Just as we decide to call it a day, Ailton suddenly shouts: “There he is!” We look in the direction Ailton is pointing at, but see nothing. “Look there!” Ailton says, while pointing at the skies above the forest. “What are you pointing at?” we ask, “a flying jaguar?” “The sun has done more damage to your brain than we thought!” we laugh, “there are only birds up there”. Ailton changes the direction of the boat and looks at us like a schoolteacher would. “The birds you see circling up there are vultures, they feed on the carcasses of dead animals.” “The Jaguar has made a kill!”
Divers teams make better decisions. Leaders who innovate and make an impact seek out those who don’t share their opinions.
Research shows that the kinds of diversity we most commonly think of - rage, gender, age - had no correlation to a team's results. What did make a difference was whether the team members had different perspectives and different ways of processing information.
In the Footsteps of The Great Explorers - Maarten SchäferMaarten Schäfer
I’m cycling through Amsterdam’s historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an enduring testimony to the city’s rich history. During the Golden Age in the 17th century, Amsterdam’s port was at the centre of a global trade network, with ships sailing to Asia, Africa, the Americas, and merchants trading goods across Europe.
In this city of openness to the world, I was born and raised. This might have triggered in me the openness to experience, which involves active imagination, aesthetic sensitivity, preference for variety and intellectual curiosity.

What is it?
According to Wikipedia (which itself could be seen as a shared knowledge site), the Shared Economy is “a socio-economic system built around the sharing of human and physical resources.”
That means that goods and services that were traditionally traded are shared and exchanged, creating an entirely new economic and social dynamic….

Chad has a chequered history marked by civil unrest, instability, poverty and, more recently, streams of refugees flowing in from neighbouring Sudan. Recent developments suggest Chad may be entering a period of greater stability and prosperity. For the time being, however, tourism remains virtually non-existent in Chad, making it difficult for visitors like us to discover the country.
Half bent over, we make our way down the long steep corridor. After about 40 meters we emerge in the first burial chamber which is covered in hieroglyphs. “Here you can see the name of the pharaoh,” Eman says while she scans the walls with her torch. “And this passage is about his life...”
“You can read hieroglyphs?” I exclaim in amazement.

Close encounter with a jaguar - Maarten SchäferMaarten Schäfer
The next morning at sunrise we’re navigating a small boat upstream in search of a jaguar. From the big river we take a left into a smaller river, then a right into a creek and then a right again where we find ourselves in the middle of nowhere. “The first thing we have to do is look for footprints on the river beds,” Ailton says with a low voice, as if he thinks a jaguar will hear us. Just as we decide to call it a day, Ailton suddenly shouts: “There he is!”
I'm in New York again to talk about "the importance of our online reputation"... and as usual I'm staying in an Airbnb apartment. To move around Manhattan, for my meetings, I use Uber. Both companies are perfect examples in the 'sharing economy'.

The currency of the new economy is trust and reputation – the personal value that you build based on what you do – and how you do it. Your online profile should reflect this reputation. Storytelling can help you to transfer your real world reputation into the online world.
The Secret of a Storyteller - by Maarten SchäferMaarten Schäfer
Having a short attention span is not always a disadvantage. It actually helps for storytelling, and allows me to get straight to the point and skip all the superfluous information.
It forces me to talk to the right side of the brain in emotions or images, instead of feeding the left side of the brain with information.

Sitting on the deck, I visualise Switzerland as a brand. What would its
brand values be like? “Security, exactness, reliability, high quality would
certainly feature on the list,” I enumerate out loud.
“just checking.” “Okay, let’s see, Switzerland is of course famous for
its top brand watches, financial services and its favourable climate for
entrepreneurs.” ....

I have this joke I use to make a lasting impression when I first meet people. Instead of saying “I have dyslexia”, I say “I have sex daily”. I say it with a totally straight face, which makes people unsure of what I just said.
“You have what?” they ask.
And with the same straight face I say, “I have dyslexia. You know: difficulties reading, a short attention span, mixing up words…”
We’re in Aline Santos Farhat´s office at the Unilever headquarters, a light and airy suite with a view over São Paolo. We’re lucky to be in town at the same time as Aline: as OMO’s Global Senior Vice President, she seems to be constantly on the move. “It’s part of the job, since OMO is present in more than 70 countries,” she says as we sit down at a large round table.

Leaning back in a black director’s chair at the far end of the room, Oskar is critically sizing up a slender black model in a dark-green voile dress. His fashion coordinator Juliana Suassana walks over to the model and pulls up the skirt. “It needs to be shorter at the back,” she says just as Oskar notices us standing by the door. “Come in, come in!” he beckons. “Welcome! We’re just starting!”
