Conhecimento como base para o desenvolvimento econômico empresarial

September 8, 2022 Melanie Hawken

por Tatiana Casaca

Para Alejandro Pávez o conhecimento é «percepção e cognição da mensagem por parte do sujeito em torno do objecto», o conhecimento nasce do resultado da preparação consciente da informação. É um conceito mais amplo que a informação, para obter – lo, deve-se ponderar, avaliar e relacionar a informação, isto permite fazer previsões, combinação casuais, tomar decisão e partir para ação.

O burnout é real, mas não precisa de ser a sua realidade!

September 8, 2022 Melanie Hawken

por Filipa Carreira

O burnout foi identificado nos anos 70 como um problema do local de trabalho. Hoje em dia, sabemos que os fatores que resultam em burnout vão além do fator profissional, incluindo a parentalidade, o cuidado de familiares doentes e o ativismo social. De facto, este problema é gerado por tudo o que exige cuidados e investimento de tempo e energia.

Como saber o que o cliente quer, deve ser prioridade do negócio

September 6, 2022 Melanie Hawken

por Josefa Massinga

A importância do retorno do cliente.

Mas afinal, o que significa feedback ou retorno e qual sua importância no nosso negócio? Ser empreendedor não é apenas vender e lucrar. Nos empreendedoras oferecemos produtos ou serviços que são vendidos com o objetivo de atender a uma demanda. Os consumidores possuem necessidades e compram o que lhes parece importante para eles, por estarmos nesta àrea de venda de produtos é aí muito importante ouvirmos ou sabermos o que eles querem.

A chave para o sucesso

September 6, 2022 Melanie Hawken

por Elizandra dos Santos

Não sei qual é o seu sonho, mesmo não lhe conhecendo, sei que existem algumas coisas que temos em comum e que acabam sendo verdades não absolutas, mas arriscaria em dizer coletivas: todos queremos ser felizes e buscamos ter resultados em alguma área da nossa vida, alguns, no amor, na saúde, no profissional, espiritual, financeiro, na aparência física, no intelectual e assim segue uma infinita lista de coisas em comum. Alguns acreditam que sucesso é realizar aquilo que se deseja e outros defendem outras correntes, todos elas estão certas desde que faça sentido para o protagonista da sua própria história.

por Georgina Angélica

E se fosse possível mudar o mundo através da capacitação pessoal e profissional dos educadores infantis e assim impactar positivamente a vida das crianças.

Mulheres e resiliência 

September 5, 2022 Melanie Hawken

por Elsa Figueiredo Tchikanha

Graças à crise financeira que o país enfrenta em resultado da queda dos preços do petróleo e, mais recentemente, da pandemia de Covid-19, parte da estratégia das empresas para evitar a falência e permanecer competitivas é reduzir os custos, entre os quais se encontram os despedimentos. Esta situação tem lançado um número significativo de pessoas para o desemprego, pelo que muitas mulheres não têm outra escolha senão tornar-se empreendedoras e criar pequenas empresas, desde a restauração a compradoras pessoais e influenciadoras.

3 Ways To Enhance Your Customer Experience Using Augmented Reality

September 4, 2022 Melanie Hawken

by FutureSoft Team

We can all agree that tech has become an integral part of our lives, especially with the COVID-19 reality. Many brands have been forced to rethink their strategy and infuse tech in almost every step of the way. When we hear about new tech developments, it’s easy to get excited about what’s coming next; often, though, these inventions have little impact on our lives. Most turn out to be fun party tricks, while only a few are real game-changers.

4 Ways to Say No Without Saying No

September 4, 2022 Melanie Hawken

by Lori Milner

Saying no is challenging; most of us dread it because it questions our identity as being a good person. We fear saying no because we are afraid people won't like us or will let them down and disappoint them. We attach so much guilt and dread to this little word that we end up giving away our yes too quickly.

The key to success

September 4, 2022 Melanie Hawken

by Elizandra dos Santos

I don't know what your dream is. But even though I don't know you, I know that there are some things we have in common that end up being non-absolute truths. I would venture to say collectively: we all want to be happy, and we seek to have results in some area of our life. For some, it’s in the areas of love, health, professional, spiritual, financial, physical appearance, intellectual, and so follows an infinite list of things in common.

Auto-confiança

September 1, 2022 Melanie Hawken

por Altina de Jesus Lisboa

É bem sabido que nem sempre temos dias bons, há aqueles dias ruins. Dias que parecem que nada vai dar certo, uma pilha de trabalhos por fazer, aquela ligação por atender e um monte de problemas por resolver. Sim há aqueles dias, dias em que nos sentimos um completo fracasso, dias que surgem com pensamento de querer retroceder, dias que parecem que os negócios não vão a frente. Para esses dias: Relaxe e acredite.

Don’t do more, do better

August 26, 2022 Melanie Hawken

by Tapiwa Matsinde

Busyness and working hard are often aligned with an assumption of making progress. That, however, isn’t always the case. In fact, they could be doing just the opposite by lulling you into a false sense of productivity and distracting you from nurturing the specific tasks that are moving your business forward.

August 26, 2022 Melanie Hawken

by Kathy Mann

In my book Harnessing Stress, I wrote about how expectations can be a source of stress. What we expect of others can lead to disappointment, what others expect from us can lead to stress and what we expect of ourselves can lead to a great deal of unhappiness if we don’t manage it.

Your personal vision ignites greatness

August 26, 2022 Melanie Hawken

by Carla Wasserfall

The power of a personal vision is it helps you direct your energy to what you want, it gives you focus, and clarity and it helps you make wiser decisions when you reach a conflict of priorities. You go in the direction of your vision instead of being misaligned to who you really want to be. What do you see and how far do you see? Both questions relate to your personal vision. Every great founder, leader and entrepreneur who has made a difference started with a personal vision.

The last-minute.com procrastination syndrome

August 26, 2022 Melanie Hawken

Procrastination can become a lifestyle. A very unsatisfactory one, in fact. It makes us feel guilty and unaccomplished. Are you a last-minute.com expert? To be honest, I have been delaying – thus procrastinating – writing this article. My life has a renewed sense of busyness after living slow during the pandemic. There are several tasks on my to-do list that evade getting done … they even haunt me at times.
