En los últimos meses, ha aparecido un personaje que habita cerca de las costas españolas y que se ha hecho muy popular en las redes sociales. Su nombre es Gladis y es una orca. La razón por la cual se ha convertido en un fenómeno mediático es el número de interacciones que ha tenido con barcos cerca del estrecho de Gibraltar.

Benvenuti al nostro podcast  oggi dedicato a uno dei più grandi geni della storia umana: Leonardo da Vinci. Conoscete qualcuno che è al tempo stesso inventore, pittore, scultore, scrittore di aforismi, ingegnere e conoscitore dell’anatomia? La risposta è semplice: è Leonardo da Vinci.

In questa puntata esploreremo la straordinaria vita e le molteplici sfaccettature del genio rinascimentale, che ha lasciato un'impronta indelebile nella storia dell'arte, della scienza e della filosofia.

Nato il 15 aprile 1452, a Vinci, una piccola città vicino a Firenze, Leonardo  ha incarnato appieno lo spirito del Rinascimento italiano.

Presto ha iniziato a sviluppare le sue straordinarie competenze artistiche e scientifiche. Attraverso la sua capacità unica di unire l'arte e la scienza, ha anticipato molte delle scoperte scientifiche future, diventando un pioniere nell'osservazione della natura e dei suoi fenomeni.

Le sue opere più celebri, come "La Gioconda" e "L'Ultima Cena", hanno rivoluzionato l'arte del ritratto, mentre le sue invenzioni visionarie, dagli schizzi dei primi prototipi di elicotteri ai dispositivi idraulici, hanno dimostrato la sua mente inquieta e innovativa.

Ma Leonardo non era solo un artista e un inventore, era anche un filosofo che credeva nell'importanza dell'osservazione accurata e dell'esperienza personale per comprendere il mondo. La sua celebre frase "La conoscenza è figlia dell’esperienza" riflette il suo approccio alla vita e al sapere.

Anche dopo la sua morte il 2 maggio 1519, l'eredità di Leonardo da Vinci ha continuato a influenzare generazioni di artisti, scienziati e pensatori, rendendolo uno dei pilastri del Rinascimento e un'icona della mente umana creativa.

Buon ascolto!

RAIN ON SOMEONE'S PARADE

Have you wondered what is important in a job interview?


How should you speak to HR people? What skills do you illustrate best?


What if you start speaking of a wrong thing that will ‘demotivate’ an employer from hiring you?


Have you had these thoughts when preparing for a job interview?


Most people forget they have value, they stand for something, and they have a character that (if positioned properly, and I help my private students to do that), if positioned properly, you can communicate ‘in a matching’ manner.


The job interview process is a science; it takes meticulous research into the ‘unobvious traits that need to be brought up', such as pulling out your beliefs and attitudes as a'sales point’ that can potentially be the defining factor in being hired.

In today’s recording, I’ll have you sold on some ideas my CEO students, C-level managers, and vice presidents of companies told me to share with you! J Since I have direct access to these people,.
