Have you ever wondered how the French say I love you?
The answer is one click away, along with some very french oddities.

French Follies feat. Leeroy

A thousand french ways to say I love you

Clara, a brilliant data analyst with a mind for numbers, walked into my office looking like a storm cloud. Networking events were her kryptonite. "I freeze up," she confessed, "Small talk? Forget it! I just stand there awkwardly, feeling like a total outsider."

Clara's shyness was hindering her career. Her analytical skills were top-notch, but promotions often went to colleagues who could "schmooze" with decision-makers. I knew I could help.

Our first step was reframing networking. Instead of a dreaded chore, we saw it as an opportunity to connect with people who shared her passion for data. We practiced "elevator pitches" - concise introductions highlighting her expertise. We focused on open-ended questions, like "What's the biggest data challenge you're facing?" to spark engaging conversations.

Next, we tackled the "shy freeze." Role-playing helped Clara practice making eye contact, smiling warmly, and using active listening techniques like nodding and acknowledging what the other person said. We even practiced "exit strategies" - polite ways to excuse herself from a conversation when she felt overwhelmed.

The turning point came when I suggested Clara volunteer at a data analysis conference.  She'd be interacting with people who shared her interests, but in a less intimidating setting.  It worked! Clara's passion for data analysis shone through, and she ended up having stimulating conversations with attendees.

The next networking event was a different story. Armed with her practiced pitch and newfound confidence, Clara actively approached people, discussed data trends, and even shared a few insights herself. She even left with a business card from a potential mentor!

Today, Clara is a networking pro.  She still gets nervous, but she no longer lets shyness hold her back.  Clara's story proves that anyone can become a confident networker with the right tools and a supportive coach.

El piloncillo además de ser un básico en la cocina mexicana, aporta múltiples beneficios a la salud de quien lo consume.

Se trata de un dulce ampliamente utilizado en la gastronomía de varios países latinoamericanos, así como en la India, Laos y Pakistán. Su llegada a México se remonta a la época de la Conquista y la Colonia. El piloncillo tiene como base de su preparación el jarabe o jugo no destilado de la caña de azúcar.

El piloncillo o “chancaca” palabra derivada de chiancaca, de origen náhuatl , significa «azúcar morena». Con la introducción del cultivo de la caña de azúcar durante la época de la Colonia, llegaron también técnicas y elementos necesarios para su producción. Se les conocía como trapiches o molinos a los artefactos con los que se elaboraba este producto.

Este endulzante 100% natural se obtiene al hervir el jugo de la caña de azúcar. La melaza resultante se solidifica en moldes o se envuelve en hojas de palma, esta última es su presentación más tradicional. Para obtener solamente una tonelada de piloncillo se necesitan aproximadamente diez toneladas de caña de azúcar.

En México el principal productor de piloncillo es el estado de San Luis Potosí, que cada año contribuye con aproximadamente 60% de la producción nacional. 


El proceso de elaboración del piloncillo suele variar según la región y las costumbres. Sin embargo, la forma de preparación tradicional generalmente es la siguiente:


Exprimir la caña de azúcar en trapiches para obtener el jugo.
El bagazo sobrante se deja secar y se utiliza para encender el horno.
El jugo de la caña se calienta en el horno hasta alcanzar su punto de ebullición.
Después es colocado en una revolvedora, que al no parar de girar, hace que el jugo de caña se vuelva espeso.
Posteriormente se vacía en moldes de madera con forma de cono.
