Tato Na Wyspach Magis#60 Aplikacje narzędzia i taktyki do planowania podróżyW tej zamykającym sezon 3 audycji chciałbym podzielić się tym, jak się przygotowałem i jakiej technologii użyłem, aby nasza podróż była jak najbardziej efektywna, płynna, niezapomniana i bezpieczna. Podróżowałem sam z 6-letnim wówczas dzieckiem. Nie chcieliśmy się spieszyć, więc zaplanowaliśmy naszą podróż w taki sposób, aby dystans do pokonania każdego dnia nie był ogromny. Pozwoliliśmy sobie na spontaniczność i dzięki tej zasadzie zobaczyliśmy wiele pięknych miejsc. To było niesamowite.Z drugiej strony wiedziałem, że podróżowanie z dzieckiem będzie wyzwaniem i czułem się odpowiedzia...2021-12-1516 min

Tato Na Wyspach Magis#59 Kiedy technologia zawodziZostało nam kilka dni naszej podróży taty i syna po Europie. Zurych był najbardziej odległym miejscem naszej wędrówki, a teraz wracamy w stronę Memmingen. Dziś zatrzymujemy się w kolejnym pięknym miejscu, Saint Gallen. Miejscowość ta znana jest z pięknej katedry. Jesteśmy dobrze przygotowani. Zostajemy tu tylko na jedną noc, więc wszystko jest zaplanowane; parking, hotel w centrum miasta, trasa zwiedzania. To powinien być miły, spokojny i relaksujący dzień. To, czego nie planowaliśmy, to sytuacja, kiedy technologia zawodzi.Rozdziały: 00:00:00: 🔖 Wstęp 00:00:44: 👋 Powitanie 00:01:11: 📑📌 Dobre planowanie i przygotowanie 00:03:34: ⭐️⭐️ Hotel...2021-12-0114 min

Jest wiele rzeczy, których możemy się nauczyć jako rodzice i wdrożyć do naszego zestawu narzędzi przywódczych. I wreszcie, jest wiele rzeczy, których uczymy się jako liderzy i które możemy i powinniśmy zastosować do naszych umiejętności rodzicielskich. Jednym wspólnym tematem jest język, którego używamy. Istnieje wiele sytuacji i aspektów, w których użycie języka ma znaczenie. W tym odcinku skoncentruję się na jednym. Nauczyliśmy się tego podczas naszej wycieczki do Zurychu.

Tato Na Wyspach Magis#57 Wędrówki w Alpach podczas burzy, czyli błąd utopionych kosztów w praktyceCzy kiedykolwiek doświadczyłeś prawdziwej burzy? A może burzy w górach? Zwykle zaczyna się od małego deszczu. Jednak w wysokich górach, takich jak Alpy, może szybko przerodzić się w niebezpieczny scenariusz. Dzisiejszą zapierającą dech w piersiach przygodę opowiadam razem z moim synem Danielem. W Alpach doświadczyliśmy czegoś, co język biznesowy nazywa „błędem utopionych kosztów”. Byliśmy tak podekscytowani i zaangażowani, że trudno było ocenić rzeczywistą sytuację. Przejdźmy do pełnej historii, ponieważ wyciągnięta lekcja jest znacząca.
