One of the questions that arose in the latest (April 21/2008) Science of Getting Rich conference call was : "How can a person improve one's intuition? " Bob Proctor's response was to maintain the focus on the other person or persons, and take the focus off oneself. In other words, being pre-occupied with how one is coming across, rather than keeping the focus on the other, actually prevents a person from enhancing his or her intuition in a particular exchange.
Another question had to do with "what is appropriate when another person is taking from you excessively?" Bob Proctor indicated that it is apparent when a person is becoming draining, or is taking material things. He said something to the effect that to give to an individual what he or she should be giving to him or herself, is to mess with the natural laws of the universe. He went on to say that sometimes it can be the best thing for another individual, to give a person the gift of his or her absence.

President and CEO of Scotiabank Inverlat
I had the good fortune to hear and see Nicole de Polignac speak at a Scotiabank function last week. She is very dynamic, positive, focused, and also charming. It was the first Scotiabank Womens' event I had attended where the speaker received a standing ovation. She is trilingual (Spanish-English-French), and headed up various regions with a competitor bank previously - namely, she was head of Chile, Peru, Domincan Republic. She also headed up the DR with our bank most recently, and she now heads up our Mexico operations. She intended this to take place and made concerted efforts to make this happen.
It is interesting that of the 106 corporations in Mexico, there are only 3 female heads / presidents among all these corporations.
She also did a year stint in Indonesia, and for personal reasons, resigned from the competitor bank at this time. It was at this point that she joined the Scotiabank Group heading up the bank in the Domincan Republic.
She noted that Scotiabankers have long term work relationships among ourselves, and the relationships are deepened relationships, such that it may make a newly employed employees more aware that they are coming from the outside. Having said that, she also felt profoundly welcomed by Scotiabankers, who provided her, as well as others, with many useful suggestions and tips for working effectively within the Scotiabank group.
It indeed feels like a community or small town within our organization, and I feel very fortunate to be a member of this community or town, that has such talented, knowledgeable professionals.
