Mob Networking




Have you seen the reaction of a group of people to an injustice? Let me tell you about my experience...

I went back from a Southamerican trip the past Sunday, the plane landed at 9:30pm after a 3 and a half hour flight the crew take 45 more minutes delivering the luggage. The people from my flight seem to be really tired. Furthermore, there were 2 more flights form abroad so the customs process will be a little bit slow.
The people pick up their cases and then went to the line for an inspection to get out of the airport. I was chatting with Lalo Aspiroz, a friend of mine that was traveling on the same flight. And we both observe that there was a special line just for handicapped people. We commented that in some places that line also give service to diplomatic people, but this was not the case.
Suddenly into the line gets a lady in a wheelchair, and after her a woman and a man. Neither each of them needed support for walking and the woman made the indiscretion to tell out loud: "Don't ever think I'm going to make the line". The people near her became offended, that type of comments you should keep them for your personal thoughts.
Lalo told the 2 people that it wasn't a line for diplomatics and insisted they have to form in line as everybody else. The woman do not take care of the request and move forward, but he man answered that he has a diplomatic and that it was his line. And again Lalo told them, that is not your line.
By that moment every one on the zone was paying attention to what was happening and also the customs personal realized that they have to ask for the credentials or else, they were going to have troubles with the people. The woman showed some type of document that identify her as a diplomatic. With the man it was different, he has not a diplomatic passport and it became quite true that he was only showing off. People on the line started crying out loud: "Corrupts", "Make a line". "Officer, please do not allow to them going trough ."
The officer ask the man to step out of the line and also remove his VIP status. The people clap the officer decision. In this situation, the reaction from some of the people, made us realized that some mistakes could be solved if just a few people speak up.
Had you ever experienced a similar situation? Tell us about it.

Networking Dating Tips




Today's post is dedicated to those boys who have some troubles surpassing the first date. February 14th is coming and maybe you are planning to invite someone out, but you think about your past dates and remember you had bad luck or it didn't come out as you wanted. Don't worry, you are not alone and some guys have some problems moving forward this first date.
I was talking with my friend, let's call him Latinamerican Hitch, and he shared some advise that I write for you to consider the next time you ask someone out. First of all you have to think this as a business meeting, if you really like the girl, you will be convinced to close the business as soon as possible, so this business strategy may be useful to consider the tips.


Theme 1: Place and date The space where you are inviting her is very important, so you must consider taking her to a restaurant, preferably for dinner and where you may invite her a drink. Try that this date is on a week day, unless you are quite young, This is because on the weekends the restaurants have a lot of families or couples that may make you uncomfortable. You must feel some closeness and allow the girl to relax without the social pressure.
Theme 2: How much you know the place. You must learn about the place in advance, and know the menu and the food style they serve. Do you imagine that you invite her to a sea food restaurant and she is allergic? So before you invite her consider at least 3 different options on which she could choose, without letting her know that you have done a previous research.
Theme 3: Make a plan.  As in each business, its important for you to make plans in advance, once you know the  place and date, is important that you consider the table placement, where you will be seating, where you want her to seat. For you will be a complete interest in her so you must downsize distractions. She must feel comfortable also. If you have to make reservations, knowing the menu and prices, this is the moment where you consider this aspects.
Theme 4: Grooming. Even though you think you are not the most handsome guy in the world. For this occasion you want to consider your outfit and your physical presence. Make sure to take a bath, brush your teeth, use clean ironed clothes, maybe some discrete accessories. Remember you are trying to cause a good impression on her.
Theme 5: How to take her. It's important for you to pick up her where she is, she has to know that for you this event is important, that she is important for you and that you will place your full attention on her. So she will never arrive alone to the restaurant, neither leave by herself. You must give her the complete service, you pick up her and then bring her back. 
Theme 6: During the date. The most important thing is that you get to know her, so you may prepare for her several questions and themes you like to know from her. Her tastes, her interests, what she studied, her hobbies, if she has a project in advance, anything. Think as if you are investigating a future customer, you have to know what does the customer needs to then offer the best service you have. In this case, its the same, you must know what does she wants so you may adapt yourself to sell you as a candidate.
Theme 7: How much to order. You can't get drunk on this date, remember you invited her, and you are getting her back again. Also you have keep yourself together so you can pay your full attention. Because she is a lady, she will not get drunk, but always consider that you may even more if you are nervous, so don't get distracted on this theme.
Theme 8: Show interest but not hunger. She has to know at all moment that this is not a friend date, you don't want to stay in this zone. So as soon as you can, tell her your real intentions. You must make her get nervous when she is around you. But also is important for you not to declare that she is the love of your life, remember it's your first date and probably want more, so be careful on not to scare her.
Theme 9: The check. You pay, maybe in other cultures there is a wrong idea that the women and men are equal, but in dating events, the man always pays. And also remember you invited her.
Theme 10: The closure. Hitch told me that at the end of your date what you want to know if there are or not more possibilities of getting the girl. So you may want a good bye kiss. Don't throw yourself if you aren't sure she wants it to. If you are not sure, at the end of the date, send her a message telling her you wanted to kiss her. If the kiss do not arrive on the first date, you will have the perfect excuse to have a second date.
This suggestions will allow you to adapt your personal style, but if you follow them probably will have a good answer. The women like to feel attended and interested in us. After you get over the dating art, probably you may want to change some of the activities or the style in which you move. The most important thing is that you know if for you and her that was a pleasant experience.
Do you have questions on this? Send me  an inbox and I can take you to Hitch. If you made some progress, tell us about it.

Superbowl and Networking



The next sunday Superbowl 50 will be held and its a big opportunity to make a little networking. You may decide to gather with some friends, go to a restaurant, or watch it at home. Probably the next monday will be the conversation theme, my suggestion is to prepare a little basic information so you can comment on this event and sound intelligent about it.
Each year this tournament is held between the winner of the national conference and the american conference. The following table shows the teams that are at each site and how the groups are distributed. In this occasion Denver Bronco's won to New England Patriot's and Caroline Panther's overcome the Arizona Cardinal's:
NFL
So the teams that are on the superbowl are Denver Broncos with Peyton Manning as their Quarterback and Cam Newton is the Quarterback from the Caroline Panthers.
playoff
Nevertheless if your thing is not konwing anything about the american football, then you may comment something about other related issues brought in this event, like the commercials. This event hosts the most expensive television spots and of course very good production for them:


Last but not least, the superbowl is caracterized by having one of the best entertaniment halftime shows of the year. There have been huge surprises, like the Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake performance. This year you could enjoy Coldplay, Beyonce and Bruno Mars. Personally I like a lot to watch this 30 minute break, so I share one of the best's I have ever enjoyed:


This sunday seize the opportunity, do some networking and don't feel an outlier, now you learn something that can share.

Tell us, How was your weekend?
