People often prioritize comfort over their own health

Write a real-world use of "priority" here, and I'll verify each one!

Does this happen to you, too?? What other tips do you have WHEN (not if) it happens next?

Notice a difference after getting organized?? I guarantee you will! Let me know! 👍☺️

So true!! Gossipy people cannot be trusted!

Have you ever overshared at the office, and it came back to bite you?? 😖

Its a disgusting red flag when a corporation thinks their employees need to bleed their values. They are peope who need to work for a living. Thier lives are their own.

So true

Felt this at all?? It’s a harder one to conceptualize, but I think it’s definitely there.

Let’s hear your real-world examples of connivance! Don’t forget to use it in a sentence! 😅

BS

Do you use find yourself ALWAYS using these absolute terms?? 😜

😂 gets caught laughing when alone in a stock room, someone walks in "sorry im listening to an audio book" (doesn't even take the earphones out)

I would just say, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in making conversation, i just want some quiet. Thank you." I have bad social anxiety and can't deal with strangers being chatty

Has this happened to you?? 😅 How did you handle it?

Any suggestions on good, inexpensive ways to celebrate team wins??

I totally agree. You never know what is going on in someones private life. It could be relationship issues, it could be diseases, it could be the kids, it could be economical issues and so on. If you struggle in your private life, it will eventually affect your professional life in some shape or form. If we can be open with colleagues (maybe easier said then done) about what is going on, it is much easier to give some slack and elbow room during though periods of life. At the end of the day we are all humans :-)

Don’t bring your personal life to work.

Remember that you don’t always know what’s going on behind the scenes! 😅

Does this happen to you?? It's frustrating! Any tips you'd share?

I agree. You have held "a few" presentations before, so nothing new. The preparations are hopefully done in the days before, so then it is basically business as usual and just doing whatever daily routines you are usually doing on any other day. :-)

Are you struggling to stay up with how fast tech is moving right now?? You’re absolutely it alone if so…but it’s crucial that you do!

I used this this was bad 👎 😢

The quote is apropo for this wall

Can’t look forced, gotta be authentic!

Non authentic candidates will not do themself a favor if they should manage to fool anyone in the interview process. They must still function in their new job and manage whatever tasks their job description says they have to cover. Today you can order a fake Bachelor and Masters degree from a fake online university. The fake universities even have a secretary answering when people call them, a professional looking website and with the fake degrees they attach a list of word and expressions that they want you to rehearsal to make you look professional in discussions at work. What has the world become? Where I live, we have had a few scandals in the last few years where people got positions in top management and stayed in those jobs for many years before it was uncovered that they had no clue what they were doing.

Useful video, thanks! My cat likes cuddles in the morning.

Me when my friends don't want to hear me rant about my favorite video games for the 100th time

I. Don't. Care.

Thanks

Hello

I think presenting is a skill that everyone can learn, but it can't be forced. I was on a software presentation many years ago. I would guess it was 5-6 hundred people in the audience. All the companies had these slick guys in a suit that maneuvered through the PowerPoint slides and the sales presentation like a God ... and then it was this tiny software company with only three guys, and it was obvious that one of the (introvert) programmers had drawn the shortest straw, and he was sweating, shaking and looking very uncomfortable on stage. Their product itself looked like it was good, but the presentation of it was just awful. I don't think he was encouraged to do any more presentations based on that performance. If you have never done presentations before, it is probably a good idea to start small, maybe with a 5 minute presentation for a smaller audience, and then build your way upward as your presentation skills and confidence increases.

Ever had a super random moment like this where you learned presentation skills?? I was definitely NOT expecting it. =-)

Do you have a boss who forgets to build and lift you up?? They can be super difficult to deal with. Make sure you’re one who motivates AND encourages! 👊

Ask them how to spell it

Being honest always works

Once my old primary school classmate said hi to me and we both remarked how we just found out we're in the same uni together after not seeing each other since we were probably 12 years old. She asked if I remembered her, which i did, but I only remembered her face and couldn't remember her name. So to go about that I gave her my phone and asked her to put name and number in it. It was a little embarrassing because she had a super common name but I joked about how I couldn't remember the spelling (which was also the common way). But it got me out of the awkward, "I don't remember your name" conversation 😂

Honestly, I pull a totally different thing this way I get the name & don’t look too awkward. I get my phone out & ask. How do I spell your name? I want to make sure it’s right in my phone . Or I just say. I know this is crazy but, I don’t know remember how to spell your name. It works every time & NO ONE has ever caught on. This way there’s nothing embarrassing about it.

i CONSTANTLY forget to ask peoples names when i meet them i have 3 responses for this depending on how bad of a screw up it would be for me to have forgotten their name. one of them is, if theyre still someone relatively new to me, is to just say "sorry, what was your name again?" even though i probably never asked to begin with. the second one, if i should definitely know this person by now, is to either have the conversation and then embarrassingly run up to someone else and go "do you know that persons name?" or if im okay with fessing up to it ill say "listen, i swear i remember YOU, but i have completely forgotten your name"

I usually just say, “Can you remind me of your name?” Often, I find out that they have forgotten my name by then too!

Usually I just talk with them without saying their name.

I also try to make a joke around how bad my memory is to defuse the situation further.

In the short run you can probably compromise (with success) sleep, food and other basic needs that we all have. But in the long run you have to give the body what it needs. If not it will lead to health problems. Too little sleep and rest will also put a lot of unnecessary stress on you (as if work can't be stressful enough by itself). In short periods we can step up our game and work a lot of hours, but in general through the year, we need to find a healthy balance between work and private life. Neither you or your customers are helped by you burning your self out.

I agree on this. It is normal to have a mental discharge after preparing mentally for any event where it is expected that you should perform / deliver on a high level. This happens to athletes after a competition, and it is also happening in business (which very much is a competition with high stakes itself).

I usually say...Tell me who you are again. 😅

Has this happened to you recently? It's SO awkward. The best thing you can do is to simply admit you forgot their name, ask for it politely, and keep moving forward in your conversation!

Is this just me, or do others crash hard after giving presentations, too?? 😅

Good interview tips. Keep it simple and don't over analyze things :-)
