Networking
Empathy networking
Want to connect with anyone in a meaningful way?
Ask yourself: Why are they suffering and how can I help them?
This could be as simple as seeing that your colleague is struggling with a task - and offering a helping hand.
Productivity
The big goals
Are you afraid of big goals? Research shows they lead to better outcomes.
Even if you only achieve a part of a hard goal, it will lead to a better performance than when you ace an easy one.
Make sure your hard goal is also specific - these work better than just promising to ‘do your best’.
Negotiation
A kind compliment
Want your compliments to have a bigger impact?
Next time you thank someone, try saying "Thank, you're very kind" instead of "Thank you, that's very kind".
Making it about the person and not the action is an easy way to make the person feel more appreciated.
One of the few newsletters I look forward to.
