Power Skills – English Version
SUCCESS IS WORKING ON SOMETHING YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT. IT'S HAVING THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND BEING HAPPY IN A PROCESS OF CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING.

In Power Skills, Dafna Blaschkauer, a renowned executive in the international corporate market, presents the way...
The Brazilian New Economy
BRAZIL IS SILENTLY CHANGING. Globalization and the massification of technology generate opportunities for new business to emerge and for the transformation of the traditional business people into entrepreneurs. Startups and corporations that noticed this movement are shaping the New Economy, while the most traditional companies remain static, living in the past.

It seems obvious to say that the world has changed since we entered the information and telecommunication age. By scrolling our smartphone screen, we have the power to transform an entire battlefield. We are always one innovati...
Giving Up is Not an Option
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT GREAT ENTREPRENEURS, WE NOTICE SOMETHING IN COMMON: THEY WENT BEYOND THE OBVIOUS. THEY THOUGHT OUTSIDE THE BOX. THEY SAW SOLUTIONS WHEN THE REST OF THE MARKET ONLY SAW HINDRANCES. THAT'S THE SKILL I WANT TO HELP YOU DEVELOP. Everybody knows how hard it is to own a company in the current market—mortality is high, and achieving the desired profit takes time, discipline, and planning. As you build a company, or even while still developing your business idea, you notice some of the complications that might prevent you from going forward: lack of financial control, bad time management, wanting to do everything all at once, inability to finish things, lack of collaboration an...
How much is your time worth
ALTHOUGH WE ARE NOT FULLY MASTERS OF OUR TIME, WHAT CAN CHANGE OUR FUTURE IS OUR CAPACITY TO ACT INSTEAD OF COMPLAIN. Unfortunately, people can't take the reins of their own routine. They are constantly overloaded with work, with no time left for other areas of life, and, as a result, their existence is usually far from what they would like it to be. They feel unmotivated, exhausted, and have trouble sleeping—a comprehensive unhappiness. Yet, instead of moving towards change, they continuously complain about anything and everything. How can we transform this reality and live a successful, fulfilling, fun, and worthwhile life? ln How Much is Your Time Worth?, Fábio Ennor Fernandes shares v...

The Cyborg Caribbean
The Cyborg Caribbean examines a wide range of twenty-first-century Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican science fiction texts, arguing that authors from Pedro Cabiya, Alexandra Pagan-Velez, and Vagabond Beaumont to Yasmin Silvia Portales, Erick Mota, and Yoss, Haris Durrani, and Rita Indiana Hernandez, among others, negotiate rhetorical legacies of historical techno-colonialism and techno-authoritarianism. The authors span the Hispanic Caribbean and their respective diasporas, reflecting how science fiction as a genre has the ability to manipulate political borders. As both a literary and historical study, the book traces four different technologies—electroconvulsive therapy, nuclear weapons, space exploration, and digital avatars—that have transformed understandings of corporality and humanity in the Caribbean. By recognizing the ways that increased technology may amplify the marginalization of bodies based on race, gender, sexuality, and other factors, the science fiction texts studied in this book challenge oppressive narratives that link technological and sociopolitical progress. .
