During the holiday season many people forget what this time of year is bout and are too worried about getting the “early-bird” deals on Black Friday and making sure that they have the perfect gifts for their loved ones. I am sort of a “Grinch” when it comes to the holiday season, mostly because of that mentality by many of the poeple around me. But instead of being grinch-like this holiday season, I decided to simplify things and get back to what this time of year is actually is about; being thankful for what I have and what I can give....

Yelling is not healthy for relationships and its results do not yield long term positive results. A person may acquiesce to a yeller at the moment to get them to stop yelling, but once things get back to normal, they typically revert back, because the yelling hasn’t changed their mindset long term. For example, a Mom who yells at her kids to pick up their toys may actually result in the kids picking up their toys in that moment....

The kind ones never ask for anything in return and they just focus on giving. They don’t know how much the receivers appreciate for what they’ve done. When you give, do you associate how much you give with how much you may get back? If you focus on the result of having anything in return, you’re not truly giving. When you’re not giving and making sacrifice wholeheartedly, at the end of the day, you’ll only feel sad and unsatisfied....

Up until 20 years ago, your calendar was only a paper item that was either stuck to your wall, found in your diary or sitting on your desk where it collected appointments. It was designed as an object on which you recorded meetings with other people using a pen or pencil. The dates were arrayed in columns, lists or as a matrix of boxes, allowing you to represent a time demand as an occupied space on the page....

Not only does a girl’s relationship with her father shape her childhood experience, but it will also influence how she interacts with men in her adult years. If a father is absent or erratic in his behavior, this sets his daughter up for feelings of low self-esteem and trouble with trusting men in general. All parents should therefore appreciate the importance of understanding the father’s role in his daughter’s life, as his presence (or absence) will play a role in her self-image and wellbeing for decades to come....

If we make an effort to be mindful of these five principles when interacting with others, their personal needs will be fulfilled, which will help them to perform more efficiently. As leaders, our jobs are to make those around us better and help maximize their potential. DDI’s Key Principles will help us do that. 1. Esteem Every interaction we have has the potential to end in two ways. The people we are working with feel good about themselves and what is going on, or they don’t....

Why? As humans, we are wired to prefer things to be under our control because it makes us feel secure and safe....

It was the 28th of January this year, early in the morning. My wife had just pushed me out of bed so I’d get ready in time for our flight. It wasn’t at the forefront of my mind, but I was nervous: this was the first time I was going to be working full-time hours without access to my office or my main working computer. Despite all the time I’d spent either freelancing or working from home, the only times I’d ever traveled, I’d left the work at home....

If you find job searches a little discouraging, sometimes it helps to look back on the history of job searches to realize that even a stint of unemployment today is still better than having a job in the middle ages. After all, at least now you aren’t forced into the same profession as your father no matter what your personal interests.

Why? Because they want to get the best results from the onset; they want to be as efficient and effective as they can from the very first shot, and they want to go as far as possible toward their goal, all in one swing. Here’s the thing: before they swing, they weigh all the factors that go into it. Some factors are within their control, such as their swing technique, and some aren’t such as natural elements like wind....
