As I woke up to my 37th birthday and hugged my boys, my modest ambition of wanting to live until my 120th birthday came back, nagging… Nagging and knocking for action. For sustainability. As we were heading to the school bus stop, I took a closer look to my neighbours and realised that for years, these… Continue Reading

Sustainability and environmental awareness through gratefulness
Whether a corporation or an individual, I believe we are all drifting towards a comfortable numbness that makes us take for granted some vital elements. The end of the year always comes with its share of reflection. And what has been irking me these past few celebrations, is an over-indulging attitude we all adopt during… Continue Reading

Hi Richard,
Operation performance is closely intertwined with sustainability. It is by improving both that you create shared value.

First of all I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick
question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself
and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting
my ideas out there. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the
first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure out how
to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Cheers!
Thank you for your comments! As for the writing tips, all I could say is… “Don’t try, just share what you have to say, with an open mind. The words will follow”. And… only write when you really have something to share.
Great blog Zeina! Really like what you are doing! All the best for 2013!
Thank you Paul! Wishing you a 2013 full of sparkle and surprises!
