Professional relationships create opportunities and outlets for sounding off about career challenges. But women have fewer ties than men to colleagues and cohorts at work and outside work that can help them, according to data collected in a study of 118 companies by Lean In and McKinsey & Company. A German company created shoes with five interchangeable heels – so you can wear them for any occasion. The possibility of changing the length of the hill is creating a new real of possibilities transforming the way women network around the world. Check it out! Curious to know which company is it?

Entrepreneurs - First #livestream from #RedBank #NewJersey balancing work and play after successful meetings, while enjoying getting out of our comfort zone! The entrepreneurial lifestyle is a tough one under the best of circumstances, and it’s one we have to love in order to succeed. Enjoying being outside our comfort zone is key. New businesses are an adventure into the unknown. It is best to be mentally prepared to enjoy the roller coaster ride, rather than face it holding our breath with our teeth gritted at every turn. Only then we can enjoy the thrill of victory when we survive a major turn, and be energized for the next one.

How many of you are "blamers"?

Do you usually blame others for your misfortune? or do you hold yourself accountable for everything that happens to you and to your business? The truth is, we are all a bit of a blamer - inspirational thinker Brené Brown considers why we blame others, how it sabotages our relationships, and why we desperately need to move beyond this toxic behavior. Watch this short video to find out why. #Blame is contagious and detrimental. Just watching someone pawn their failures off on another can make you do the same to protect your self-image. Whatever the blunder, from messing up at work to burning dinner, pointing the finger at someone else or some event might seem trivial. But in organizations where blame is the norm, group members are likely to be less creative and perform poorly. Instead of facing the workday with excitement, most #leaders want to crawl back under the covers from sheer dread of what actually awaits them at the office: excuse making, blame shifting and responsibility dodge ball. The underlying culprit is something they might not suspect: #fear. An organization that has perfected the blame game is one where hidden fear — fear of failure, of confrontation, of difficult tasks — runs rampant. And where do these kinds of energy-draining, counterproductive cultures originate? That’s right: with the leaders. Blame-based leadership seeks to find a bad guy so that there is someone to absorb the problem, like a lightning rod absorbs a bolt of otherwise dangerous electricity. If a bad guy can be found, then everyone else can take a collective sigh of relief. And when it’s someone else’s problem, no one takes action to solve it. On the other hand, acknowledging that one is ultimately responsible for the results of one’s life, thoughts and actions creates a level of #freedom not experienced by those who blame others — and it #empowers that person to act. Removing fear and establishing a take-responsibility culture begins with the leaders. But for the followers to

Differences Between A Leader And A Boss

Do You Know The Difference Between A #Leader And A Boss? A #boss can be a leader – but not necessarily. It takes more than just bossing people around to be a leader. A leader can be your supervisor, floor manager or the colleague who sits across to you and shares her stapler. Real leaders look for solutions, collaborations and ways to improve performance to generate greater #results. Here are 5 facts to help you distinguish bosses from #leaders: • A boss’ goal is to get things done, while leaders, not only gets things done; they also #empower and motivate their #team. • A boss is always the center of attention. A leader is someone who steps back and brings out the best of the team. • A boss can provide good or bad #leadership. But a good leader can never be a bad boss. • A boss tends to delegate the task to someone who is a leader. The leader instead does the task with the team. • A boss will take credit for a job well done, while a leader will take the whole team out for drinks. Think about it, people may fear and/or #respect the boss, but everyone loves the leader. Your employees have smart ideas, and they are eager to share them if you give them a chance. Using an employee engagement platform allows your team to freely express their thoughts on how to improve your organizational and business dynamics, as well as their feelings about bosses and leaders in your company. What is one of the qualities you appreciate the most about leaders? #Organizationaldynamics #Leadership #SimpleandSocial #OrganizationalConstellations #developingleaders #womanempowerment #leadershipskills #Letsdothis #Businessdevelopment

🇺🇸Happy 2016 everyone!! May this year bring you happiness, health and success in all your endeavors. Regards from #Peru! Here with Beto having fun at Zorritos beach :) Life is a series of punches. It presents a lot of challenges. It presents a lot of hardship, but the people that are able to take those punches and move forward are the ones that really do have a lot of success, joy in their life and also have a lot of stories to tell. There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect. Find joy in everything that happens to you, life is too short to waste it on sadness and negative thinking. Happiness is everywhere if you really look into it. There is always a bright side in every story... Find yours. Carpe Diem! ~ 🇪🇸¡¡Feliz 2016 a todos!! Que este año os traiga felicidad, salud y éxito en todos tus esfuerzos. Saludos desde #Peru con Beto de fondo vacilando La vida es una serie de golpes. La vida presenta una gran cantidad de desafíos, una gran cantidad de dificultades; pero las personas que son capaces de tomar esos golpes y seguir adelante son los que realmente consiguen el éxito, la alegría en su vida y un montón de historias (batallitas) que contar. No hay restricciones en la mente humana, ni paredes alrededor del espíritu humano, no hay barreras a nuestro progreso excepto aquellas que nosotros mismos nos creamos. Encuentra alegría en todo lo que te sucede, la vida es demasiado corta como para desperdiciarla en la tristeza y en el pensamiento negativo. La felicidad está en todas partes, si realmente lo miras bien. Siempre hay un lado positivo en cada historia... Encuentra la tuya. ¡#CarpeDiem! #SimpleandSocial #SimpleySocial #soloseviveunavez #travels #transformation #selfleadership

Pomegranate Tips

Did you know #Falll is #Pomegranate Harvest Season? Depending on the harvest, pomegranate season typically runs from October through February. When selecting pomegranates, look for a ripe, deep-colored fruit with a red to reddish-brown outer rind that is heavy for its size. The fruit, when stored in the refrigerator, will last three to four weeks unopened. But once seeded, pomegranates should be enjoyed within two to three days; they can also be frozen in a sealed bag for up to a year.

Be curious, follow your instincts, take risks, live fully. <3 The tragedy of life is often not in our failure, but rather in our complacency; not in our doing too much, but rather in our doing too little; not in our living above our ability, but rather in our living below our capacities. Chose to create opportunities for yourself and for your loved ones. ~ Se curioso, sigue tus instintos, toma riesgos, vive plenamente. <3 La tragedia de la vida a menudo no se encuentra en nuestro fracaso, sino más bien en nuestra complacencia; no en nuestro hacer demasiado, sino más bien en nuestro hacer muy poco; no en nuestro vivir por encima de nuestras posibilidades, sino más bien en nuestra vida por debajo de nuestras capacidades. Elige crear oportunidades para ti mismo y para tus seres queridos.

Os deseamos a todos una muy buena salida y entrada de año, que el #2015 os llene la vida de felicidad, salud y amor. Muchas gracias a todos por estar en nuestras vidas y ser pasajeros de nuestro tren Sin vosotros no sería lo mismo.

Let's celebrate yesterday's Partial Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Scorpio with this positive song - Remember, this alignment disrupts the usual flow of solar energy, dissolving old energy and behavior patterns so something new can manifest. Enjoy the ride!

Last time we were in #Galicia I met Myriam, a wise young lady who happens to be an extraordinary physical therapy professional from #Madrid. She told me how much I reminded her about this #video and shared it with me. Since then, I keep it on my phone as a positive reminder of part of my origins. This is a powerful reminder of how life evolves, human transformation, inner strength, community growth and of course, that Galicia is quality in its best. In Myriam's honor, we are pleased to share this powerful #video to cheer you up and remind you that if you are not worried about that humongous meteorite flying close to Earth, don't worry about infamous daily accidents. Enjoy your time and welcome life with a big smile! <3 Like this post if you agree. <3 Share what cheers you up in the comment section. No need to understand Gallego, watch the video and feel it's magic :) If you are interested in knowing what the video says though, let us know and we will translate it for you. Almu
