The Influence of Web 2.0 on Business

• corporate
• writing
• technology

is the name of my final paper on UNYP. I'd appreciate any comments and feedback, particularly in next day or two, since then I'll bind it and it's officialy done. The topic covers Web 2.0, blogs and social software in general and their influence on organizations. A year ago when I started it still seemed like a relatively new thing, today I'm not so sure, but I'd say that at least here in Czech rep. the majority of people, even those using the Internet, don't have a clue about these things. Not that I'd be helping, since they often would not read in English, but anyway.

UPDATE: I changed the name and there are also some slight differences in the text.

Training with Aliacte

• corporate
• mind

I took part in a two day training of my Dad's company, just for fun. I only knew it's going to be about positive approach, and I was quite curious what it will look like - I could always leave, right?
However, Masha, a very energic lady who did the training, is very, very good in what she's doing. Not only I felt (and still feel) motivated, but I also learned what I hoped to learn - new ways of how to bring people's attention to the really important things in life and how to explain these topics without resorting to anything that may sound somehow "spiritual" in any way.
I always find it interesting to watch people's reaction to matters like general approach to life, taking responsibility for one's actions or self-exploration. A surprising number of Dad's employees already knew much of what Masha was telling us, and they enjoyed how well she could present thoughts which people usually find difficult to express. But it was also nice to watch reactions of older people, who most probably never got a chance to hear these matters explained so clearly. In a one on one talk, some of them would even object. However, seeing how their colleagues all agree that what Masha is saying is true made them stop their protests and actually listen. And at the end, it was possible to see that they were deeply moved and that the training made them reconsider how they think and how they live their lives. Damn, I'd like to be as good as Masha in this :)
I would definitely recommend this training to practically everyone - I don't know about Aliacte in general, but Masha is really good.
