There are many things that are potentially interesting, many opportunities that could change the course of a life, many ways you can go about business that might make your company the new hyper-celebrated unicorn.
Yet, jumping from one to the next will do you no good.
Give one thing the needed time to grow.
You don’t care!
It just seems as if you don’t care.
When you are late in the morning, I feel like you don’t care.
When you are late in the morning, I feel frustrated, as I get to question your commitment.
The four statements all say the same thing. The way this is done, though, is extremely different. Only the last one opens the listener to what comes next.
And since we too easily tend to project our feelings on others’ behaviours – by judging the things they do under the lens of our own situation -, we need to practice how to give better feedback.
Thanks Ed Batista for the reminder.
Never walk into a meeting in which you have a relevant role – people expect you to present, to coordinate, to moderate, to organise -, without some careful preparation.
When you don’t prepare, you will either be talking too much or too little, the audience will get bored, the conversation will get all over the place, arguments will be shallow and discussions pointless. And there’s not going to be any concrete outcome. If you are not prepared for a meeting in which you have a relevant role, just cancel it.
This is also a great way to keep the numbers of meetings to a minimum. None of us is paid to prepare for meetings.
Experiences matter not because of the results you are getting, not because of the expertise you accumulate, not because of the final outcome, not because of the knowledge you did not have before.
They matter because of the people you share them with.
Make it about people, sooner rather than later.
That’s a way to cherish every moment of the journey.
The biggest problem with self-help books, business reviews, parenting blogs, marketing podcasts is that they give you a kick when your mind is at peace and make you feel awful the exact same moment things get hectic and you fail to follow their advice.
Hearing about what somebody else has done in similar circumstances is not going to shield us from pain, frustration, anger, and thousands of other feelings when the situation comes to us.
Life is tough, no matter what.
Finding your way, the way you can call your own and be proud of, is what you should aim for.
