Today, i have co-organized the launch of a new BNI chapter in POrtugal, South Europe – BNI LETHES.
The event was gathered in Viana do Castelo – Portugal for a massive group of entrepreneurs, CEOs and managers of the District. The pure art of business networking was here for the very first time. Can you imagine moving more than 100 guests from a small city in Portugal at 6:45 a.m.?
The pictures was taken by one of the members.

Today we the World’s Voice Day and believe it or not, i was speechless all day. Incredible!

Probably, my situation has cleared in my mind the importance of the voice to our daily lives. As a teacher and trainer, i was incapable of delivering lectures to my students.
Every year since 2002 on April 16, otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeons and other voice health professionals worldwide join together to recognize World Voice Day.
World Voice Day encourages men and women, young and old, to assess their vocal health and take action to improve or maintain good voice habits.

Have you ever seen anything like this before?
The Corporate Draft is an event for Fortune 500 companies, to draft (recruit) the very best leaders and managers in America. We must bring this concept to Europe! The Corporate Draft is an economic stimulus opportunity, using recruitment as its platform, with attending companies marketing their corporate strategies and economic responses to consumer, investor and labor markets.
Each corporate participante pays 30,000 USD for all Corporate Draft services include, very cost effective for the recruitment of any executive.
Check the Corporate Draft Gameday Program.
Another idea that brings the Sports expressions to the business world. Got to be an amazing experience!
