Living the dream💭

Buzzworthy:

Buzzworthy: This Arab Life: A Generation’s Journey Into Silence
In Amal Ghandour’s memoir, This Arab Life: A Generation’s Journey Into Silence, the writer journals her own transformation from a youthful activist into a powerful mid-life actor, against the backdrop of the crises, opportunities and tragedies of the Arab world. What seems as if it will be a book about a generation beaten down by societal failures becomes at the end a hopeful book about individual action in a world transformed by the pandemic. Here’s the book.
Best Practices: As Leader, What Do You Prioritize?
The CEOs of the biggest companies need to motivate leaders on their teams to make changes. Entrepreneurs, small business owners and nonprofit directors all face a similar challenge of making change through their organizations. Here’s an insight from Beyond Performance: How Great Organizations Create Ultimate Competitive Advantage, written by three McKinsey consultants. “In terms of mobilizing through leaders, a lot of CEOs might gravitate toward, “Look, we have to get the right mechanics in place—the right meetings at the right time with the right people on the right topics.” Our top CEOs said, “No, no, no—the first thing to think about is the psychology of the team,” wrote one of the authors, Scott Keller, in Fast Company.
A Money-Saving Hack: Travel Tips For 2023
The travel web site Kayak found prices were up 52% for domestic travel and 29% for international travel in 2022 over 2021. How to beat the increases that are expected to continue? Opt for flights that leave on Thursday or Friday and avoid booking trips during the busier months of June and July. And, book in advance. Here’s the optimal time to book based on your destination:
Central America: 2 weeks
North America: 3 weeks
South America: 3 weeks
Caribbean: 4 weeks
South Pacific: 3 months
Africa: 5 months
Asia: 8 months
Europe: 8 months
