Women Re-shaping the World!

By Jack and Suzy Welch Being a leader is perhaps the hardest challenge any of us will ever face. No matter how long we work at it, practicing the right behaviors is a never-ending task. Knowing – and avoiding – the wrong ones is too. Thus, we offer the following six common leadership pitfalls:1. Not Giving Self-Confidence its Du

First things first: Confidence is not bravado, or swagger, or an overt pretense of bravery. Confidence is not some bold or brash air of self-belief directed at others. Confidence is quiet: It’s a natural expression of ability, expertise, and self-regard. I’m fortunate to know a number of truly confident people. Many work with me at HubSpot, others are fellow founders of their own

No, no, not the kind you see in movies or hear about in stories but the kind who might be sitting beside you right now. You might be one and you don't even know it

I grew up in many churches, as a child I enjoyed going to church. I would sometimes go to one church on a Saturday and then another on a Sunday. I liked to listen and look at preachers. Anyways, in all of those churches there was one message , "Do not be unequally yoked"

by Mary Elainne Dizon Your 20′s are the building blocks of your championship, so build toward greatness. Don’t fall into a trap of holding a weak mentality, and living your life without passion, purpose, and dedication. The phrase “If Only” is for those who hold fear more than faith, and who put more weight on excuses, than present blessings. One decision can

A sister in church used to always say; “when God can’t find a man he sends a woman”. I always thought it was something queer to say but I have had two incidents that made me see the good in that expression.

So  I got up this morning and I read a post by my bestie that started me thinking on …yes you’ve guessed it- Marriage and Divorce. I sat down and I wrote a very long response ; I made sure I explained everything I said because I did not want to offend anyone. I lost internet connection and could not retrieve the entry yada yada yada So you know what I am not writing anything long again

I like writing about the good people I meet, because sometimes I think we forget that there are still genuinely good people among us. I was taking in a taxi yesterday when the driver pulled aside to buy a drink from a street vendor...without missing a beat he turns to me big grin on his face and asks- "Yuh want something or wha?".  I returned the smile, but did not accept the drink.  My

Had to share this...  I am always amazed by the fact that so many people believe that no matter the condition of the relationship they are in it is a 'blessing' from God, that this man/woman who wipes the floor with them was chosen for them by God. We are so often afraid to be happy, or think we do not deserve be happy that we find the most ridiculous explanations to stay in relationships

Polyandry: The Rarest Form of Marriage Polyandry in Tibet Polyandry is a rare form of marriage where one wife may take two or more husbands. The Tibetan, Toda, Sherpa, and Marquesan are the only four societies worldwide that practice polyandry today [hmm, really?]. There are two types of polyandrous unions: fraternal and non-fraternal. Fraternal polyandry occurs when multiple brothers share

When Pigs Are Given a Badge – My Mother, Sister and I are Currently Facing Federal Charges in Trinidad & Tobago On Thursday, June 20th, my mother, sister and I left New York City and landed in Piarco International Airport in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago around 1:30PM. Upon receiving my baggage, a verbal altercation began between myself, my mother and a customs officer

I believe in giving my best, if I am too tired of doing something, or too tired to do something, I stop...I rest. There are few things worse than someone giving you half baked affection, half baked effort, half baked  loyalty...I am sure you ketch the drift

Ask someone if they love you, and you might get a quick yes...ask them if they love themselves and   you might get a half baked- "Of course!"

It always amazes me that so many people believe that growing up with one parent is the worse thing that could happen to a child. So many of us have been raised by just our Moms , or our Dads and have turned out to be remarkable people. People despise  single parenting so much that they would rather see a child be raised by two bitter people who have not an ounce of love for each other.

The older I get, the more I realize that the world is becoming filled with zombies. People who wake up every day but somehow they are not alive. They don't live! They go to bed at nights with little or nothing to smile about. How dreadfu

I am beginning to think that I have a 'vacation blog'.  Teaching is a demanding job and being as introverted as I am it drains me... I love my job! Seriously, I love my jo

The news came- "a woman was killed last night". I wasn't shocked. Not that I knew who was killed, but it is getting to a point where everyday I expect to hear of some fool taking the life of a woman, he cannot OWN. Then Marijke sent me a message explaining that, "The victim was Helen Fox". Helen and I were not best friends in school, I can't tell you what her favourite colour was

By using simple, clear, precise language, and following a few other basic writing rules, you can become a better communicator and improve the prospects for your career. “Clarity is

It never ceases to amaze me that most people believe you must pick a side. I would support anyone I think is in the right but ultimately I support what is right. If both parties are in the wrong it is never a toss up between who I like more; it becomes a matter of appealing to reason, and creating a win-win situation. Win-win situations are never easy to come by because as I said before people

10 toxic types you shouldn’t date By Dave Singleton ... Five toxic male archetypes for women to avoid: 1. Peter Pan. At first, you’re confused; he’s over 30 and (physically, at least) looks his age. And yet, there’s something about him that reads “college dorm” and “secretly wearing green tights beneath his Dockers.” You’ve found Mr. “I’ll never grow up,” otherwise known as Peter

The world is a confusing place and boy girl relationships simply make things worse. :) Ok ignore the smiley face I am quite serious. I have been listening to Pink's "Just Give Me a Reason", and every time I play it the line "we're just bent, not broken" sticks with me . The song goes on to say "we can learn to love again". I believe though that there are two things you cannot force- love and compatibility. Now

5 Body Language Tips to Increase Your Curb Appeal A long time before your performance proves them right or wrong, people will have made an emotional decision about whether to follow you, trust you, or even listen to you.

It is important for you to be in a job that you love. Why embark on a career path simply to make others happy? At the end of the day you will be the one getting out of bed to go to this job, not them. No job is easy, but doing something you like ensures that when the days get rough you will be able to 'smile at the storm'. Many are in jobs that reward them financially but at the end of each

They say; “ no good turn goes on unpunished”.   I am reminded of this daily. You stop to give someone a ‘shelter’ under your umbrella and the next thing you know they are pushing you out into the rain. You save a seat for someone and somebody else comes in and gives you a few choice words for doing so. There I am at the supermarket today waiting on a ride home, three children

Ever start up a conversation with an ex and then slap yourself 5 seconds into the conversation? Most of us have that one idiot we simply can’t stand, although we try. You walk into a bar there he is, you look around because you think to yourself there must be someone else around who you know. Hmm …no one… You say a word of prayer as you walk over, big smile on your face that somehow

I am not one for making New Year resolutions because I think that if you wish to change something in your life you will just do it; you don’t need a new year to do so. I do understand that some people just need to mark an ‘official’ start time, and I respect that. Now, after saying all that I made a resolution- to blog more.  J So here beginneth … hmm not sure if that is a double n
