Ramos, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Jose Xavier B. Gonzales, APSCI Director Dr. Daniel M. Alonzo and Deputy Directors Drs.

World’s #1 Leadership Thinker and Global Coach says 3 minutes daily is all that’s needed to change your life

Even the world’s top leadership coach admits he needs a helping hand to navigate through life and the decisions he has to make. And that’s perfectly okay.

Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, a best-selling author and the world’s #1 leadership thinker and executive coach from the USA, said that it’s OK to ask for help from others. While most people veer away from asking for help, Goldsmith actually urges everyone to get over the idea of being able to do everything alone.

“I do this exercise daily with a peer coach. I have someone call me to listen to me ask myself questions I wrote and provide the answers I wrote every day. Why I do this? I’m Marshall Goldsmith and I’m too cowardly to do this by myself,” said Goldsmith in a podcast with EntreLeadership.

Dubbed as the Daily Question Process, it requires an individual to ask themselves a series of questions every day. The 3-minute exercise can help people change their lives for the better when done regularly. While the skepticism is expected, Goldsmith said that most people usually quit the exercise after two weeks – not because they failed, but because it has already impacted them.

Amway’s Nutrilite PhytoPowder: Hydration, Nutrition, Supplementation in a single convenient drink

Rehydration is absolutely vital, especially for those who live active lifestyles, and for oral rehydration, the new gold standard is Amway’s Nutrilite PhytoPowder.  No other drink on the market offers the benefits of Nutrilite PhytoPowder, and the fact that it comes in convenient foil stick packs means you can drink it anywhere there is drinking water.  PhytoPowder is truly a rehydration solution like no other.

It is no secret that the human body is mostly water, but science has shown that when we sweat, drink too much alcohol, or when we have diarrhea, we lose not just water but the ability to retain water.  This is because the electrolytes that allow the human body to retain water are in fact water soluble, the water we lose also washes away electrolytes as we lose it.    

Protect your family from dengue, Zika, and other mosquito-borne diseases this wet season with JDI Home Pest Solutions

The onset of the wet season once again brings about heightened anxiety about the health hazards that come with it—particularly mosquito-borne diseases like dengue and Zika.  

In the first six weeks of this year alone, the Department of Health (DOH) recorded a total of 10,980 dengue cases and 51 deaths from it, the highest incidence of which was reported in Calabarzon, Central Luzon, and Metro Manila.  

Zika, although less prevalent than dengue, is an equally life-threatening disease that can be acquired through the same vectors of dengue—the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that prey on humans, day and night. 

On that note, advocating the prevention is indeed better than cure. Trusted industry leader, Jardine Distribution, Inc. (JDI), urges homeowners to make use of available home pest solutions to safeguard their families from dengue and Zika, especially when the rains start to come.
