Music, food, customs, traditions, dance, language, and many more form a culture. The list can keep going, but new cultures can be overwhelming. That's why the cultural shocks. So? What do we do with all the information?

5 Steps to Business Habit Stacking

STEP 1
Identify 1-3 key habits you want to focus on developing that will have the biggest positive impact on your business. These should be habits that are relatively easy to implement but provide high value such as daily planning, delegating tasks or networking. Focus on habits that are specific, measurable actions you can take each day to make progress towards your goals.

STEP 2
Choose an existing daily habit you already have as an anchor. This could be making your bed, taking your vitamins or checking email. The anchor habit should be something quick and easy you already do daily. Picking an anchor you already do each morning or evening will help cue the new habits without adding extra effort.

STEP 3
Immediately follow your anchor habit with one of the key habits you identified. For example, if your anchor is checking email in the morning, follow it with taking 10 minutes to plan your day. Doing the new habit right after the anchor will help the cues become associated over time.

STEP 4
Repeat the key habit daily, right after your anchor habit, until it becomes a routine. It may take 21-30 days for a new habit to stick so be patient and consistent. Don't try to build multiple habits at once. Staying focused on one habit at a time will help it to form more successfully without overload.

STEP 5
Once the first key habit is a routine, add the second by stacking it after your anchor and initial habit. For example, your routine is now check email > plan your day > delegate one task. Continue stacking until all your key habits are locked in. Stacking new habits onto existing routines helps you develop multiple productive habits efficiently.

Bienvenidos una vez más a este podcast donde poco a poco conoceremos Yucatán, la tierra donde nací y crecí, esto mientras practicamos español.
Hoy les voy a platicar de la Catedral de Mérida.
La Catedral de Mérida o Catedral de San Ildefonso fue construida en 1562 sobre las ruinas mayas de T’ho en el centro de la ciudad de Mérida, la construyeron los mayas bajo las órdenes de los españoles.
Para construirla, ellos utilizaron piedras de un templo maya.
En el frente diseñaron un escudo de armas que contuvo símbolos españoles, lamentablemente, durante la guerra de independencia, los revolucionarios destruyeron parcialmente este escudo como reflejo de un sentido antiespañol.
En la entrada, pusieron las estatuas de San Pedro y San Pablo, esta catedral es considerada la más antigua de México.
Por dentro es majestuosa, con una gran cúpula. En 1967, el pintor y escultor español Ramón Lapeyese del Río construyó un cristo de madera que mide 7.5 metros y descansa sobre una cruz de 12 metros de alto, obra que llamaron el “Cristo de la Unidad”  
Por las noches es iluminada resaltando su belleza arquitectónica e histórica.
Cuando visites Mérida, te recomiendo que visites esta obra tan hermosa ubicada en el centro histórico de la Ciudad.

So you crave the challenge and impact of a leadership position?

Here's your roadmap:

1. Self-Discovery: Before diving in, take stock. What kind of leader are you? What industry ignites your passion? Analyze your strengths and target roles that leverage them. Online leadership quizzes and career assessments can be helpful tools.

2. Network Like a Pro: Leadership roles often come through connections.  Beef up your online presence (LinkedIn) and attend industry events.  Build genuine relationships with leaders you admire. Don't underestimate the power of informational interviews – pick the brains of successful leaders without asking for a job directly.

3. Craft a Compelling Narrative:  Your resume and cover letter are your story. Showcase leadership experiences, quantifying achievements with data (increased sales by X%, improved team efficiency by Y%). Tailor your resume to each position, highlighting skills relevant to the specific role.

4. Go Beyond the Job Board: Executive-level roles often fly under the radar.  Explore executive search firms specializing in your industry.  These firms connect qualified candidates with hidden opportunities. Network with recruiters who understand your leadership niche.

5. Sharpen Your Interview Edge:  Leadership interviews are about more than qualifications. They assess your strategic thinking, communication style, and ability to inspire.  Practice common interview questions and prepare insightful questions for the interviewer.  Remember, you're interviewing them too!

Bonus Tip: Many leadership roles require strong public speaking skills. Take a class or join a Toastmasters club to hone your ability to articulate your vision and captivate an audience.

Ready to embark on your leadership journey?  By meticulously crafting your personal brand, actively networking, and refining your interview skills, you'll be well on your way to securing the leadership role you deserve.
