Within the first five minutes of meeting someone, we decide whether we like, dislike, trust or mistrust them! I’m sure you can remember a time when you were drawn to someone as if you’d known them for years  – or felt repelled on first meeting.  Even if you didn't know exactly why, a gut instinct sends a clear message about the other person. We create a perception of others and, likewise, they read us, judging our credibility and whether they feel confident to have a relationship or do business with us. This is determined through subtle signals sent to each other conscio...

Beware this is hard hitting...  Things now need to Drastically Change... w hatever your politics we all know that any disaster or tragedy needs to be managed with Good if not GREAT LEADERSHIP... Period!   Saving and Preserving the People, the Animals and the Land should not be about which party you stand for, or what you believe in your own world... unfortunately its far bigger than that.  This is now about Survival!

How do your emotions impacts your Business Results? Rather than waiting until emotions hit you over the head like a sledge hammer before you deal with them, its really beneficial to be aware of what's happening to your mental, emotional state throughout your day.  Then you can   maintain a positive emotional balance and can  respond effectively to situations that occur, i nstead of being 'in reaction' and  creating an  ambulance at the bottom of the cliff  scenario.
