Mostly his musings were about life in general, but he made some very important points.

 We all know kids – either our own or someone else’s. Even if we don’t, most of us still remember that we were kids at one time and some of us even like to remember our childhood, often crossing the sands of time to re-live a particular moment, a special feeling.

Whatever our circumstances, if we consider it carefully, we realize that we were at our wisest in our extreme youth- pure of mind, full of love and playfulness, living in the moment and untarnished by life’s experiences.

In that state of innocence we were wise beyond measure – in all our thoughts, actions and intentions. And all it takes is a few stretches of the imagination to re-tap into the magic of childhood in order to regain a sense of perspective about the world around us. Read More→

Driven: The Instinct to Succeed

Posted by: | Comments (1)

When a man feels throbbing in him the power to do what he undertakes as well as it can possibly be done, this is happiness, this is Success!- Orison Swett Marden

We are all successful people. Just lets admit it and accept that right off the bat!  It is all relative to our definition or other peoples definition of success.

Compared to the countless eggs and sperm competing for a chance at life, we made it!  Hurray!

We survived childhood without too many risks to our lives and grew up to be literate adults. At least those of you reading this, right? We may not be employed to our entire satisfaction, but we do have ways to earn a living, don’t we? Thus in turn ensuring further successful survival. Well, really!

We are driven by the instinct to succeed and life is made up of many successses, small and big – a shopping trip accomplished having bought exactly what you set out to buy,  marriage to a person of our choice (no matter how that turns out!) , food choices from a lavish menu of items, you get to choose life and all its gifts. Some less fortunate ones do not always have that choice! Read More→

Trust in Business Relationships -part 1

Posted by: | Comments (5)

Without Trust there is nothing.

It is a basic fact of every relationship and that does not exclude business relationships. 

Without Trust every profitable business  deal will turn sour at some time, every promising business partnership will inevitably disintegrate and every satisfied client will eventually find another product or service to replace yours.

If you have ever wondered why a promising relationship, whether business or personal,  seems to have inexplicably crumbled before your eyes it is because the Trust element has been missing.

Sometimes it is a perceived lack of trust, but often times there are clues left, that although unspoken will indicate that there is a marked absence of trust on one or both sides of the relationship.  Ignoring it will not make the issue vanish. Read More→
