10 Powerful Body Language Tips - 0 views

  • Studies show that observers have greater success judging a person’s real emotional state when they can see the entire body.

  • sat with unfolded arms and legs, they remembered 38% more
  • see your audience exhibiting defensive body language, change tactics, take a break, or get them to move—and don’t try to persuade them until their bodies open up
  • incorporate gestures into their deliveries, I consistently find that their verbal content improves
  • mirror other people with intent, it can be an important part of building rapport and nurturing feelings of mutuality
  • A genuine smile not only stimulates your own sense of well-being, it also tells those around you that you are approachable, cooperative, and trustworthy.
  • Touching someone on the arm, hand, or shoulder for as little as 1/40 of a second creates a human bond.
  • Physical obstructions are especially detrimental to collaborative efforts
  • Even during a coffee break, be aware that you may create a barrier
  • focus on those who are speaking by turning your head and torso to face them directly and by making eye contact. Leaning forward, nodding, and tilting your head are other nonverbal ways to show you’re engaged and paying attention. It’s important to hear people. It’s just as important to make sure they know you are listening.
  • simply holding your body in expansive, “high-power” poses (leaning back with hands behind the head and feet up on a desk, or standing with legs and arms stretched wide open) for as little as two minutes stimulates higher levels of testosterone

Why Have a Virtual Receptionist? - 0 views

  •  
    Business owners take all possible steps to ensure customer satisfaction. One of the most successful and recommended strategies in this regard is to begin with a virtual receptionist service. This service brings in extra representatives for a business and eases the lives of the customers. When the customers have questions or queries to be answered or any problems to be solved, they try to reach the authoritative body telephonically and it is not uncommon for them for not having to been able to do so. This is where the need for virtual receptionists comes in. Virtual receptionists are basically persons who work for the customer support but do not work from the office or any specified location.

Four Paradoxes of Great Performance : The 99 Percent - 0 views

  • the paradoxical key to great performance – and leadership – is the capacity to embrace opposites.
  • Even the noblest virtues, standing alone, have their limits.
  • Honesty in the absence of compassion becomes cruelty.  Tenacity unmediated by flexibility congeals into rigidity.  Courage without prudence is recklessness.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • 1. The Physical.
  • human beings operate best when we pulse between spending and renewing energy.
  • In our rush to get things done, it doesn't occur to most of us that intermittently renewing and refueling energy prevents us from relentlessly burning down our energy
  • The Emotional
  • most of us embrace the notion that confidence lies at the heart of success. Vulnerability and uncertainty are seen as signs of weakness. 
  • it feels dangerous to acknowledge our limitations and difficult to admit we don't know the answer, much less that we got something wrong.
  • Humility comes from the Latin word "humilitas" which translates as grounded, or from the earth.
  • The Mental
  • we've long worshipped at the altar of scientific method and observable facts and admired rigorous, analytic left-hemisphere thinking.
  • we've paid precious little attention to cultivating the more subjective, imaginative, and integrative capacities of the right hemisphere of our brain, which is visual rather than verbal, and capable of big intuitive leaps and creative breakthroughs. 
  • The ability to embrace both of these ways of thinking – to recognize that each is essential but neither is sufficient by itself – lies at the heart of whole brain thinking.
  • When we talk about spiritual energy, we mean the energy derived from serving a purpose larger than yourself.
  • far too few leaders in companies recognize the galvanizing impact of creating a shared and compelling sense of purpose
  • By contrast, we've found that people in professions such as health care, education, social work, and the military often run almost solely off spiritual energy.
  • Self-care is a prerequisite to being most effective on behalf of others.

    The paradoxical key to great performance - and leadership - is the capacity to embrace opposites.

How to Get a Raise When Budgets Are Tight - Peter Bregman - Harvard Business Review - 0 views

  • The formula is based on one simple premise: We can get more money when we demonstrate that we've added more value. And we can add more value when we spend the majority of our time focusing on the work that the most senior leaders in the organization consider valuable. That is almost always work that increases revenue or profits, either short-term or long-term.
  • Make sure that the majority of your effort moves the organization further in those areas.
  • stay on the same page about what's important and how it's impacting the organization.
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • quantify the impact you're making
  • f your manager starts asking you to do things outside the top two or three things, push back and have a conversation about it
  • After about six months of this laser focus, you're ready to have another conversation with your manager to identify the impact you've had and prove that you've added tremendous value on the things that matter most.
  • That's good timing since most organizations are beginning to think through their departmental budgets and promotions around the six-month mark.
  • It's not a trick. It's in everyone's best interests.
  • even if it requires that you push back
  • ultimately you'll be more productive, your manager will be more productive, and the organization will be more productive.
  • That's money in the bank. It will make your job more secure and you more promotable.
  • During this year's compensation conversation, take whatever is given to you without negotiation.
  • There are always some things that are more important to do than other things. The problem is that most of us aren't clear about what those are,
  • Minimizing that noise is our opportunity
  • There's no question that we're all busier than ever before, but we often are not getting the most important things done.
  • The idea of immediate results is alluring.
  • It's the temptation of the lottery.
  • instant results are almost always unattainable.
  • It's not that I think people can't get raises right now. It's that if you haven't spent the last year laying the groundwork, it's highly unlikely that you'll be successful.

Don't Confuse Passion with Competence : Harvard Business Review - 0 views

  • And without passion it's hard to do something that's meaningfully different from what has been done before. It's next to impossible to prove that a new idea will work. Passion and intuition are necessary ingredients for disruptive success.
