What is My Professional Worth?
noviembre 24, 2009This is a life question I consider far fetched and yet deeply real at the same time. As a money earner since I was 14, and as a consultant for nearly 20 years I have had to answer that question a lot. Yet, today, for the umpteenth time when I was asked how much I [...]

This may shock some cultures, but growing up in Brazil, a large glass of coffee with lots of sugar was a very common menu for early morning and mid-afternoon faire. Hot coffee with freshly baked bread and butter were the staples of my childhood, and to [...]
