 staying there for days and won’t you take the chance to tell about ‘this thing’ to other people too?”, so I did stickers to stick around in NYC streets or just to give as leaflet.
But then I said to myself: “c’mon Dario, are you telling me you’re going to stop people and give them your card? YOU?!… you know you are so shy…” …I had to find a way to make people asking me, so that I couldn’t avoid telling them.
From that moment started what I can surely define one of the most exciting experiences I ever had. I cannot count how many people talked with me, asked me, smiled at me, they were like waves on the shore, I didn’t even have the time to watch one going away that another was coming. I’m sorry I will never remember all the names, but thank you Daisy, Richard, Robin and Evan (it’s been a wonderful night! =D), Cat for reading my palm, Deborah (what about the Colorado? =D), David (you know why =D), Ginny, Dan, Joseph, Diego, Mishele and Bertha (hope to talk to you soon =D), Eric (it’s been a great pleasure and one of the most hilarious dinner I remember =D)… and all the people who talked to me.
Well, you should have seen my eyes, only my mouth was open wider.
He told me he was really amazed by my idea and the things I did. We chatted about our recent thoughts on life and the way we would change it. I said that I really enjoyed the Conference and he invited me for the next year! =D Then he took my business card with a smile and told me to keep in touch, but then I asked if I could come to visit the New Yorker building before leaving, and he said yes! I had just to call his assistant, Anne, and fix an appointment. It’s been the first thing I did the next morning.
Then there I went. 4th Times Square, Condè Nast Building, 21st floor.
I met Anne, beautiful and very nice, who showed me all the departments and gave me many gifts, including a chic New Yorker brown bag with an elegant desk diary full of Cartoons (which I love =D) and an iPod Shuffle (New Yorker branded) loaded with songs selected by the music critic Sasha Frere-Jones!
She kindly apologized because Louis (the Vice President) was busy in a meeting, so I asked her if I could just also leave a gift and a message for him. I brought a T-shirt (the “Change Dario’s life” one – it was funny the idea to imagine the Vice President of the New Yorker dressing that words =D) and I started to write the message… but suddenly the door of Louis’s office opened, a man went out and after few seconds Louis went out too. He welcomed me with joy and happily took my gift, then he told me he had to rush for another meeting, but I couldn’t lose that chance and asked him if he had just 3 minutes for me to show him the website. Of course he had!
Then we watched the video-clip together and he was really amazed =D I think he just couldn’t imagine I did ‘all that’ only for the Conference, but that was exactly what I did. He said I had to talk with the New Yorker creative director, he called her on the spot, she came and we watched the video together again. She was amazed too =D and said we definitely had to keep in touch!
My life is changing right now while I’m writing.
I hope this could be an evidence and a message for anybody wanting to change: when you really do something to change your life, it just changes.
The Conference has been something I can hardly explain with my English skill. So please excuse me if I take my time during these days to make a deeper thought about what happened to me.
Thanks to everybody I met there and that are reading right now.
Well, what I’ll do is just try to tell all that people what I’m looking for and see what happens.
It’s late night here in Milan, and I’m going to bed, but finally we have a place where talk about Changing and I’m so happy for this!
I’d like to thank *Mario*, *Fran* and *Umberto* for helping and trusting me on this project (is it a ‘project’?). Thank you very much my friends, I wouldn’t be here writing this stuff right now without you!
– There will be soon a useful (I hope so) room for everybody who want to change their life, so in the meanwhile please just let me know your e-mail addresses (filling in the form) if you’d like to take your place in that room, so I can keep you infromed about it. Thank you!
Ok, done with the formalities, let’s come to the main argument!
As I wrote, it’s too late now to go through the Changing, but I want just to tell you that on Friday 4th May I’ll start to Change My Life.
If you want to know what will happen, just keep an eye on these pages and soon I’ll tell you!
The newewst entrant to Barbados’ insurance market is satisfied that it made the right decision to come to these shores just over a year ago.
According to Pan-American Life Insurance Group’s (PALIG) chief executive officer and managing director for the Caribbean Miguel Sierra, the company has been “growing very well” since it took over the operations of MetLife ALICO in Barbados and the Caribbean last November.
“We always thought – and I think this first year has proven – that we were right, that this is a fantastic market even in light of the economic circumstances...,” he said.
Sierra was speaking at the company’s Cheapside, The City office last week during a media briefing to review the last year.
He said Barbados was seen as a key market among the 13 countries in which Metlife operations were acquired.
“One of the critical markets and one that we really put a lot of faith in was Barbados and we still believe that this is a market that will allow us to be a very solid player for the Caribbean,” he said.
The CEO said PALIG had brought some new insurance products to the market and more would be introduced next year.
Meanwhile, country manager Keith King said heavy emphasis was being placed on customer service.
“When you look at it, most companies in the market provide the same products [so] we have to be able to distinguish ourselves from all the others – and what is that distinguishing factor? It has to be the quality of service we provide so we are focusing [on that] in a big way,” he said.
King said the company was doing all it could to manage delinquency.
