The ability to discern or judge what is true, right or lasting
by Thomas Oppong

Life is a great teacher — but no one gets a complete set of rules they’ll need for a better life or career.

Somehow you’re just supposed to know that building better and meaningful relationships can do more for your health and help you live a happier life.
Albert Einstein once said, “Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.”

There are no universal truths in life but there are fundamental skills that can help every functioning adult thrive in life. Those skills can be acquires with experience and time. Success is subjective but whatever your definition of success is, these essential skills can help you achieve it faster.
When to trust your gut and when to double-check with your rational mindAlbert Einstein has been widely quoted as saying, “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”

4 Really Small Things That Say a Lot about You

2/1/2021

Hint: It’s not what you say.

by Leah Njoki

Ever been asked to say a few things about yourself? Perhaps you said you’re a good communicator, attentive to details, or a team player. The point being, we all define ourselves in a certain way.

Here’s the paradox, though; It’s not what you say that is an accurate representation of who you are, but rather what you show yourself to be. That’s how people judge you. They respond to the image you project. As such, it’s critical to focus on what you do rather than what you say.

If you want to sell yourself to the world in an authentic way, focus on these four really small things because they say a lot about you. This way, you’re guaranteed to make a lasting impression and command respect from people.

There's research to suggest some genres of music are better for productivity than others.

By Caroline Bologna

There's research to suggest some genres of music are better for productivity than others. As many of us continue to work from home amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen big shifts in the way we conduct business. 
Without the background noise of the traditional office setting, many people have implemented music into their work days to fill the sound void and break up the monotony. Others have turned to music to help drown out the chaos of their home lives while they work. 
​
Music can help stimulate the senses and get the creative juices flowing. A 2005 study linked listening to music while working with quicker and higher-quality results. But research has also shown that some kinds are better for different work contexts than others.

The Downside of Focusing Only on Reaching Targets

6/11/2020

There’s more to life than reaching targets – Try including life skills for support to achieve a more balanced life?
By Suzie Doscher, Executive Coach & Life Coach focusing on Personal Development,
Self-help Author 
 
When a company focuses solely on reaching targets and continually pushes employees to reach these goals, the side effects often result in a high turnover and burnout rate.
​Ironically, this can cause the company NOT to achieve its targets in the desired timeframe. Pushing too hard in one direction results in an inevitable push back from the opposite direction. This is a law of nature that applies to the business world as well. 

 
Stressed employees trying to reach sometimes unrealistic or unnecessary targets tend to operate at half of their capacity. They start to make mistakes and lose track of the details amid their overwhelming work schedules. They tend to suffer physically exhaustion as well. All of this hurts productivity, the very thing the company is trying to increase.

Reimagining Organizational Culture in a Remote Workplace

28/10/2020

 
Picture
When employees are celebrated, appreciated, and guided by a positive workplace culture, everyone wins.

By Karen Bridbord, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist and Organizational Consultant

​
When I wrote about the inflection of workplace culture back in May, I was expecting the pandemic to be a distant memory by now. Remember when we all thought it was going to last three weeks? Yet today, six months into the most significant global health crisis of our lifetime, we find ourselves still grappling with uncertainty.

Instead of creating new rituals to uplift and ground us as we find ourselves, as I recommended in the beginning of the pandemic, we now must find a way to sustain ourselves. We’re collectively exhausted. This pandemic is a marathon, not a sprint, and we need to act accordingly. This includes adjusting our company values and how they’re operationalized in our organizational cultures.

Basic Facts About Emotions - Feelings Motivate

16/10/2020

 
Picture
as seen on one of Robert Gordon's slides:

One of the basic facts about emotion - Feelings motivate

 
  • Fear motivates protection
  • Anger motivates attack
  • Joy motivates connection
  • Disgust motivates rejection
  • Trust motivates stepping forward
  • Sorrow motivates withdrawing
  • Surprise motivates stopping to assess
  • Anticipation motivates looking forward

There are myriad combinations of these expressed in thousands of words for feelings.
 
One of the basic facts about business life:  Meetings are… suboptimal
 
We have a lot of (probably WAY too many) fairly useless meetings.  They don’t GO anywhere, people leave having heard, but not feeling heard.  The leave with ideas but not meaning.
 
Put the two facts together:  
  • In your next meeting, how do you want people to feel?
 
If you consider that every meeting is an opportunity give a gift of emotion — emotion that will create some value for the person, the team, the organization — what gift will you give?
