Fábio Barbosa Joins the United Nations Foundation as the Newest Member of its Board of Directors

Fábio Barbosa, President of the Supervisory Board of Banco Santander Brasil

Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 07, 2011

The United Nations Foundation announced today that Fábio Colletti Barbosa, President of the Supervisory Board of Banco Santander Brasil, and leading social change visionary, has joined the Foundation’s Board of Directors.

“Fábio Barbosa has a proven record of bringing together leaders in the Western Hemisphere, the business community and the people of Brazil to focus on global problems,” said Ted Turner, Founder and Chairman of the UN Foundation’s Board of Directors. “He shares the UN Foundation’s vision of finding new and innovative approaches to help the United Nations fulfill its mission, and we are honored that he is joining the Board of Directors.”

Fábio Barbosa is President of the Supervisory Board of Santander Brasil, one the largest banks in Brazil, Latin America’s largest economy, and is responsible for its long-term strategic planning. He transitioned into this position in February 2011 from his previous role as the bank’s President. His vision of a transparent financial market that supports societal aspirations led him to the presidency of the Brazilian Banks’ Association (Febraban), and after 4 years he became president of the Association Board. Barbosa is based in São Paulo, Brazil, and has been a prominent figure in the country’s banking industry for over 20 years. He is widely recognized as one of the earliest and most successful banking executives to integrate sustainable, environmentally and socially conscious practices into his leadership. He has received many accolades for his progressive vision, including recognition last year as a Leader for Social Change by the UN and the Foundation for Social Change.

“I am delighted to join Ted Turner and the members of the UN Foundation Board to help advance the UN’s work around the world. The United Nations is the one international organization with the reach and vision capable of solving global problems including climate change, children’s health, peace and security, and poverty,” said Fábio Barbosa. “The UN Foundation invites people from all sectors – from all walks of life – to get involved in helping tackle these problems. I look forward to serving side-by-side with my fellow Board members to help drive positive change at a time when the world needs it most.”

In May 2011, Barbosa received the prestigious “Person of the Year” award from the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce for his outstanding contributions to Brazil-U.S. relations.

Life Coach Christoph Nauer Presents New Workshop on Stress Elimination and Goal Achievement

Life coach Christoph Nauer will host a stress reduction and goal setting workshop on June 10th

Lafayette, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) June 01, 2011

Christoph Nauer, who brings over 15 years of experience in ministry, pastoral counseling and spiritual direction to his life coaching practice, is announcing a new workshop to be held on June 10th from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Benicia, CA. This workshop, entitled “Vision Board Experience: Eliminate Stress & Achieve Goals,” is designed to serve clients who have lost touch with their own wellbeing in the barrage of daily life obligations.

“Most of us never stop and do something life giving for ourselves,” says Christoph. “We focus on our careers, children and spouses and in the process we neglect our own wellbeing which leads to stress with all its negative effects on our health.”

The workshop is designed to teach participants how to make their well being a priority; reduce stress; become masters at managing time and restore a sense of joy, balance and happiness to life; set clear goals; and close the gap from where they are in life to where they want to be.

Participants will build vision boards, a goal setting tool that will show them how to:

    Create a “soul sentence” for their lives
    Look at where they are stuck in their lives and what has kept them there
    Set goals in four different areas of life: health, relationship, finance & time management
    Use the “Remember Forward” Technique that will help participants live into their vision
    Develop strategies on how to put the law of attraction into action

Graduates of the workshop can expect to experience improved clarity, self-esteem and communication skills.

Clients who sign up for the upcoming workshop before June 3rd are eligible for the Early Bird Special; $ 10.00 off the regular fee of $ 40.00 per person. To book a spot in class today, visit http://june102011.eventbrite.com/.

Has it come true. How long did it take? Thank you

I saw this idea when Watching "The Secret" DVD.

I have had one. It was at eye level with me when my head was turned to my left on my bed. (So I could visualize before I went to sleep).

I have manifested a CD I wanted pretty quickly, which was about 2-3 weeks.

Other stuff like more money… I DID find $15.00 laying in the street, which surprised me. …But it was about 1 month and a half after having put in on my vision board.

I am working on deepening my visualizations…As I was not consistent with them. But still, I've manifested more money and a CD so far.

Personalized Visualization Program – The Vision Board System is the most powerful goal setting and motivation package on the market. It helps you to visualize your goals and dreams in unique and dynamic ways on your computer screen, mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, photo frame, on your office wall, personal website and so on, using your personal dream i

About two months ago a friend of mine told me I should create one. It’s where you paste pictures or write words of goals you wish to accomplish. Its a pretty neat idea for those who cringe at the idea of sitting down and developing a detailed plan of your future.

Travel excites me, but I want to leave the world a better place, any ideas on how to get creative with how to use your riches or what rich people with true morale do on a daily basis? Thanks!

What do you think? Answer below!

I do. Like a bunch of pics of certain goals or things you want to achieve that you have pasted on a board.

Mine is so cool. what is on yours?
mine is on my ceiling above my bed so each night and morning I look at it and remind myself of the goals I really want in life.

No. I've never heard of that but it sounds ravishing.

Did the Stock Market Bottom today?

If yes, then how long with this last? Is this a bear market rally? All rallies are guilty until proven otherwise and the market on the short run is way over sold. However, It is time to focus my attentions on another creation.
