Everyone has conflict in their lives – at some level. But – exactly how good at it are you? I mean – do you let it become conflict, or do you have a technique and actually enjoy it? Oh – and let me be clear – by conflict – I mean any sort of conversation in which at least two parts have a different opinion. It may or may not be necessary for every part to end up sharing that opinion – it depends. However, it is somewhat common that most people need you to think like them. What do you do?

This article is grand – touching on actual techniques, that – guaranteed – if you follow through with them – you will end up on top of the conversation (at least in your mind!). This of course, in turn, gives a certain edge on the rest of your day.

Suggested homework:

Think about what you currently do to hand a difficult conversation (even if you don’t have a thought-out technique) and write a list of what you would recommend to others.

Now read the article, compare language, and actions taken.

What have you learnt?

Have a great day!

First things first – the picture is “just a pretty window” – I didn’t want to steal any images. Follow through with the article and to her web and you will have plenty to see of her original work.

At this stage of life, we all know that our companies must and can do their part in forging a better – more sustainable future.  But – does it have to be so ugly?  I’ve had so many conversations with people who shared an unwarranted opinion with me – that solar energy didn’t work anyways, and why would we want to damage the views!?  If we were to listen to this designer – the excuses would be up.  Enjoy this short Ted Talk and see how this woman will change the non-believers.

Suggested homework:

What ideas does she give in her talk, as initiatives that anyone could take on as their own?

Have you thought about taking serious steps in improving your clean energy? How would you go about it?

Ok – we can take this with a grain of salt. I mean – we are in Spain and not the USA. I tend to see less humour involved in business here in Spain. I also see that women in business are very serious anyways. Is that even a fair statement? I hadn’t really thought about it until now.

I don’t think I’ve been very fair. I avoid the topic of woman’s day. It doesn’t make me feel so good. Am I the only one who that happens to?

But then surveys like this come out. And I believe them. Of course I believe them.

We are, without a shadow of a doubt, perceived in a much different way. So now you know it – if you are a woman, and plan on giving a speech – careful with the jokes.

Suggested homework:

obviously – your thoughts.

PLEASE go onto the original article and read more!

This is a tear jerker and it has an effect on anybody, I’d say. So – tell the truth – how much time do you invest in listening to motivational speeches? Is a situation of «If you’ve heard one, you’ve heard them all.»?

Tell me what you think after watching this video.
