@1lolamarina @Gladwell In nature, nothing evolves in isolation. Although there is value in committing to one area, I'm a strong believer in engaging with diverse things and people. As such, I strive to be a polymath and to always broaden my mind. It's essential for mutual understanding. #StayCurious

Thank you for sharing that ! I have always been curious about almost everything and so many people have misinterpreted that as not being committed enough to one cause. I am a middle child and served as a mediator at home and in school. I have always believed that good communication is key to understanding each other and the world.

The world is heterogeneous and complex. We need to be very mindful about how we navigate it, and avoid jumping to conclusions. Malcom @Gladwell makes a some excellent points in regard. #StayCurious

@CalltoActivism Yes, they call it "caffè sospeso" in Italy.

There was a little coffee shop where two people arrived and approached the counter. “Five coffees ☕️ please. Two for us and three pending.” They paid, they took their two coffees and left. I asked the waiter. "What’s this about pending coffees?" “Wait and you'll see." Some more people came in. Two girls asked for a coffee each, they paid and left. The following order was for seven coffees and it was made by three women - Three for them and four pending coffees. I was left wondering...what is the meaning of the pending coffees, they leave. Then, a man dressed in worn clothes, who looks like he might be homeless, arrives at the counter and asks sincerely... “Do you have a coffee pending?” “Yes we do, sir.” They serve him a coffee.... I got my answer. People pay in advance for a coffee that will be served to whoever can't afford a hot drink. This tradition started in Naples. Amazingly, it has spread throughout the world’s cities and towns. It’s also possible to order not only “pending coffees” but also a sandwich or a full low cost meal. Wouldn’t it be great if we could all start doing this in the cities and towns where we live? Small kindnesses like this can impact so many lives, in ways we could never imagine. Maybe we should all try it. 😊❤️🌹

Even #DonQuijote understood that in #policymaking it is critical for #policies to well crafted and meticulously implemented. If not, the #government endorsing them may not be taken as seriously as it should be.

@xruiztru @xruiztru, what is the source of this map please?

Map of Africa using ethnically drawn borders, rather than those drawn by imperial powers.

Be selective when asking for directions, as following another's ideal trajectory may cause you to take a big detour. This is why we should be careful when presuming to copy and paste between contexts: It may not be in our best interest. #Governance #PublicPolicy #Strategy #SDG

The path to a #StateOfTheArt #CivilService starts with empowering #employees to think creatively and to invest in their #skills. Subservient paper pushers don't magically become innovative once they progress to higher roles. #PublicService #Leadership #Government #Innovation

We are here. When we get caught up in the web of our individual reality, let's remember that there is so much more out there. Just keep breathing and always stay curious 🌹 #NASA #Cassini #Earth #Space #Saturn #WeAreHere

#Employment is not all about the #Salary and the #Benefits. #Leaders and #Managers also need to understand what it costs #Employees to #Work for them in terms of #MentalHealth and #WorkLifeBalance. #Career #Workplace #Stress #Bullying #Harassment #HealthAndSafety @ilo

Today, on #InternationalWorkersDay we recognise the value of #work & #workers globally. The #Workforce & its #SupportSystems are central to the health of societies & economies. We must ensure fair and just #WorkingConditions for all. @ILO #Equality #ModernSlavery #Safety #SDGs

In your experience, which of these create the most friction among co-workers? #Work #Employment #Job #Workplace #Management #Leadership #Workforce #Meritocracy #Poll

Put your staff in a position where they don't feel like they are competing against each other, but rather that they can all thrive together as a team. #Leadership #Employment #Employees #Staff #HR #Teamwork #Motivation #Workplace #Meritocracy

Let us normalize work styles where one doesn't need to thank God the end of the working week has arrived (#TGIF). Creating a healthy and balanced work environment is possible. Leaders, do what you need to do to make it happen. #Work #Employment #Job #WorkLifeBalance #Leadership
