How do you show up in the world? Do you think you're in control of your communication? Anything you'd like to work on? We had such an interesting conversation with Angela Podolsky, Consultant and International Speaker in the field of Body Language & Non-Verbal Communication, based in #Toronto, for our The Human Business - Management Consulting podcast series.
You need to be aware of yown communication, and also learn how to "read" others. That's a lifetime process but can be trained, though it needs permanent effort to refine your skills.
If you don't understand yourself, you don't know what's the bias you bring to the table, because you've experienced some cultural environments that dictate how you absorb reality. How you see things changes how you see others, and it will be very important for your communication, your relationships, and your leadership skills.
These are only a few of the great insight we got through our conversation with Angela. We are very grateful she could share with us some of her precious time and knowledge. Look for her and her company Kinesics.

In the past, business were usually operating in a basis of "the more secretive you are, the better for your competitive advantage". It was not very common in business to have so many exchanges and collaborations.

he best thing we can do is embracing technology and having a strategy to get along with it.
The value of any professional lies on their network. We need to create new rules for this new system to have its own new identity. We cannot base everything in the foundations of the industrial organization.

Chiara Chianese es Doctora, científica, MBA, emprendedora... Sobretodo, Chiara es una persona muy comprometida con su entorno que pone toda la pasión en cada cosa que hace. Como ella dice, viene de una de las ciudades más locas del mundo, Nápoles, y eso imprime carácter.
Con ella conversamos sobre la situación actual de la ciencia, sobre cómo puede ayudar a la humanidad a avanzar hacia un futuro mejor, y sobre todos los obstáculos que está encontrando para conseguirlo. A veces ponemos demasiadas esperanzas en la ciencia y los científicos, pensado que pueden hacer magia, pero se trata de una combinación de recursos, trabajo duro, y algo de suerte.
Chiara nos cuenta su visión de los temas más relevantes, y de como cada uno de nosotros, cualquier persona normal, puede también contribuir al avance científico.
Adrián Caballero es politólogo y periodista, Millennial y emprendedor con varios proyectos en marcha. Tiene una fuerza inagotable para crear, y pone grandes dosis de pasión en todo lo que hace.
Nos conocemos hace tiempo, y por eso la conversación con Adrián fue distendida y fluida, reflexionando sobre temas en los que es especialista. El papel del periodismo en la actual realidad económica y social, como conseguir una buena dieta informativa sin morir en el intento, y la necesidad de pagar por contenido de calidad, igual que ya hacemos con la música, el cine, las series o los libros.
Adrián nos da algunas claves para estar bien informados y, sobretodo, nos hace pensar sobre temas que van a ser muy importantes durante los próximos años.
We recorded this interview with Lukas in Vilnius, about a year ago, when he was already popular because of some of his achievements. Maybe you heard about him as “the doughnuts guy” whom they were talking about at Good Morning America, but he’s already more than that. He’s currently the CEO of Citybee and has been selected as one of the Forbes 30 Under 30 in Technology. However, he describes himself as “the regular guy, always competing with myself to be the best possible person in my professional and personal life.” He had a clear mind since he was very young: “many teenagers try to get attention by having the stupid haircut; I was amazed by the idea of building companies and business. Curiosity played a major role for me growing up.”
Mentoring is one of the passions of Vijay Ratthinam, who has been leading the operations and hundreds of events during the latest years. Vijay’s objective is to give back to the community.
A fruitful and lasting relationship with your mentor can be of much value for many aspects of your life. Even at a personal level, a mentor can turn to be a coach in certain elements, but also an advisor, a source for motivation. Above all, your mentor is interested in your success as much as you are. Mentoring is flexible; you can be mentored by a pear, a group, on even online. You should not limit to have only one mentor, but you may have different mentors according to diverse interests, objectives, and environments. The ultimate goal is helping people to navigate their careers, and your mentor can find the best way up when you feel stuck.
Rodrigo Conde comenzó su vida profesional justo cuando Lehman Brothers colapsó. Y llegó a un banco de inversión para ser analista, que probablemente sea una de las mejores maneras de aprender, y obtener 20 años de experiencia en 20 meses. Sobrevivió porque tiene talento, pero también porque encontró su camino a través de esa tormenta abrumadora. Eran tiempos difíciles, pero él no cambiaría ni un día de esa experiencia.
Los mercados financieros fueron culpables de muchas cosas en 2008, pero parece que han aprendido de aquella lección.
