  • Bento Dinner Plates for the Post-Covid World by Myglassstudio
    Bento Dinner Plates for the Post-Covid World by MyGlassStudio Defeat Covid-19 Message To Our Customers Delight Your First Guests - Rejuvenate Travel What we see For 20 years we serve the food service industry. We have been here when the fine dining boomed, here when the Towers fell, here when the crash happened, here when the hospitality sector growth boom took place. Nothing compares... Covid-19 is a catalyst for change especially within our industry. It disrupts the fundamental values of hospitality: “the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests and strangers”. In Greece, we call it “filoxenia” and it has a bit stronger meaning than the word hospitality: it means “the love for strangers”. It was such an important value, that the abuse of filoxenia was the starting point of the greatest war in ancient times: the Trojian War. Today, disruption on a fundamental scale is happening. We cannot assemble and we do not trust strangers. Nevertheless, travel is in the human DNA. It has been there for millennia, it is stronger than the virus. As Homo Sapiens, we will adapt and survive. Where we are Despite the challenges that our clients face in many parts of the world, MyGlassStudio team is established in more or less Covid safe countries. The factory never seized to operate. We have a vertical production and we do not depend on outsourcing. Our sales teams have been working remotely a long time before the crisis. In this sense, operationally the crisis found us prepared. Our loyal family of people is striving to excellence even during these unprecedented times and this is cherished by both of us.

  • The “Big 5” and Other Ideas* for Presentations Donald Cox September 2000
    The “Big 5” and Other Ideas* For Presentations Donald Cox September 2000 *Disclaimer—Please don’t feel compelled to follow any of these. They’re just suggestions, and you might not feel that they’re right for you. Obviously you should plan your seminar in a way that works best for you, so please feel free to ignore any or all of this advice. The typical “style guide” sometimes sounds shrill and hysterical. People tend to get overzealous about matters of taste—even though, almost by definition, these are things about which reasonable people can disagree. I’m afraid this guide at times is no exception, which is all the more reason to take these suggestions with a grain of salt. Some people just seem to be natural presenters, and I envy them. But many, myself included, have at one time or another found the whole presenting process a bit frustrating, especially early on in our careers. Maybe you’ve run out of time before having a chance to get to your punchline or you gave the punchline but felt your audience just didn’t get it. Perhaps you got distracted by a tangent in the beginning and felt that everything got pulled off track. This happens a lot, and it’s a letdown. If you have some really great, interesting results and you’ve worked like mad to prepare for your talk, you want things to go perfectly. But there are so many factors that make things difficult for us. Public speaking is not something most people do naturally—many are terrified by it.
