Os 3 tipos de pessoas no escritório…

No que toca a resolver problemas, existem 3 tipos de pessoas. E tu és uma delas… Quero que penses nas pessoas com quem trabalhas ou já trabalhaste. Colegas, colaboradores, chefes, fornecedores, clientes, etc. Agora, quero que identifiques pessoas que, sempre que tinham um problema que nunca tinham resolvido ou que não sabiam como resolver, por […]

A Ceia de Natal para quem mete as mãos na massa e faz acontecer

Eis que estamos a chegar ao fim do ano… …e quer tenha corrido lindamente ou tenha sido um ano para esquecer… Chegou o momento de celebrar (ou afogar as mágoas 😅) com os teus pares. Chegou o momento de estares com aqueles que não esperam que as coisas lhes aconteçam… Chegou o momento de estares com aqueles que criam a sua própria sorte… E se estás a ler isto, é porque és uma dessas pessoas 🫡

Fazer as coisas certas vs Fazer as coisas bem

Quando começamos, o objetivo deve ser fazer as coisas certas. Mas para chegarmos às coisas certas, temos de fazer coisas, experimentar coisas, testar coisas. À medida que vamos fazendo coisas, vamos identificando aquilo que funciona e o que não funciona. Muitos desmotivam quando as coisas não funcionam à primeira, nem à segunda, nem à terceira. […]

They have automations in their toilets 🚽 😳

It could have been a parking lot, but no… It's actually a bathroom. I took these photos on my most recent trip to the United States. As I sat on the royal throne, I marveled at the technological wonder in front of me. "Surely they didn’t install these sensors just to indicate if a stall […]

Interviewing my Dad, Asking questions and Giving without expecting to receive

Last Friday I interviewed my dad. And I can say that it was one of the live interviews that gave me the most pleasure. Before the interview, I had told my colleagues that I would not prepare anything for this interview.This is because I am very biased. Having already had the opportunity to know my […]

Communication mistakes

I went to check my messages, at the end of a long day, and for a second I got chills… A mistake was done, and it was my fault… It was already midnight and there was nothing to be done for the time being. The message I got was from our secretary saying she was […]

Jenga? We've been playing it all wrong.

Jenga was invented in the 70s, by a gentleman named Leslie Scott (but I feel it somehow originated in South America) And the purpose of the game was to avoid being the the person that caused the Jenga tower to fall. So everybody is trying to avoid the tower to fall. But most people play […]

Learn the process, not the subject

Some of the challenges that I, as a self-taught person, have had throughout my professional career have not been the theoretical learning of the subjects to which I’ve dedicated myself to learning. Typically the theory is widely available on the internet for everyone. The biggest challenge I’ve had, has been to navigate between the lines […]

Company Culture, a living, breathing creature

Company culture is like a magical unicorn, you can’t see it but everyone says they have a great one. That’s because it’s not built in a day, its built on top of a lot variants. It’s the day to day interactions, the 1–1’s, the processes you build, the people you hire, the people you fire, […]

How we launched a burger joint using a Facebook Messenger Chatbot

Our goal as marketers is to provide as many opportunities as possible for our business to make that sale, and we do that by engaging new clients, our current clients, people that are looking for our product or service. Once I figured that out, I understood that I could market any product, any service there […]

It’s time to cleanse your digital life.

It’s unbelievable the amount of clutter one can accumulate digitally, you read a nice blog post, you open up another article, oh, let’s subscribe to their newsletter, or the thousand articles you push to the “Read later” service of your choice, follow, join group, like, sounds familiar? For me is almost daily. When I get […]
