1st Gratitude List from 24/06/2008

Hi SCG,

I would like to share with you another eye- opening story which has happened 2 years and 5 months ago. It was June 2008, shortly after my birthday & I was kicking off my consulting career, when I was full time on a project. I was sitting in my hotel room after a day at client’s site.

Hi SCG,

this shipment is totally spontaneous and unplanned. I have just finished watching a documentary A Ripple Of Hope, which I have bumped into yesterday by total coincidence. Movie has finished only moments ago and my eyes are still wet, while typing this…More over I have found out, that today is RFK‘s birthday…So, I could not ask for more signs from universe, that it is right time to ship.

I would like to dedicate this emergency shipment to all courageous people with big loving hearts. Super Cool Gang-ers please watch this movie! [Read more…]

On Expectations

November 17, 2010 by Ivana Sendecka 13 Comments

Hiya SCG,

today’s shipment was inspired by Facebook status of my friend Prashant, which said this: “The Better You Do, More They Expect”…and this got me thinking. How is it with expectations? Is Prashant’s status update true or not? How should we deal with all those opportunities laying in front of us, in an interactive and connected age we live in? What shall we expect? Are expectations put on us encouraging or it is a burden? [Read more…]

Hiya SCG,

Who ~~the heck~~ is Nancy Duarte? Why should you listen to her? Let me ask you few questions: “Are you nervous when you have to deliver a speech? Are you not sure how you are going to perform?
